4. Drottiningholm Palace

Drottiningholm Palace view

An alternative yet extravagant viewpoint can be found by visiting Drottiningholm Palace! It’s slightly less than a 20 min drive from the centre of Stockholm but totally worth absorbing what is a majestic sight.

Drottiningholm Palace has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991 and certainly brings something new and majestic to your viewpoints tour.

There’s also clearly a lot to see but for us it’s about catching the moment of the Palace facade viewpoint which brings a real sense of splendour with the greenery at the front.

You’ll get to explore the distinct Baroque architecture, Palace apartments and visit the wonderful Chinese pavilion (also known as Kina Slott) decorated in the finest Rococo interiors.

So if a lavish exploration of the Palace, theatre and park suit you this option is really a no brainer to soak up that facade viewpoint.

5. Gondolen

One of the best Stockholm viewpoints can be found in Slussen where access to the Gondolen viewing platform gives you a unique perspective of the city. At almost 11 stories high this stunning view includes Gamla Stan, Riddarholmen and Kungsholmen really adding something quite special!

The alternative is to book a table at the recently refurbished yet very stylish Gondolen restaurant where the outside dining terrace on your left gives you an incredible viewpoint of the city. This is perfect for those who like fine dining dinner, drinks and with a view to truly match.
