What happens
Gunnes gård is a reconstructed Viking Age farm owned by the municipality and run with a local association. The autumn market brings traders with historical goods, smithing at the forge, archery lessons, combat demonstrations on the sports field and family activities. Free entry and a commuter train connection make it the most accessible Viking market in the Stockholm area.
What visitors say
Gunnes gård rates around 4.5 out of 5 on Tripadvisor, with reviews in Swedish and English describing a genuine, well-kept reconstruction of an early eleventh-century farm on a real burial ground, staff in period dress who are warm and knowledgeable, animals, and a good day out for children a short way north of Stockholm. The autumn market draws around 6,000 people over two days for crafts, music, theatre, workshops and combat displays, and it is free. The only complaints concern crowds on market Saturday.
Our take
Gunnes gård is the Viking market for a Stockholm visitor without a car. Commuter train, a walk, no ticket, and a proper reconstructed farm with a real market on it. Go on the Sunday if you can, when it is quieter, and do the farm properly as well as the stalls. It closes the Stockholm season, so it is also the last chance of the year.
Our take is based on visitor reviews, reenactor forums and the organizer’s own program, not on a visit. We say so because we think you should know.
Getting there
Commuter trains from Stockholm Central reach Upplands Väsby in about 25 minutes. From the station, take a local bus towards Runby or walk 25 minutes. Arlanda Airport is twenty minutes away by car.
