What to expect

Drottningholm Palace is a well-preserved royal castle built in the 1600s, representative of all European architecture for the period. The palace is situated on the island of Lovön, close to Stockholm, and features a combination of a castle, a perfectly preserved theatre, a Chinese pavilion, and magnificent palace gardens, making it a unique experience. The palace has been used for pleasure and summer recreation from the Baroque era until today and is the current home of the Swedish Royal Family. The interiors reflect Sweden’s ambitions as one of the most powerful nations of 17th-century Europe, and the palace grounds were created during the same period with strong references to 17th-century Italian and French architecture

Excursion to Drottningholm Palace
This family's experience:

Activities: We went to Drottningholm Palace to show the children the castle and just stroll around the surroundings. The palace is on UNESCO's World Heritage List. We walked in the park, which was perfect for two active kids to run around in

Highlights: The whole castle complex is truly unique, with its park. The kids had a blast running around. We were looking forward to come back in a month or two when everything is more in bloom and the sun might be shining ✨
