This was a nice place to take a half day trip out of the city. I recommend taking the boat ride there, it lasts about an hour and takes you through the archipelago. The grounds are pretty and nice to walk around in. The palace itself is nice. The best part of my visit was the court theater, one of... More

This palace is the official royal family residence. That's why it is accessible only on the outside. The garden of the palace is ok to walk around.

We went to the Drottningholm Palace in Stockholm. The boat ride is very scenic. The palace is very old and the gardens are unbelievable. The pagoda behind the palace is historic and has all kinds of artifacts to view.

We did not go inside and not sure if we are allowed as guards were on site but it was a magnificent place to visit. Take the TunnelBana (Metro) to Brommaplan. Then take the 5-10 min bus (175, 176, 301-323) to Drotningholm. It is marked very clearly on the Station. The park is HUGE. Quite a bit of the park... More

The Drottningholm Castle park is a fantastic Place to go for leisure time. Bring some pick-nic , take the boat from outside the city hall and enjoy this vast park.

Wow - I walked the entire palace, it is huge and filled with treasures including a silver throne! There are four museums inside as well where you can see the Crown Jewels of Sweden from the 1600th century on. Don't be fooled and miss out.
