Castles & palaces
Ulriksdal Palace
Ulriksdal Palace
Located on the shores of Lake Edsviken within the Royal National City Park, this 17th-century estate is a residence of the Swedish royal family. Visitors go here to view the palace architecture, the surrounding parkland, and the royal gardens.
Getting There
The palace is situated approximately 6 km north of Stockholm city centre. It is accessible via local public transport, typically involving a combination of commuter trains or buses. The journey generally takes between 20 and 40 minutes depending on the departure point and traffic.
Time Allocation
Allow approximately 2 to 3 hours to explore the palace grounds and the immediate garden areas. This provides sufficient time for a walk around the estate without rushing.
When to Visit
The estate is most accessible during the spring and summer months when the gardens are in bloom and the outdoor areas are fully open. To avoid the largest groups of visitors, arrive early in the morning. It does not typically experience the same level of crowding as the central city museums, though weekends are busier than weekdays.
