Inland ho!

Stockholm is great when you’re dressed up in a steamboat costume. Go east and there’s a magnificent archipelago waiting to be conquered. Go west however, and there’s an equally intriguing lake with similar archipelagic landscapes to enjoy.

Puffy outside Drottningholm PalaceI decided to go west. Hopped on one of the historic steamboats that usually anchor next to the city hall, close to where most of Stockholm the musical was recorded. While thinking of all of these fond memories of the musical I accidentally lost track on both time and bearing and soon found myself all the way out at Drottningholm, an island in the great lake of Mälaren - and home to the King and Queen of Sweden. Drottningholm Palace is a splendid creation, and also the finest preserved royal castle of the 17th century that can be found in Sweden. Influenced in large by the French palace of Versailles, this abode was built by architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder by commission of Queen Hedvig Eleonora. Today the palace is featured on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, and the amazing Palace Park is well worth a visit by itself. Guided tours of the palace are of course available.

Until we meet again,
Puffy
