Drottningholm

Lauren Gurnee United States - 14-Nov-24

Drottningholm Palace is an accessible UNESCO site to visit, about an hour by public transport. If you make your way out, I would spend a good half day exploring the palace and grounds as they are quite extensive. When I visited in July of 2024, I booked a tour of the interior of the palace. Having explored many castles in London and Scotland, it wasn't the most impressive interior to a royal building that I've seen, but the history of Sweden is rich, and you get to experience that through the architecture, art, and stories that you hear. My one complaint was that the site to book tours on is difficult to navigate and did cause us some issues. However, we had a lovely tour guide who made the experience quite enjoyable.

Colonia del Sacramento

Lauren Gurnee United States - 23-Oct-24

Like many other people's experience, I would agree that at first glance Colonia does not have many things to do. However, for me personally, it was a much-needed respite after the hustle and bustle of Buenos Aires and Santiago. My family and I stayed at a quaint hotel for three nights near the city center, and we spent our days walking through the town and basking in the peacefulness and quiet that Colonia offers. 

The town is walkable, although the streets themselves can be a little precarious since they are very old and cobbled so if you have mobility issues take caution! We entertained ourselves by stopping by shops, visiting the paper museum, having high tea, and getting a guided South American bird tour throughout the town!
