The Pilgrim Passport is a unique item for those who pilgrimages. In the past, it was a necessary document to gain permission to walk. It is issued by the Bishop of the Diocese of Linköping. Pilgrims, both then and now, collect unique stamps in their passports to show where they have traveled. Today, it also entitles you to special offers along the trail, such as discounts or exclusive experiences for pilgrims.
The Pilgrim Passport can easily become a cherished companion and keepsake. Once you reach your destination in Vadstena and can show that you have walked at least 100 kilometers on the pilgrimage route (not necessarily in one stretch), you will receive your Pilgrim Certificate. Many major pilgrimage routes and destinations across Europe have similar pilgrim passports. As a pilgrim, you are welcome to be part of something greater.
Order your Pilgrim Passport through our web shop
The Pilgrim Passport can be ordered from Vadstena Pilgrimscentrum and costs 50 SEK.
If you have walked 100 kilometers (not necessarily in one stretch) to Vadstena, you can request St. Birgitta's Pilgrim Certificate as proof of your pilgrimage. You will need to show your Pilgrim Passport with the stamps and/or signatures you have collected along the way as documentation.
The St. Birgitas's Pilgrim Certificate is free of charge and is distributed at the Pilgrimscentrum, located near the Klosterkyrkan in Vadstena.
