6 Castles in Stockholm That You Shouldn't Miss

January 27, 2022 Rosalyn Ihle

The capital city of Sweden combines modern attractions with historic charm. Kick off your stay with visits to Stockholm’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Royal Palace Drottningholm (the residence of the royal family) and the magical Skogskyrkogården, or Woodland Cemetery. Stroll the cobblestone streets of Old Town and over the picturesque bridges that span the city’s canals. The 19th-century Skansen was the world’s first open-air museum and is still a premier place to learn about Swedish history.

The changing of the guard ceremony has been a daily tradition since 1523.

We spent several hours going through the treasury and the royal appartments. Considering the royals still live and entertain within these walls is amazing. The sections that are open to the public, with their elaborate furnishings from bygone eras are truely very elaborate.
