Drottningholm Palace - Private Driving Tour

What do you need to make a UNESCO World Heritage Site? Join us to find out! On our Drottningholm Palace Private Driving Tour, we check out the residence of the King and Queen and introduce you to their royal grounds.

The story about the tour

Prepare to step back a few hundred years in time as you jump into your private vehicle with your private guide and make the approximately 20-30 minute drive out of the inner-city of Stockholm closer to the countryside. A yellow building will appear as you cross the bridge to Lovön. You’re looking at the majestic Drottningholm Palace, the permanent residence of Their Majesties, the King and Queen of Sweden. 

The remarkably well-preserved palace and gardens earned a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1991. Made up of the Palace, the Drottningholm Palace Theatre, the Chinese Pavilion and the Palace Park, it is an unparalleled site in Sweden. Walking through the grounds, you’ll see why it’s loved by the locals, who are often seen taking a walk or picnicking in the park. 

Not impressed yet? Since 1981, Drottningholm Palace has been the home of the King and Queen of Sweden, turning this summer residence into a permanent residence for the first time. Who wouldn’t want the palace garden as their backyard playground? Wait until you see it! Today the Royal Couple have plenty of grandchildren to come and visit the former home of the pair’s three children, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Madeleine. Who knows, maybe you’ll catch a glimpse of them! 

During our visit to the Royal Domain of Drottningholm, we’ll take a private tour of the palace and its exquisite rooms. Afterwards, we’ll go out to the Baroque Garden, and English Park for a stroll to the Chinese Pavilion, like courtiers used to enjoy. A couple of hours later, it’s time to travel back to the city. Your royal excursion will end back where you began. Bid your farewell to your private driver and guide, and if you’re collecting UNESCO World Heritage Sites, you can proudly cross Drottningholm Palace and its grounds 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.

    A few hundred years ago, if you asked a Norwegian how old they were they might reply “I have seen forty winters!” Every year of life was a success! Now, living conditions are of course much improved, but there is no such thing as a mild winter here. Bring thermal underwear, wool and grow a beard... if you can. ❄️☃️☃️

    Of course, if you love the snow and want to ski, then you`re in the perfect place, and you get to see the beauty of Oslo in a truly Nordic light! The canvas of white snow - unpredictable but usually arriving in November/December - can provide a canvas of light across the city that makes up for the few hours of sunlight the people of Oslo get to enjoy. While still beautiful, it`s best to stay inside! ✨✨

    The temperature might not be super-cold in Winter in Copenhagen, but strong winds make it quite chilly. 🌬 The city is still quite magical. 🌟 The Christmas markets open already in the middle of November so that you can warm up with a hot Gløgg! Expect 10 to 13 rainy days per month.

    The first snow is here with us in Stockholm! 😍❄

    Södermalm (the South Island) is the largest of all the islands that make up Stockholm. For the majority of Stockholm`s existence, it has been the home of the poor and the working class. Not anymore! Today, the hipsters have well and truly transformed Södermalm into a trendy place to live, work and play. 🐱‍👓

    What`s a better winter activity than museum hopping? Not much, if you ask us. Let us introduce you to Bygdøy (also known as museum heaven), the peninsula in Oslo where you find a big collection of museums close to each other. Perfect! ❄️

    🌟 The giant Christmas tree at City Hall Square
    🌟 The beautifully decorated Tivoli
    🌟 And of course, the gorgeous facade of Hotel D`Angleterre

    Want more? We cover all of these spots and many more on our Copenhagen’s Christmas Spirit Tour. 🎄🎅🏻

    Our favourite time of the year is here! 🎅🏻🎄 If you are in Stockholm for this festive season, make sure you make it a tasty one 😋 and try:

    🌟 Freshly baked saffron buns, also called “lussekatter”, preferably filled with almond paste.

    🌟 Gingerbread cookies and having them with blue cheese, it’s an odd yet delicious combo, we promise!

    🌟 Freshly made candy cane, if you pop into @gamlastanspolka and find them baking the candy canes, they often let you try the mix. Soft candy cane should be a thing!
