You can visit the park when it suits you without booking.
You can walk in the park, study the old runestones, go for a quiz walk and see my runestone workshop ... but do not let your children play in my work shop, it is dangerous.

If the kiosk is open, you can buy coffee and snacks, you can also buy my guide booklet and read all about the World Heritage Birka and Hovgården.

If the flea market is open, maybe you can make a discovery in there?

Larger groups must book their visit in advance.

Guidefolder

Guide folder

My guide folder makes yourself a guide.
Experience the World Heritage Site at your own pace and for as long as you wish.

Visitors to the Birka and Hovgården World Heritage Sites need to be well-read or have a knowledgeable guide to understand the history of the places and interpret the remains correctly.

A good alternative are my guide folders, one for Birka and one for Hovgården.
Everything I know, heard and seen is there subject to space, user-friendly presented with text, map and pictures.

A tip is that you order your guide folder in advance. Birka in particular is so large and extensive that you have to prioritize even if you stay there all day.

A guide booklet costs SEK 50.

There is one for Birka and one for Hovgården
