What you will see and do

Let's pick out the most fabulous, romantic and picturesque castles and palaces in Sweden and visit them virtually.

In Sweden, you probably won't find all those fairy-tale castles that are so typical for Disney-films. But here, you'll find places filled with history, ghosts and pastry instead. Let's talk about the legends, compare different architectural styles and fashion of various epochs. Let's travel around the whole Sweden to understand how the medieval castles turned into modern palaces. We'll see where the first Swedish tennis court appeared, where the fork was introduced to Sweden and where the best known Swedish lion, owning his own Facebook page, can be found. Also, you'll hear why one of the Swedish noble families has a beheaded troll as its symbol, and what appeared to be one of the greatest Swedish royal scandals back in the 16th century.

We'll make a list over the palaces with the most stunning interiors, and you'll find your way to the cake palace and a place for spending a night at - the same place where Elizabeth Taylor and Greta Garbo used to be frequent guests.

Prepare a pen and paper in case you'll need to write down the names of the places for your next trip to Sweden!
