Coming from the center of Stockholm and the fascinating Vasa Museum, you enter the Skansen open-air museum and Zoo from the main entrance, the Hazelius gate.
Here, if you want to avoid a demanding climb, you can use the Bergbana, the historic Skansen funicular.
The Bergbana was built in 1897, on the occasion of the Stockholm Exposition, on the north-western side of Skansen. A great success, considering the number of passengers carried.
Initially 109 meters long, it was in regular service until the 1940s. Subsequently it was deeply renewed and modernized, above all to meet the needs in terms of safety.

The path, surrounded by nature, has almost doubled, bringing the length of the path to 196 meters overall.
Lazy people can use it to avoid the hill climb from the Hazelius entrance!
