Description
Travel back to Sweden’s age of kings on this full-day private castle tour led by an expert historian. Depart Stockholm for Drottningholm Palace, a UNESCO-listed royal residence and the current home of the Swedish monarchs. Explore its richly decorated salons, royal chapel, and sculpted gardens along the lake.
Next, journey through scenic countryside to Sigtuna, Sweden’s oldest town, for lunch and a short stroll among its medieval streets. Continue to Wenngarn Castle, where art, politics, and faith converged in the life of nobleman Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie — whose baroque chapel is among the best preserved in northern Europe.
Your final stop is the grand Skokloster Castle, an architectural masterpiece of the 17th century. Inside, wander among priceless furnishings, libraries, and artefacts untouched for over 300 years — a true time capsule of Sweden’s imperial power. With private transport and expert storytelling, this tour reveals Sweden’s royal heritage in comfort and depth.
