Queens at Drottningholm
This autumn half-term, the queens of Drottningholm Palace take centre stage. Discover the palace at your own pace with picture hunts and fun self-guided activities during the holiday weekends of 24-25 October and 31 October-1 November.
Several queens have left their mark on Drottningholm Palace. One of them, Queen Hedvig Eleonora, built the palace. Another, Queen Lovisa Ulrika, brought the palace into the modern era. A third, our own Queen Silvia, still lives there.
