The Royal Palace in Gamla stan is one of Europe’s largest palaces still in use by a royal family. Inside, you’ll find several museums, including the Royal Apartments, the Treasury, and Gustav III’s Museum of Antiquities. Don’t miss the changing of the guard – a tradition loved by visitors

A trip to The Royal Palace in Stockholm is perfect for...

For the Solo Travelers

The Royal Palace offers a rich and diverse experience with multiple museums, the Royal Apartments, and the Treasury all in one location. A solo traveler can spend hours exploring the vast rooms and different exhibits at their own pace, or join a guided tour for more in-depth historical context. The self-guided experience, aided by an app, allows for a personalized and immersive visit without the need to keep up with a group.

For Families

The palace provides engaging activities to make history come alive for children, such as activity trails and image hunts that are included in the admission price. These interactive features, like the "animal safari" in the state apartments, turn a visit into a fun voyage of discovery and a rewarding experience for younger visitors. The daily Changing of the Guard ceremony is also a popular and exciting event for all ages to witness outside the palace.

For the Budget Travelers

While there is an entrance fee to tour the various museums and rooms, the popular Changing of the Guard ceremony is a free and impressive spectacle to watch outside the palace gates. Its location in the heart of Gamla Stan (Old Town) also makes it easily accessible on foot, saving money on transportation. Visitors can also find free walking tours of the surrounding area that often include the palace grounds.
