Ulriksdal Slott
The 17th-century royal pad Ulriksdal Slott was home to King Gustaf VI Adolf and his family until 1973. Several of their exquisite apartments, including the drawing room, dating from 1923, are open to the public. The stables house Queen Kristina’s magnificent 17th-century coronation carriage (call ahead for access), while the Orangery (noon-4pm Tue-Sun Jun-Aug) contains Swedish sculpture and Mediterranean flora. Head to T-Bergshamra metro stop, then take bus 503.

Drottningholms Slott
Drottningholms Slott is a wonderland of Renaissance-inspired palace, French-style gardens and the whimsical 18th-century Drottningholms Slottsteater. The world’s oldest theatre still in its original state, its summertime performances still use the vintage machinery. Equally unmissable is Kina Slott, a lavishly decorated and skilfully restored Chinese pavilion (1753).
