Itinerary
1
Drottningholm Palace
Marvel at this magnificent Baroque palace, the permanent home of Sweden's royal family and one of the finest royal residences in all of Europe. Stroll through its grand ceremonial rooms and sweeping formal gardens, where centuries of queens and kings have left their mark on every carefully designed vista.
2
The Chinese Pavilion
Explore this extraordinary Rococo pavilion, built as a royal birthday surprise in 1753 and one of the finest examples of European chinoiserie architecture in the world. Marvel at its elaborately decorated interiors and discover the secluded garden opposite, a hidden retreat where Swedish royalty once escaped the formalities of court life.
3
Drottningholms Slottsteater
Pass before the oldest working theatre in the world, a perfectly preserved 18th-century gem that was rediscovered after years of neglect and near-oblivion. Marvel at its remarkable original stage machinery and painted backdrops, which have survived fire, abandonment, and the passage of nearly three centuries intact.
4
Karamellan Café & Restaurang vid Drottningholm
Enjoy a well-earned rest at this charming café, beautifully situated within the palace grounds and offering a taste of Swedish hospitality in a royal setting. Stroll through its inviting surroundings and savour the rare pleasure of taking refreshment in one of Scandinavia's most historically rich landscapes.
