Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde

Visiting Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde was an absolute highlight of my time in Stockholm. The museum perfectly blends art, history, and nature in a way that feels both inspiring and deeply calming. Housed in the former residence of Prince Eugen, the interiors give a warm, elegant sense of the prince’s life and artistic passion, while the collections showcase a beautiful balance of Swedish and international works. One of the things that makes Waldemarsudde so special is its setting on Djurgården — the gardens are immaculately kept, with sculptures thoughtfully placed among flowers and trees, all overlooking the water. It’s the kind of place where you don’t just view art, you experience it in harmony with nature. I especially loved walking through the park before stepping inside to enjoy the exhibitions. The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable, and the entire atmosphere encouraged slow discovery rather than rushing through. Whether you’re a seasoned art lover or just someone who enjoys beautiful surroundings with cultural depth, Waldemarsudde is a must-visit. It’s not just a museum — it feels like stepping into a piece of living history, infused with creativity and serenity.

A very beautiful place. There are lots of flowers around the house and a wonderful view of the bay. We really enjoyed the art exhibition.

My friend recommended this place and she was right! I walked from Skansen for 15min to reach there but it's worth the walk. Prince Eugen's house turned into a gallery. The interior decoration was great. In the separate building, showed the temporary gallery, it was Nordic picture book illustrations at that time. I enjoyed that part, too.

Very nice home of Prince Eugene. Quite a collection of paintings. One of the best small museums .A must!

Very nice museums. You can find some international impressionist artists there and also the works of this Prince and it's very nice to see the history of the place.

One of the finest minor museums in Stockholm. The whole atmosphere of Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde makes visitors feel welcome. All the beautifully furnished rooms of the museum are decorated with elegant flower bouqets. You feel the unseen presents of the host everywhere

A hidden gem and exquisite gallery situated in a very beautiful house. Worth a visit

Excellent exhibit of original illustrations to famous children's books. Absolutely incredible

I won't let you wait for it. This is a favorite museum of mine. Marvelously situated by the water on the island of Djurgården, central Stockholm. This time presenting the Swedish painter Sigrid Hjerte'n. An intelligent explosion in color and form covering her career and life. Every single work has an influence on me, as I move from one piece to another. Finally ending my visit with the part of the building, the old grand villa of the prince, where we find a few of the most valuable pieces of art in the history of Swedish painting. Then leaving this great museum. A short walk, entering the tram back home.

The guide book had suggested that there were some ornamental gardens and sculptures to be found on the pathway back towards the city from Biskopsvagen, but I was not prepared for quite how pretty a spot this turned out to be. The walks and trails are on several levels, so you need to keep an eye out to make sure which way you're going. When or if you see a "no cycling" sign, that means there'll be a dead end coming up, so keep that in mind. I wasn't inclined to visit the house itself, particularly as I was on a rental bike with no lock, but the outside areas presented more than enough for the eye to wallow in. There are some splendid sculptures in the gardens, as well as some amazing views across to Sodermalm and the channel as ocean liners came and went. It would have been very easy to spend at least an hour or more exploring this section of Djurgarden, but 30-45 minutes here is time very well spent too. A feast for the senses.
