Stockholm's Heritage Tram Line 7N 🚋 a journey back in time (2023)Join us for a sightseeing trip on Stockholm's Djurgårdslinjen 7N! This historic tram route takes you through some of the city's most scenic neighborhoods, including the peaceful island of Djurgården, which is home to many of Stockholm's top attractions. As we travel along the 7N line, you'll enjoy beautiful waterfront views, charming architecture, and lively streets. Discover the history of the tram line and some interesting facts. Whether you're a local wanting to rediscover your city or a first-time visitor seeking unique experiences, the Djurgårdslinjen 7N is a must-see.

Enjoy the trip! Hello! We are in front of the Dramaten, Sweden's most prestigious theater, waiting for a tram that isn't this one. By the way, the Dramaten was founded in 1788 and has been housed in this 'Art Nouveau' style building since 1908. This tram is similar to the one we expect, but in the opposite direction. Here, we see a bus from Line 7, similar to the tram line, which I believe offers a similar tour. And right on time, a modern tram from line 7 arrives. After a long wait, here it is! It doesn't happen often, so some patience is needed. OK, let's go! Starting from the Nybroplan stop, we first cross Strandvägen, known as the 'Coast Street,' a prominent boulevard in the city center. Beautiful views, aren't they? Along its route, this line, run by volunteers, makes several stops until it reaches Djurgården, a lovely island with various attractions, including the famous Vasa Museum. The tram platform also functions as a bus lane. How the tram moves! I love it! Now we cross the Djurgårdsbron bridge; we'll talk about him later. Being able to sit behind the driver is truly a privilege. I enjoy watching how he operates the tram. I have a vision almost identical to his. This unique line runs on the same tracks as regular Stockholm trams. And it's wonderful to see modern convoys full of people—past and future together. The parks are lush, and it's already summer when I recorded this video. I get the sense that Stockholm has many green areas. It’s amazing. The interior is detailed, and it perfectly reflects its history. Almost no detail is missing. I need to see what this little plate says… At the stops, some people are surprised—they don't recognize this tram. If you're lucky enough to ride in less crowded carriages, it's a great experience. Traveling with him, you enjoy both the journey and the views. On Djurgården island, you can find many beautiful houses from earlier times, as well as the Vasa Museum, Rosendal Palace, the ABBA Museum, Gröna Lund amusement park—the oldest in Sweden—and Skansen, the world’s oldest open-air museum, which showcases traditional Swedish architecture and also has a zoo. I don't speak Swedish, but the translator says the sign reads: "The driver does not change amounts greater than 5 kroner." Currently, a single ticket costs 39 crowns, and if you buy it on board tram line 7—where possible—it costs 54 crowns. The engineer is taking a break; let's have a look at his controls. Here we find the regulator, which is used to control the gear change and the tram’s speeds, as well as the brake handlebar or steering wheel. Do you know what the remaining elements are for? Share your thoughts in the comments. We set off again. Some stops have poles like this one, which display information about the tram's route on a liquid crystal screen, making them very useful for this purpose. At this other stop, by the way, we see a pole that is not from the SL company, which is responsible for public transportation in Stockholm, but from Djurgårdslinjen. This is the 7N line we are riding. Mainly owned by the non-profit association Svenska Spårvägsällskapet. Hello and goodbye, current tram line 7! Returning to the city center, to Nybroplan, we cross the Djurgårdsbron bridge again. This beautiful structure was built for the World's Fair in 1897 and connects the mainland of the Östermalm neighborhood with the island of Djurgården. The tour concludes by retracing this canal and the Strandvägen boulevard. And look at the grand buildings on the right. I have loved this trip in the past in a city as beautiful as Stockholm. Oh! And from the Nybroplan stop, public transport ferries depart. I will ride! Thank you for watching the video, and thank you to the tram for transporting us.

13-year-old Carl Henrik about the City Tram (2010)Carl Henrik, 13, is one of Europe's leading experts on trams. Here he is testing the new Spårväg City in Stockholm. Yes, now I am at the newly built stop located on Sergels torg, and with me today is one of the biggest tram enthusiasts in Stockholm, Karl Henrik. Now we will follow him on the tram; he will tell you a little about his interest in trams and how he became involved with them. Yes, follow along. These trams are rented from Norrköping and Frankfurt; Bombardier builds them. They are 32 meters long and can carry over 200 passengers. The trams can drive at most 80 km/h, but you usually drive about 30 km/h here. On Strandvägen, they can maybe go up to 40 or 50 km/h at most. The first tram line in Stockholm was a horse tram called the Djurgårdslinjen. When they decided to build a museum tram in 1991, they retained the name, so it is now known as the Djurgårdslinjen. I’ve heard you’ve ridden trams in almost 50 countries—that’s right? Fifty cities? Yes, that's right. Good. I usually film and photograph these cities, so I have quite an extensive archive of images and videos from all of them. People often ask which country has the nicest trams. It’s hard to say. In Germany, they’ve rarely closed their tram systems, so they've stayed relatively consistent. In France, they closed their tram lines except in a city called Sonen, but now they’ve built new trams there, so they have modern trams like this elsewhere, too. It’s a tricky question. Here's what the driver's cab looks like. The driver uses just a lever—pull it forward to increase speed and pull back to brake. There are numerous buttons for opening doors and activating turn signals. You also have to change gears; you can press a button to shift gears when needed. Yes, you can change gears while driving. Oh, can you see yourself sitting and driving a tram for a couple of years? Yes, I’d do it in my free time, but maybe not with new trams like these. Though, of course, these will get old, so I’d probably drive ones like these then. But, yes. All that’s left now is to thank Karl Henrik for an incredibly educational half hour. Now, back to the stage.By Klgnhr - August 21, 2010.
