Sweden UNESCO Sites in Pictures

Sweden’s UNESCO heritage in photos: a royal palace and a medieval Hanseatic town. Drottningholm Palace stands on an island in Lake Mälaren, just outside Stockholm. It is the home of the Swedish royal family. Its gardens, 18th-century theatre and Chinese Pavilion are part of the World Heritage Site. On the island of Gotland, Visby was a busy Hanseatic port in the Middle Ages. A stone wall about 3.4 km long still surrounds its old town, church ruins and rose-covered houses. All photos come from sites we have visited and described. Open any place to see it on the map, check the weather and plan how to get there.
