Overview

Step into a world of queens, kings, and conspiracies at Drottningholm Palace Park – home to Sweden’s royal family. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll explore the UNESCO World Heritage palace grounds with their magnificent gardens that span multiple eras and styles. From the grandeur of the Baroque pleasure garden to the Chinese Pavilion, each area has its own fascinating stories about the monarchs who shaped this royal retreat. The tour starts at Drottningholm Quay, where Queen Hedvig Eleonora first arrived in 1661. As you walk, you’ll discover how each generation transformed the park in its own way. Along the way you’ll come across sculptures that were once war trophies, and a dining table that vanished through the floor. The tour ends near the tennis courts, where King Gustav V once played, connecting Drottningholm’s rich past to more recent royal history.
