16 Things You Have To Do In Stockholm, Sweden; Yaya; Hand Luggage Only
Sweden – Royal Domain of Drottningholm
When it comes to European cities to visit, it probably comes as no surprise that Stockholm is ranked rather highly on the list.
Alas, like most Scandinavian cities, it isn’t the cheapest to visit and so it tends to get overlooked for more Southern European cities (like Lisbon, Paris, Madrid… etc – I could go on and on here but you get my drift).
Thing is though, Stockholm is definitely worth adding to your list of cities to visit, especially so seeing as there are new airline routes constantly being added which opens up access to this amazing city like never before.
The Swedes are also the Kings and Queens of work-life balance and it’s never more apparent than in the city of Stockholm, which makes it the perfect place for a long weekend jaunt.
Visiting Drottningholm Palace with kids: Is it a good idea?; Dan Miller; Points with a Crew
Sweden – Royal Domain of Drottningholm
As part of my trip to Stockholm Sweden with my 8 year old son, we took a morning to visit Drottningholm Palace. Drottningholm Palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and since I track those (of course!), it seemed like a perfect thing to do with our time in Stockholm. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect at Drottningholm Palace, and whether Drottningholm Palace with kids would be a good idea.
How to get to Drottningholm Palace
We used our Stockholm Pass for the ferry ride to Drottningholm as well as entrance into the Drottningholm Palace. A ferry ticket as well as entrance to the palace itself and the Chinese Theater.

Sweden – Royal Domain of Drottningholm
Stockholm, the capital and largest city of Sweden, offers a wealth of tourist activities.
Stockholm is the Swedish capital and covers an area of 73 square miles spread across 14 islands. It is one of the most visited cities in Scandinavia partly due to its world-class infrastructure and accommodation within the city. However, it is the city’s numerous historical and modern attractions which truly leave visitors impressed.

Sweden – Royal Domain of Drottningholm
Drottningholm Palace may not be the most famous royal residence in the world, but it certainly is storied. Not only is the palace, which sits in a suburb of Stockholm and serves as a private residence for the Swedish royal family, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it also plays host to one of the most famed opera festivals in the world. But it’s not architecture or history that’s put the castle in the spotlight: The Local reports that Sweden’s Queen Silvia insists the castle and its grounds are haunted.
“There’s a lot of history here. There are also little friends…the ghosts,” the queen said in a documentary that aired on Thursday. “They’re all very friendly, but you sometimes feel like you aren’t alone.”

A palace used by Sweden’s royal family is haunted, according to Queen Silvia.
But the queen says there is nothing to be afraid of as the phantoms at their private residence Drottningholm Palace are “pretty friendly”.
Silvia told a TV documentary that “there are ghosts, many” and says, “you feel you get a little excited” when talking about them.
She added: “You sometimes feel that you’re not completely alone. It’s really exciting but you don’t get scared.”
The palace, originally built in the 16th century, is located near Stockholm and is the permanent residence of Queen Silvia and her husband King Carl XVI Gustaf.
The palace is listed on the UNESCO world heritage list and has been the royal family’s residence since 1981.
