Go City 2-day All-Inclusive: worth it only if today’s price comes in below that total, so check the live adult and child prices on Go City’s All-Inclusive page before you buy.
For a typical 2-day intensive museum visit, the pass can pay off, but only when its live price beats your own itinerary total.
When the Go City Stockholm Pass is worth buying
Buy the All-Inclusive pass if:
Visiting 4+ paid attractions in 2 days. Want the Hop-on Hop-off bus included. Plan to take Stockholm Boat Sightseeing tour or other water-based tours.
Buy the Essentials pass if:
You want three attractions of your choice and the freedom to spread them over 30 days.
Skip the pass if:
Only visiting 1–2 paid attractions. Visiting Stockholm in winter when many outdoor attractions reduce hours. Mainly visiting the art museums at their free times: Nationalmuseum (SEK 160) is free for under-20s and on Thursdays 17:00–20:00, and Moderna Museet (SEK 170 for adults) is free for anyone 18 and under and on Fridays 18:00–20:00.
Skip-the-line value
The pass offers skip-the-line at many major attractions, which counts most in summer, when cruise-ship crowds arrive. Strong value for first-time visitors during peak season.
Children’s pass strategy
Stockholm pricing for children varies dramatically:
Free entry: Vasa Museum (18 and under), Royal Palace (under 7), Nobel Prize Museum (under 18), Fotografiska (12 and under, with an adult), Skansen (under 16, since October 2025).
Reduced child rates: ABBA Museum (129–169 SEK for ages 7–15, depending on the time slot).
For families with kids 12+: The pass usually pays off. For families with younger kids: Math is closer; calculate based on which attractions charge full child rates.
The Go City pass and Stockholm public transport
SL travelcard: Stockholm public transport. 180 SEK 24-hour or 360 SEK 72-hour (2026). Covers metro, bus, tram, ferries. NOT included in the pass, which covers only the Hop-on bus.
For travelers wanting both the attractions and full public transport: buy an SL travelcard alongside the pass.

Go City Stockholm Pass — final verdict
Best for first-time intensive 2-day visitor: Go City 2-day All-Inclusive covers the major attractions; set its current price against the itinerary total above.
Best for 3-day visitor wanting transport: the 3-day All-Inclusive with the Hop-on bus, if the bus is something you’d pay for anyway.
Best for slow travelers (30-day window): Go City Essentials (3 attractions) — pick your three and use them at your own pace within 30 days of activation.
Best for families: Calculate based on specific child rates.
Skip the pass for: 1–2 attractions only; primarily free-museum focus; budget travelers prioritizing free attractions.
A pass only pays back if the tours it includes are ones you’d book anyway. Before you buy, read our honest guide to Stockholm tours, which rates the hop-on hop-off buses and the boat tours on their own merits, with 2026 prices.
If a pass you’re considering includes the hop-on hop-off bus, only count it as a saving if you’d have bought the bus ticket anyway, which in a city this walkable most people shouldn’t. Bought on its own in 2026, tickets started at SEK 328 online, the buses ran only from 5 May to 1 November (Thursday to Sunday from 22 October), and the last departures left at 16:00 or 17:00, depending on the date. Our hop-on hop-off bus guide explains who it genuinely suits.
