Last weekend we visited Drottningholm Palace in Stockholm. It was a fantastic autumn weekend, and really lovely to walk around the castle park in the November sun. We have seen the castle before, but also took the opportunity to see the theatre, which was really fun. Here are some tips for things to see and do at Drottningholm Palace. Have you been here? What is your favourite?

Located in the centre of Stockholm, Rörstrand Castle is perhaps one of Stockholm's least known (and most hidden!) castles. We live relatively close to the castle and almost every day we pass the large porcelain pile that reminds us of what was once the Rörstrand porcelain factory. One day we decided to explore the history of the castle and the factory. It was even more exciting than expected, not least because this turned out to be almost the last chance to see the inside of the castle.

This weekend we visited the Medieval Museum in Stockholm and experienced Stockholm's history underground. Although we've lived in Stockholm for decades, we've never made it here, until now. And we highly recommend this museum! There are remnants of the real medieval Stockholm and beautifully constructed medieval environments. What's more, visiting the museum is completely free of charge.

We tried sightseeing by amphibious bus in Stockholm! The amphibious buses have actually been running in Stockholm since autumn 2014, but it was only this weekend that we decided to try them out. And we do not regret this, a super fun experience!

The weather in May in Stockholm was incredible this year. You kept wondering when it would end ... but it didn't. As a Swede, you are in a bit of a state of shock. I was also very curious.
