Audio Guide of Tullgarn Palace

The palace offers guided tours from May to September, generally on Saturdays and Sundays at 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM; check the current schedule on the official website. It is located 10 km from Trosa, accessible by car via Road 219 or by public transport from Stockholm (train to Södertälje and bus).

Adult admission costs around 150 SEK, children up to age 11 enter free, and there are discounts for students and people over 65. Buy tickets online or at the ticket office; check updated prices on the official Kungliga Slott website.

A guided tour lasts about 45-60 minutes, but with the gardens and park, plan for 2-3 hours in total. It is ideal for a relaxed morning or afternoon without rushing.

Built in 1727 as a Baroque palace, it became the summer residence of kings such as Gustav V and Gustaf VI Adolf, who modernized it in the Neoclassical style. It represents Swedish royal history in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with interiors preserved as the monarchs left them.

Summer (June-August) is ideal thanks to the good weather and a wider range of guided tour times. Avoid midday in July for fewer crowds; early mornings offer perfect light for photos in the gardens.

There is partial accessibility: ramps at the main entrance and an elevator in parts of the palace, but some historic areas have stairs. Contact +46 8 402 62 00 in advance or check details on the official website for assistance.

In Trosa, 10 minutes away, explore the charming old town with canals and shops. Nearby is the Södermanland archipelago for boat trips or the Trosa nature reserve for hiking; ideal for a full day out.

Wear comfortable shoes for walking through the extensive gardens, book guided tours in advance during high season, and download an audio guide app if you prefer flexibility. Eat at the palace café or have a picnic in the park for an authentic experience.
