Guided tours and package for groups
Special guided tours
We offer special guided tours on a particular theme or tours to view a particular category of artefacts, such as textiles, books, weapons and armour, tools or furniture. Would you like to hear about the strange fates of the Wrangel, von Haugwitz, Brahe or Königsmarck families or have a special tour on the theme of the castle’s animals? Please contact us if you have any questions or special requests or ideas for a visit to the castle and we can plan it with you!
Guided tours in other languages
Guided tours are available in Swedish and English. Guided tours in other languages can occasionally be arranged by special agreement. If you would like a tour in another language, there is always the possibility for someone in your group to act as an interpreter.
Prices
- Weekdays daytime: 1,200 SEK + 140 SEK/person (up to 15 people)
- Evenings and weekends: 2,200 SEK + 140 SEK/person (up to 15 people)
Number of participants
The guided tours take 15 participants in each group. Should you be more than that we split the group in two or more groups of up to 15, and in most cases they will be guided through the house simultaneously.
Practical information
Please make sure to arrive well in time for your booked tour. We have a time slot set aside for you, and late arrival will mean a shorter tour. The guide will meet you at the castle doors facing the lawn a few minutes before the appointed starting time.
Dress warmly
Remember that the castle does not have lighting or heating. In the winter it is dark and cold. We recommend that you dress warmly.
Accessibility
There is a ramp at the ground floor entrance giving access to the shop, exhibition and café. There are no ramps or lifts in other parts of the castle. There are many staircases, and during the tour we will visit all four floors of the castle.
If you have special needs and cannot get around the museum, we offer a visit to the exhibition Dreams of Skokloster on the castle’s ground floor. The exhibition displays the castle’s best-known artefacts from four centuries.
If you have difficulty standing throughout the tour, you can borrow a folding chair at the entrance. It is possible to bring a wheeled walker or other mobility aid into the castle, but you must be able to carry your mobility aids yourself.
Companions and guide dogs
Companions are welcome to visit the castle free of charge. Guide dogs are also welcome.
Parking
Cars and buses should be parked in the major car park near the church and former petrol station. From the car park to the castle entrance there is a 300 metre walk on a gravel path. There are two disabled parking spaces next to the castle.

Pushchairs or prams are not allowed in the museum, but you can leave them in the designated space at the entrance.

Castle package with visit to Salsta Manor
Skokloster Castle and Salsta have shared a common history since the mid-18th century. Since 1756, Skokloster has held the Bielke armoury and Carl Gustaf Bielkes’ library, which at one time was Sweden’s largest private library. There is a large amount of art here that was originally at Salsta - including portraits of Nils Bielke’s 12 horses.
To explain the common history of both castles, we offer the chance to see them both on the same excursion.
