A beautiful building in a nice garden. Many wellknown beautiful paintings and sculptures. Nice view.

I have a soft spot for this place. From Downtown just outside Kulturehuset, there is an aboveground train that is new which takes you directly to Waldemarsudde. So it is easy access for visitors. Once there there is a lovely garden and waterfront you can enjoy. The entrance has a museum of exhibits that is also connected to the former home of Prince Eugene. A perceptive eye, will notice that the prince had a bustling artistry in the impressionistic style with a penchant for the male form. This is a charming home and although lovely, is not pretentious in scale or decor. It is special and gives one an insight of being royal, gay, and privileged in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. Outside are some lovely sculptures, some quite famous, and closeby is a windmill that is charming. A couple minutes away is Rosendahl which has outside cafes and an abundance of flowers that one can pick and pay for, which makes for a nice coupling on an outing before returning to the bustling Stockholm center.

Prins Eugen was an artist and supporter of the arts. His summer "cottage" (read: small palace) has been made into a museum where a variety of art exhibits appear. The place is accessible by streetcar trolley that starts at Sergels Torg. From the streetcar stop it's about a km walk to the house along a beautiful waterfront. There is food and drink along the way if you need a break but it's better to have lunch at the museum itself in the cramped but very pleasant restaurant, either before or after your visit to the art. Although it's an extra fee, you really should tour the house. You can get a better idea of what the life of a royal patron of the arts was like from the library and sitting room here than any other place in Sweden or even in Europe. Walk outside the the house and around to the gazebo for the most lovely view of the water and you will appreciate why this place was chosen by the prince for his respite from stuffy Stockholm. The museum is osmetimes closed without warning so call ahead to assure yourself that it will be open.

Prins Eugen was a fabulous collector and a fine artist in his own right. There are many beautiful sculptures, a fine garden and a linseed oil windmill on the property which is waterside on Djurrsgarden and has grand views.

Tram number 7 from Sergels Torg in the city center takes you in about 15 minutes to Djurgården (passing among other the Vasa Museum and Skansen) and ends a five minute walk from this beautiful site. It has a series of buildings, including the home of the late Swedish Prince Eugen, his atelier and an exhibition building with his collection of paintings. At our visit there was an interesting special exhibition about Swedish painters' influence from Matisse.

Visiting Stockholm it is often a great idea to visit this museum. This time we saw a great exhibition about the nordic artists inspired by Matisse. A wonderful exhibition of great art, bringing forward not just the more famous names, but also great painters and artists that have been more or less forgotten. If it is still on, go and see it, it is very instructive and you will se a lot of good art. Normally the exhibits in this museum is of great quality and the location + the building are just excellent. We can also recommend the cafe which serves great food in a beautiful setting as well as good sweets.

When I visited, there was a substantial Matisse exhibition going on in the gallery section and it seemed to be very popular. Art, unfortunately, is not my thing, so I quicky went into the house itself.Eugen kept the first floor rooms as show rooms for his guests, while he lived upstairs. The downstairs is kept just as it would have been, with a stunning simple elegance and an abundance of fresh pot plants artisitcally arranged on tables and windowsills.I nearly didn't visit this place as it looks far on the map, but it was actually so fast and easy to get to on tram 7 and then next to no walk at all up the path to the house. I'm very glad I did.I had the Stockholm card so I didn't have to worry about the entrance fee. Perhaps 130 Kr is a bit steep...

The house - the home of Prins Eugen and the surroundings are beautiful. The art exhibitions are mostly very interesting and of high quality. Another aspect make more than worth to visit are the flower arrangement they - always fresh and new. The food in the kitchen is mostly nice.

liked the collection of art in the personal setting of his home. Unfortunately didn't get to see garden as it was almost dark by the time I got there. Loved the tea in the old kitchen.

We have Always loved Waldemarsudde. It is a house, once a home to a Swedish Prince, who was also an artist. The house is quite impressive, designed by the architect Ferdinand Boberg. Around the house there is a park, containing sculptures (by Rodin and others) and a mill as well as Ektorpet, a place to have coffee, hot chocolate, lunch or wafles. The views from the park and from some of the rooms in the house over Stockholm are spectacular. The Prince decided what decorations and flowers to have in each of the rooms in his will. Lower floor is intact, with carpets, furniture, books and decorations as in the old days. The paintings in this part are also interesting, while the exhibitions are on floor 2 and 3 of the building, and in a separate gallery, connected underground with the building.

Beautiful part of Djurgården with the late prince's house and garden. Very nice to walk through along the water. The art gallery is quite small but still worth visiting.

Waldermarsudde has been one of my favorite goals for walks for many years. The view over the Stockholm harbor is spectacular, the gardens are beautiful, and the buildings are all worth a visit - especially the museum. An oasis close to the city, both for those taking a bus or walking the many trails.

Tram #7 from Nybornplan takes you there, save your feet for the return trip :)But the view is must better from the ferry (line 80, covered by the SL card)
