Practical information: Oscarshall

Accessibility

The guided tour covers three floors. The Salon and Dining room on the ground floor are easily accessable, but due to historical considerations, there is no elevator in the main building. The first and second floors are therefore difficult to reach for the mobility-impaired.

Palace personnel will gladly assist anyone in need of help using the stairs. Folding chairs are available if needed.

Mobility-impaired persons can easily reach the terrace, from where there is a nice  view of the park. The park itself, however, is difficult due to many stairs.

Café

There is a café with a lunch menu on the premises. It is open during the opening hours of Oscarshall. You do not need a ticket to the palace to visit the café.

There is a cloakroom for visitors downstairs, beneath the Dining room. The cloakroom is unattended.

Gift shop

There is a gift shop that sells souvenirs, books and postcards. 

Mobile phones

Out of courtesy to the guides and other visitors, mobile phones must be turned off during the tour.
