The theatre is a little jewel, hard to digest so much "royal history" based on wars, lavish luxuries and robberies across Europe for the sake of glory and Ego

Sweden’s stately 17th-century royal residence, on the shore of Lake Mälaren a few miles west of the city , is surrounded by acres of parks and has gilded halls and Versailles-inspired Baroque gardens .

Drottningholm Palace is Sweden 's best preserved royal palace constructed in the seventeenth century, the permanent residence of the royal family and one of Stockholm 's three World Heritage Sites.

Aleksandar

It was originally built in the late 16th century, and it served as a regular summer residence of the Swedish royal court for most of the 18th century.

James Salt

Official royal residence of the King and Queen of Sweden . Take the Picturesque boat journey from Stadshuset. Large Baroque garden with good photography opportunities. Does a good grilled sandwich too.

Incredible ornate palace and gardens that is worth exploring for most of the day. Be sure to check out the baroque opera house - a truly unique experience.

Rabia Hussain

This really is a must see. Palace is beautiful but it's the waterside site and lush garden that really makes it worth a visit. You need half a day to really enjoy it.

Eman

So vast garden with two castles on the sides. Relaxing and enjoyable walks are recommended here ????????

Mariana Rodrigues

Not sure if worth to visit: it is quite easy to get there by public transportation or boat tour (during summer) but the palace is not well conserved, close to a highway... If misses some magic

Elaine

take the ferry (with brunch or dinner options) one way and spend a day here. Can return by bus . Also bike friendly from Stockholm

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Beautiful. Even more outstanding if you take the tour - English and several other languages available.

Suéli Galvão

Beautiful palace . If you're not willing to pay the entrance you can admire and walk for free in the huge gardens .

bluestorm

If you have the Stockholm Card walk around in the palace (you don't need the tour ). Otherwise visit the garden . It's for free. No photos allowed inside :(

Sofia Svanholm

The Drottningholm Palace estate is a UNESCO World Heritage listed site. Parts of the palace is open to the public, the other part is the private home of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia.

Mariana Rocha

The garden is amazing! So good I went there twice already! So peaceful and cool! ;)

Francesco Paolo Fumarola

Didn't really impress me but definitely a must see if you live in Sweden

Try not to miss the guided tour and enjoy the Gardens on your way to the Chinese Pavilion.

Ferry to here and back is included in the Stockholm Pass. So is the entrance fee.

Nuno Coelho

Beautiful garden ! Go there by bike for a wonderful tour .

Renee T

Skip this. Tour is just the guide holding up photos of paintings of what the rooms used to look like. No photos allowed- nothing to take a picture of anyway. Go for the view of the grounds for free.

Alex

Beautiful place to walk and enjoy the nature.

Annemiek Jonker

Home to the royal family , not too far from inner-city Stockholm .

Oleksandra Kalm

Lovely place!

Kristee Song

Lavish, very lavish

Erica

Nice, but not worth the entrance fee. Just walk around it and see the gardens .

Maya Shanmugam

Such a gem of a palace

Matthew Morton

It’s OK here. Not the most lavish or impressive palace Blenheim in England certainly has a lot more going for it and is better priced.

Jiahan

a chance to spot the royal family (jk), more like the royal ducks

Ryan Corneta

The queen's palace garden is beautiful.

Stefan Didrik

Skip the tour . Overpriced and uninspiring. Cafe is also average and expensive . Bring a picnic and walk the grounds for free.

Stefan Didrik

Pricy as...

Ruslan Dosaev

Супер супер место! Самое главное тут парк ! А в парке - это река и озеро . И ещё дубы! Идиллия полная! Вход во дворец 130 крон (2017г.), Китайский домик - 100 крон , парк бесплатно!

Karla Viviana Delgado

Había leído comentarios muy mails y la verdad me lleve una grata sorpresa, los jardines son preciosos, el castillo una galería de arte y me quede con ganas de ver una obra en el teatro !

Timtim Nester

Шведский Версаль. По основному зданию есть экскурсии на английском в 12:00, 14:00 и 16:00, с середины до конца лета на русском языке в 13:00. Можно добраться на корабле от причала около Ратуши.
