Gripsholm Castle, Mariefred

Nice Swedish castle in a cute quaint town. Takes ~3hrs to see everything depending on how thorough and detailed in your observation you want to be. This castle has a huge portrait and painting collection, which they actively add to with current royalty and political figures. The theatre inside is a must see, has a quiet otherworldly vibe. Lots of couples seem to come here for wedding photos outside.

Beautiful castle with an awesome painting collection. The rooms are very well preserved. It feels like traveling back in time, getting lost in the numerous rooms. Bring some time when visiting, there is lots to see. The tour (one English tour a day) gives a great overview and is amazing value for money (30sek for 1h and a great guide). But you can spend lots of time exploring the 3 different floors. One of the best castles I have been in as it really transports you back in time. The theater is stunning. The gardens are beautiful as well but don’t need as much time as the castle.

Beautiful castle and worth the trip. Guided tours or stroll though at your own pace. Pay for the booklet guide if you go on your own. Lots of good info about each room.

One of the best well-preserved castles I've visited in Sweden. It's worth spending your weekend winding through each room packed with historical ornaments. And the view outside is fantastic!

Beautiful castle. Great view of Mariefred too. A bit expensive (140kr for adults and 70Kr for kids) but a great piece of history
