Today, we ride Stockholm's historic tram line 7N Djurgårdslinjen. 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.

Stockholm. Tram City, and Djurgårdslinjen at Nybroplan, A35B from CAF (2022)Stockholm, Hamngatan, October 2022. Here, the City tram runs between Djurgården and the City, called Waldemarsudde and T-Centralen, respectively. It was first built as a museum tram, inaugurated on June 2, 1991. It initially operated a shorter route between Norrmalmstorg and Djurgården. Interestingly, a museum tram now operates here, although it doesn't run on weekdays. This year, the museum operates on Saturdays and Sundays, with enhanced service during the summer and on special occasions. The Swedish Tram Association runs the museum as a volunteer service. This service, called Djurgårdslinjen with route number 7N, was extended toward the City with a short addition, starting regular service on August 21, 2010. The line is named Spårväg City and has route number 7. Now, modern trams of the same type as those on Tvärbanan are in operation. The investment was necessary for expansion towards future residential areas, but funding has been lacking, and other track extensions have been prioritized.
Passenger interchange occurred at the Nybroplan stop in both directions. The tram is widely used for traveling to various attractions on Djurgården, including Skansen, Vasamuseet, ABBA The Museum, Gröna Lund's Tivoli, and more. The trams are manufactured by the Spanish company CAF. They are a variant of the Urbos AXL model, known as A35B in Stockholm. It is a two-way articulated tram, measuring 30.8 meters in length and 2.65 meters in width, with an interior view of the tram type featuring recessed elements. Initially, the trams were Bombardier Flexity Swift, as shown in the inset image. The regular trams go straight here; the museum trams turn around the block to the right. Thanks for watching.By See Stockholm around - .
Join Tramcars-Carl Henrik's first work shift (2017)Carl-Henrik Linder became known as a tram enthusiast when he was 13. Today, seven years later, he is a qualified tram driver.
Built by Bombardier, this is probably how many people remember the tram enthusiast Carl Henrik Lidner. The 13-year-old who had already ridden the tram in over 50 cities and knew what he wanted to be when he grew up. Now that day has arrived. How does the first day feel so far? It's absolutely incredible—it's a childhood dream come true. I've been riding here for three or four years, standing right next to the driver and watching how it operates. Now, you're sitting here yourself, steering the tram. So, there's a lot of nostalgia. When you saw the tram as a kid, you thought it was something different. Back then, modern trams, buses, and subways didn't attract me as much because they felt so normal, unlike the original tram. I still think they are. I also love the Nordic Museum, Vasa Museum, and Junibacken. How much practice have you had saying those correctly? I haven't practiced much. It's like a child's bone, I think—almost. I used to imitate it when I was little, like taking a coffee grinder at home and cranking it on the kitchen table, and then the announcement would be made automatically. Henrik drives vintage trams on the Djurgårdslinjen and believes they will remain for a long time, as long as someone is driving them. But driving vintage trams isn’t a regular job; the drivers do it voluntarily in their free time, so it’s the real thing when Liljevalls konsthall Gröna Lund switches to trips toward Valdemars.By Expressen - .
