Additional Information

Join our expert guide on a journey through the Drottningholm Palace Park, exploring a formal garden established in the final years of the 17th century, a casual English-style park inserted a hundred years following, and private 1760s plantations near the Chinese Pavilion. The distinctive styles of each arrangement reflect a blend of evolving principles and generations of enduring legacy. Your guide will also assist you in finding the perfect spots to take standout photos of the Park.

Despite these, the palace’s gardening history goes even further back, tracing to King Johan III’s era in the final years of the 16th century where a garden already existed where now lies the tennis courts to the theatre’s east side at Drottningholm.
