Enchanting Castles & Botanical Garden

This is the biggest city in Sweden and is made up of 14 islands. The water surrounds this area, making it a magical place where you can take a boat ride just about anywhere here. This is known as one of Europe's most beautiful capitals and best-preserved medieval city.

This has been known as one of the great Baroque castles of Europe and Carl Gustaf Wrangel built it between 1654 and 1676. Once we arrived at this castle, it felt like we had just jumped into a fair tale. I imagined a knight in shiny armor galavanting on his stead on the bright green lawn, while up in one of the towers, a wizard brewed some magical potions for the next ruler.
Back to reality, when you visit this lovely place, you can go in for free. But if you want to do a tour, that's when you have to pay. Even when this castle is closed is worth a visit just for the architecture. Venture around the outskirts and take in the fairy tale like place in all its splendor.

Wander through the museum for free or enjoy walking the old halls of the 16th century castle. In 1702, the castle had turned into a ruin from a blazing fire that had overtaken it. It took many years to finally have it restored and in 1932, it was completed into the now festive place that's great to visit.
