Audio Guide of Carl Larsson House

The house is open year-round, but opening hours vary by season (generally from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in summer). It is important to know that the interior can only be visited on a guided tour, so I strongly recommend checking the exact times and booking on the official website before you go.

Adult tickets are around SEK 260 (approx. €23) in high season, while children and young people up to age 16 usually enter free or at a reduced price. Tickets sell out quickly in summer, so make sure to buy them in advance directly through the booking platform.

The required guided tour of the inside of the house lasts approximately 45–50 minutes. However, to enjoy the gardens, visit the design shop, and have something at the café, I suggest planning at least 2 hours in total.

Lilla Hyttnäs is not just a house; it is an icon of the Swedish way of life and the place where Carl and Karin Larsson revolutionized interior design worldwide. Here you will see how art and family life merged to create the famous bright and colorful 'Larsson style,' which contrasted with the darker design of their time.

Without a doubt, the summer months (June to August) are ideal for seeing the garden in all its splendor, just as it appears in Carl’s watercolors. However, if you are looking for a magical and cozy atmosphere, the Christmas season offers special visits with traditional Swedish decorations.

Because it is an old historic house with steps and high thresholds, wheelchair access to the interior is limited. However, the garden and the shop are accessible, and they usually offer an alternative digital tour on tablets for those who cannot climb the stairs.

Right next door you will find Sundborn Church, decorated by Carl Larsson himself, as well as the 'Portrait of the Masters.' In addition, you are very close to the historic Falun Mine in Falun, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-see stop in the region: Falun Mine.

Keep in mind that photography is prohibited inside the house in order to protect the artworks and the flow of the visit. Take the opportunity to disconnect and immerse yourself in the visual details, and save your photos for the beautiful exterior and the garden by the river.
