Kings at Drottningholm

This year marks King Carl XVI Gustaf's 50th jubilee, and our theme for the autumn holidays is 'Kings at Drottningholm'. In the rooms of the palace there will be challenging image hunts and trivia linked to kings.

Kings have stayed at Drottningholm Palace since the 17th century. During this year's autumn holiday, you can discover more about kings including King Karl XI, King Gustav III and King Carl XVI Gustaf.

Visit the World Heritage Site of Drottningholm and find out more about both our current king and previous kings who slept, played, hunted, carved and built here.

Royal family tours (in Swedish only)

Join us on a tour for the whole family, on which you can learn more about what the current king and previous Swedish kings do and have done at the palace. Tour tickets must be purchased.

Trivia in the state rooms

During the autumn holidays there will be extra signs in the palace's rooms, with trivia and facts on the theme of kings. Included in the entry ticket.

Independent image hunt

You can also explore the palace by yourself, with free self-guided tours during opening hours. Alternatively, you can combine your visit with our activity trails for children and adults. Maps for image hunts on various themes are available from the ticket office. Included in the entry ticket.
