Royal Apartments At The Palace

The Royal Palace (Kungliga Slottet) is difficult to missy if you lot are visiting Stockholm... located on the north-east corner of Gamla Stan, this palace genuinely has 1 to a greater extent than room than Buckingham Palace (in other words, quite large). The palace was built inwards the early on to mid 1700's on the site of the master copy castle, Tre Kronor, which was destroyed inwards a burn inwards 1697. It is the mind majestic palace inwards Sweden too where the offices of the manlike mortal monarch too other majestic solid unit of measurement members are located, though their official residence is at Drottningholm Palace.

Just nigh every tourist that comes to Stockholm visits the palace at some betoken during their trip... whether they only stimulate got a walk closed to too admire the facade, encounter the changing of the guard or take in 1 of the many museums within the palace (Royal Armoury, The Treasury, Tre Kronor, Museum of Antiquities). Another selection is to take in the Royal Apartments, which is component subdivision of the palace interior, including the Guest Apartments, Hall of State, banquet hall equally good equally exhibition on the Swedish Orders of Chivalry.

Embarrassing equally it is to admit, it had been decades since I end visited the Apartments... too thus I took an afternoon end calendar week too rectified this. The entrance fee is 150 SEK for adults (75 SEK for children betwixt vii too xviii years) too it also includes entrance to the Treasury, Tre Kronor Museum too the Gustav III Museum of Antiquities. Don't worry... the ticket is skillful for vii days, too thus you lot don't stimulate got to take in all of the museums on the same day! Also included inwards the entrance fee are the guided tours of the Apartments too Treasury. Click here for the times for the guided tours this summertime (May 15th to Sep 15th). I wandered through the Apartments on my ain without guide. It is a rattling interesting window on Swedish history from the 1700's to today equally good equally the blueprint too fashion of the times. I also liked the room that contained the heraldic crests of the dissimilar kings & queens of Europe too Asia (all recipients of the Swedish Order of the Seraphim).

It is rattling tardily to teach to the Royal Palace from the Rival Hotel... only a fifteen infinitesimal or too thus walk through Gamla Stan (old town). Photography is non allowed inwards the Apartments, too thus the pictures taken past times me inwards this spider web log ship service (above) are from the stairwells too corridors exterior of the Apartments. Please live aware that this is a "working" palace too the Royal Apartments may live fully or partly closed on certainly days due to official receptions of the king.
