Galärvarvet är ett område på Södra Djurgården i Stockholm som fram till 1969 var en del av Stockholms örlogsvarv. Galärvarvet var ursprungligen, från 1720-talet, uppläggningsplats för skärgårdsflottans galärer. Idag upptas området av Galärparken.
Beloved by both Stockholmers and visitors, Djurgården is a tranquil oasis in the middle of Stockholm. The island has been in possession of the crown since the 15th century. Like no other place in Stockholm it collects many of the city’s most famous museums and cultural attractions (the Vasa Museum, Gröna Lund, the Abba museum and Skansen to name a few) with green nature, parks, and family-friendly activities. Djurgården can be reached by bus, tram or ferry from central Stockholm. Though on a beautiful summer day a walk along Strandvägen, from The Royal Dramatic Theatre to Djurgårdsbron, is highly recommended.
