Drottningholm Palace, Sweden


Drottningholm Palace in Sweden is the residency of the royal family in Sweden. It's a short boat ride by ferry away from Stockholm. 

The day I went it was sunny and gorgeous in mid-August. The ferry price is very reasonable and the boat ride itself was a very beautiful experience. 

Drottningholm Palace is extraordinary, it is said to be the most well preserved European palace from the 1600s.

The furniture, sculptures, tapestries and paintings are exceptional. The size of the palace and the surrounding grounds is very expansive as well. 

There are tours available or you can explore on your own. I took a tour and I believe it was worth hearing about the history and significance of the various artifacts and artwork. 

Here are some photographs that I took in the area. 



It is a UNESCO world heritage site and there is an amazing wooden theater that is on the premises as well that can be explored by touring with a guide. I highly recommend this, it's an unforgettable afternoon!
