Latest Mariefred hotel reviews
Dizzyhead Says: vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
sim1 Says: There are a few buildings in the village that are worth mentioning and one of these is the Callanderska Gården. It is not only a house with a history, it also is a little museum (opened only during the summer months). The original house was destroyed during the big fire of...
sim1 Says: If you follow the Kyrkogatan and turn left you will get to the main square of Mariefred, called Rådhustorget (Town Hall Square). And as the name already says it, this square is dominated by the Town Hall. The Town Hall was built on the initiative of King Gustav III in 1784....
Två Goda Ting: Chocolate (and coffee) Heaven!
sim1 Says: "Två Goda Ting" is a combination of a coffeehouse and a little shop specialized in coffee and tea. It is only a tiny place, but cleverly decorated, making it look much spacier then it is, and filled with all kinds of chocolate and coffee goodies you can dream of. Although...
Dizzyhead Says: When you visit Gripsholm´s castle. You have a very big parking space outside. Then you have to walk from the parking spot around 300 meters to enter the castle. But dont park your car at the bus parking spots, then you will get a penalty. I saw many cars which had done that...
Dizzyhead Says: Here you can buy all kind of things you need at home, for a breakfast or a barbeque, even for a picnic. They dont sell strong alcohol here at all. WHY? This is Sweden! The price it says on the thing you want to buy.
Mariefreds Handelsbod & Leksaker: Toys, souverniers and "old-style" groceries
bjorn.ason Says: A very sweet little shop selling classical toys, souverniers and "old-style" groceries. Perfect for finding a gift to bring back home. The toys are well-designed and high-quality, the groceries are very "swedish".
No pictures inside the castle.
Dizzyhead Says: I want to inform you that you arent allowed to take pictures inside the castle, Gripsholm castle. They dont let you take pictures because of security problems. I was told that at least, but I could have taken pictures anyway when they did not see. But as a good guy, i...
Gripsholms Slott - not overrated just frustrating!
Kiriel Says: Gripsholm is a very lovely castle in Mariefred. Built 450 years ago, it is in fine condition with a range of rooms to wander varying in period from the renaissance to the 18th century. There are hundreds of fabulous portrait paintings inside. It is interesting, colourful and...
Sunset and Sunrise in Mariefred
sim1 Says: The daylight hours (hours between sunrise and sunset) vary a lot between the winter and summer months. People may expect to see the midnight sun during the summer, because they are in Scandinavia. But this is not true for Mariefred, because you are not far enough north in...
Interesting places to see in the area
sim1 Says: • Anundshög: old burial mounds from Viking Age.• Birka: ruins from old capital city of Sweden.• Mariefred with Gripsholm Castle. A picturesque village and a beautiful castle. In the castle is also the Swedish National Portrait Collection.• Sigtuna: old city with lots of...
Interesting places to see in the area
sim1 Says: • Eskilstuna: not a real tourist destination, but it has some nice places. My favourite of all is the Fors Kyrka (Fors Church). Also worth visiting is the Klosterkyrka, sculpture 'Hand of God' by Miles, the historic area of "Rademachersmedjorna" and the museum...
Sjalen Says: OK, so the weather in this picture isn't that inspiring, but as I am typing this, we have had 30 degrees C for days, and a week of tropical nights (nigh temperature above 20 degrees). Lake M?laren is full of little hideaways for a swim - just ask at the tourist information...
Sjalen Says: Mariefred town itself is a great place to just stroll in when you have had time to see the castle. The tourist office is in the nice yellow court house building in the main square and can give you more tips, but Callanderska is one of the many nice wooden townhouses with...

Mariefred is a small town located on the west side of lake Mälaren. It's a good place to visit to get a view over a old style Swedish town. You can easy get to Mariefred on a daytrip from Stockholm....

Only a short drive south of Stockhlom, this is, in my opinion, Sweden's prettiest small town. Nestling on a quiet river and with the backdrop of a beautiful small caslte, this is my pick of...
