What does a well-preserved 1600s palace, theatre and pavilion give you? A UNESCO World Heritage Site. On our Drottningholm Palace Private Walking Tour, we’ll travel by steamer to explore Drottningholm Palace and its gardens.
The story about the tour
Step back in time as you board a steamer from the 1800s with your private guide and make the one-hour journey up Lake Mälaren to Drottningholm Palace, cruising up Sweden’s third largest lake passing through the inner-city of Stockholm. As you float deeper into the countryside, winding your way between islands, a yellow building will appear in the distance, slowly getting closer. You have arrived at the majestic Drottningholm Palace in the fashion that was first used.
What’s so special about Drottningholm, you ask? The remarkably well-preserved palace and surrounding grounds earned this 1600s former summer residence a place on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1991. Additionally comprised of Drottningholm Palace Theatre, Chinese Pavilion and the Palace Park, it’s definitely a place where you could spend lots of time. Easily accessible to all, locals are often seen walking in the park or picnicking under the oak trees as dogs play in the dog park on its own separate island.
If that’s not enough, it’s also the permanent residence of the King and Queen of Sweden. They moved out here in 1981, being the first royals to make this palace a permanent home. Since then, they have raised their children in peaceful surroundings and now welcome grandchildren to run around in their parent’s footsteps.
On our royal outing, we’ll enjoy a tour of the palace followed by a leisurely stroll through the gardens to the Chinese Pavilion and back. Two hours later, it’s time to catch the boat back to Stockholm. Arriving back to the quay at Stockholm City Hall, wave goodbye to your private guide, and tick this fabulous UNESCO World Heritage Site off your list.

Happy Nobel Day! 💡 As Nobel Week was cancelled in 2020, Nobel lectures, prizes and banquets were replaced with Nobel Week Lights - light installations inspired by Nobel Prize-awarded findings and laureates. As the festivities are now back, we sure hope that we are so lucky that the artwork brightening up the city during the darkest month of the year; is a December tradition that has come to stay. 💫
🇸🇪
Nobeldagen är här! 💡 Nobelveckan blev inställd 2020, och istället för Nobelföreläsningar, prisutdelning och bankett genomfördes Nobel Week Lights som är ljusinstallationer inspirerade av Nobelpris på olika platser i Stockholm. Det blev så uppskattat att det genomförs i år igen trots att Nobelveckan är återinförd. Har vi tur så är det en decembertradition som kommit för att stanna. 💫

It’s a contested issue amongst numerous Baltic connected countries as to who invented the Ice-skate. Was it the Finns or the Dutch? All of this is irrelevant because the best city to ice-skate in is Stockholm. If you want to show off your Quadruple Axel in front of the masses, the ice-rink in Kungsträdgården is the perfect location. ✨⛸️✨

Don`t let its controversy cloud your curiosity as Christianshavns characteristic slanting roofs and canals, as well as the tremendous Church of Our Saviour, are well worth seeing. Not to forget the Færgecafé or Café Parterre who are both worth visiting.
