Stockholm Royal Sightseeing Tour

Stockholm, Sweden

Explore Sweden's royal family past and present on this sightseeing tour of Stockholm. Visit typical Swedish farms and churches and see where the royal family live today in the UNESCO World Heritage listed Drottningholm Palace.

Your first stop is the beautiful park at Ulriksdals Palace on the banks of Lake Edsviken in Solna just outside Stockholm. The park is part of Ekoparken, the first National City Park in the world.

You will also visit  the intriguing Haga Park where you will see a brightly colored copper tent atop the hill, Gustav III's pavilion and a charming butterfly house.

Your tour continues to Lovos church dating back to the 11th-century. It was here that five runestones were found outside the church around 1050 AD.

The last stop on your tour is UNESCO World Heritage listed Drottningholm Palace, home to the current Swedish royal family. This renaissance-style palace was built around the same time as Versailles and has beautiful geometric, baroque style gardens. Drottningholm, meaning Queen's islet, is located on the island of Lovon.

We were in a bus with only five people so it was a very personal and friendly experience. The driver was very well-informed and pleased to answer questions about the palaces we visited. This was a great way to see several sights outside of Stockholm, which might be hard to get to otherwise.

This is a good tour if you run out of tours to do the town (I'd recommend focusing on Stockholm first before you sign up for this). That being said, I enjoyed seeing the castles and surrounding countryside. Our guide was charming and good company for an afternoon.

Excellent tour, Beautiful scenery especially the royal palaces gardens outside of the city. Guide was excellent. The tour departed even we were just 3 people on it.

There were only three of us on this tour in mid September, and the tour guide was personable and well informed. He also picked me up at the Vasa Museum instead of my hotel, which was appreciated. We expected to see the inside of the palace on Gamla Stan, but it seemed that we ran out of time, which was disappointing. The country palaces are spectacular!
