Drottningholm Gardens Take a walk in the wonderful gardens that belongs to the Palace. The Baroque parterre garden, closest to the palace, has an intricate embroidery design originally inspired by Vaux-le Vicomte. Walking further into the park, you are greeted by a water parterre with ten pools and cascades. Beyond the cascades, there are four hedge groves surrounded by pine hedges. The garden would later receive an outer frame with four linden tree-lined avenues. A lot of the sculptures in the park are war booty, taken to Stockholm from Prague and Denmark, and produced by the sculptor Adriaen de Vries.
After your walk around Drottningholm, let us introduce a Swedish "fika" (coffee/tea with a pastry) in the Palace garden coffee house with a great view over the Mälaren lake.
