With so much water throughout Stockholm, you can use it to your advantage.

Boat trips

Arrive like royalty with one of these boat trips to Drottningholm from the centre of Stockholm.

Discover Stockholm from the water! Take a trip aboard a beautiful early 20th century vessel, crossing the spectacular Lake Mälaren, to the World Heritage site at Drottningholm.

On arrival, you will see the palace from the sea - a magnificent view. As part of the boat trip, you will already have your entrance tickets and can then visit both Drottningholm Palace and the Chinese Pavilion straight away.

The trip to Drottningholm will be aboard the historic S/S Drottningholm, M/S Angantyr or M/S Prins Carl Philip, and is an experience in itself.

All departures on the hour have a restaurant on board serving Swedish lunch and dinner. On other departures, there is a cafeteria.

The boat trip takes about an hour each way, and can be booked here.
