Attractions in Stockholm

The Swedish Royal Palace in Gamla Stan is one of Europe's largest palaces with 608 rooms. Still the official residence of the King, it's open for visits to the Royal Apartments, Treasury, and the Tre Kronor Museum.

Drottningholm Palace is the private residence of the Swedish royal family, a 17th-century UNESCO World Heritage palace on Lovö island. Its Baroque garden, Chinese Pavilion, and 1766 Court Theatre are remarkably well-preserved.

Storkyrkan (Great Church) is Stockholm's cathedral, a 13th-century church in Gamla Stan. Its most famous treasure is the 1489 sculpture of St. George and the Dragon—a masterwork of late-medieval art symbolising Sweden's fight for independence.

Stockholm City Hall (Stadshuset) is the city's most iconic building, its 106-metre tower topped by the Three Crowns symbol. The Blue Hall hosts the Nobel Banquet; the Golden Hall glitters with 18 million gold-leaf mosaic tiles.
