Stockholm in Sweden is like many places in Europe. It has fabulous architecture, great food, and a whole lot of history waiting to be uncovered. What makes it different is that it’s an archipelagic city. That means it’s made of small islands instead of just one large land mass.

Here are some family-friendly tours in Stockholm that we recommend.

Family-Friendly Tours in Stockholm in Sweden

Drottningholm Palace Tour

One of the first things you have to do is “pay a courtesy visit” to the Swedish Royal Family’s private residence, Drottningholm Palace. Drottningholm Palace forecourt has a beautiful overlooking view of Lake Malar. This view sets it apart from other European palaces, which you will mostly find inland. This well-preserved Swedish architectural wonder was built in the 1600s and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site three centuries later. The Chinese Pavilion in Drottningholm is a must-see, especially since it was gift from King Adolf Fredrik to his Queen, Lovisa Ulrika.

• Old Town Gamla Stan, a picturesque town with buildings bursting in color;

Birka City Guided Tour

A trip to Sweden would not be complete without a Viking-related excursion. This tour takes you to Birka, Sweden’s very first city and home to Europe’s legendary Vikings.

Birka is actually not in Stockholm, but a few hours boat ride away. The trip is really worth it since it allows you to explore Viking culture and history in a live museum and village. UNESCO recognizes Birka City as a Heritage Site because of its historical and cultural significance. Cap your tour off with lunch before heading back to your hotel.

Classic Tour to Vaxholm

Go back in time by going on a cruise ship to Vaxholm, the capital of Stockholm’s archipelago. Interestingly, the town looks very quaint and simple, unlike other city centres full of towering skyscrapers. Vaxholm Fort, wooden houses and local cafes and shops are some of the town’s highlights. Vaxholm is also a great place to enjoy nature from Stockholm’s banks.
