Yesterday we visited Drottningholm in Stockholm. A bit embarrassing that neither of us had visited before, but it finally gave me a new point in the competition, after a looong year of revisiting world heritages...In comparison with other similar world heritage palaces (Versailles, Schloss Schönbrunn, Sans-Souci) Drottningholm scores high on surrounding and environment. The palace is beautifully located, and you could easily spend more than a few summer days lazily relaxing in the parks... That's pretty much what we did, after attempting a guided tour of the palace with a hungry, tired and hot two-year-old. Not appreciated by all. We actually left the tour half-way through, quickly walked through what was left of the beautiful rooms and proceeded to have cookies on the stairs outside. But the park was full of children, no guards yelled at you for having a pick-nick on the lawn, and Ester loved running through the labyrints and looking at the swans and geese in the lake. So it's definitely a good world heritage to visit with children!
