Although it’s the home of the royal family, you can still visit certain sections of the Palace and the surrounding gardens. Drottningholm was designed in the late 17th century by Tessin Sr and Jr, the famous architect family who also built the Royal Palace in Gamla Stan. It was built for Queen Eleonora, the widow of King Karl X. Feel free to walk around in the building on your own, but the guided tours are included in the entrance fee and there are several tours in English every day in the summer. Other sites nearby that you shouldn’t miss while you are in the area are the Drottningholm Slottsteater (the Castle Theater) and the Kina Slott.
The theater is the oldest one in the world still in use and was untouched between 1792, when Gustav III died, and 1922. The Kina Slott was built as a birthday gift to Queen Lovisa Ulrika in 1753 and is at the far end of the garden. Both attractions also offer guided tours and charge separate admissions from the palace. a good idea if you plan to visit all is to buy the Stockholm Card before you go.
