Detalles del programa

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. As you cross the bridge to Lovön, a yellow building will appear ahead. You’re looking at the majestic Drottningholm Palace, 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, 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 times seen taking a walk or picnicking in the park.



Not impressed yet? Since 1981, Drottningholm Palace is 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 make our way out to the Baroque Garden and English Park for a stroll to the Chinese Pavilion like courtiers used to enjoy. A couple 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 it off your list.



Please note: The majority of this tour takes place in areas where you will have to walk on gravel or unpaved walkways.



Due to His Majesty the Kings’s official functions, Drottningholm Palace may be partially or fully closed. Drottningholm Palace is only open on weekends during the off-season.
