Drottningholm Palace is where the current Royal Swedish family lives when they are in residence. It’s about a 15-20 min drive or a 50 min boat ride to the palace. It is pretty quick to walkthrough...

The place itself is not that big. But the gardens surrounding it are huge. Not only are the gardens big but they are beautiful as well. The way that they decorate the trees is amazing. And very well maintained. There are fountains and waterfalls that are just so pretty. If you really wanted to see all of it you would need at the very least a few hours. There is a tiny hedge maze perfect for playing hide and seek.

Great spot to walk around and sight see. Touring the theatre took less than 30 minutes but was worth it! It's not the biggest but the history and design is beautiful. The cafe is also really nice. Make sure you pay the parking fee in the lot. They're constantly scanning plates to check.
