Beste Besuchszeit
Visit on a weekday morning right when gates open at 9:30 AM to avoid the biggest crowds. Summer months (July-September) are the only time the State Rooms are open, so plan ahead.
Budgettipps
Tickets cost £30 for adults, but children under 17 go half price and under-5s enter free. A family ticket saves about 15%, and the London Pass includes entry with skip-the-line access.

Schnelle Fakten: The palace's Sunken Garden was transformed into a memorial for Princess Diana in 2017, featuring 4,000 seasonal flowers that bloom at different times of the year. Over 500,000 visitors pass through its wrought-iron gates annually, many hoping to spot a royal waving from the balcony or a royal baby photo op outside the Lindo Wing nearby.
Highlights: The palace still has a functioning laundry that hand-presses the Queen's linens with a 150-year-old mangle, and you can sometimes smell the lavender starch drifting through the state rooms. Upstairs, a secret door disguised as a bookshelf once let royal staff move between wings unseen, a Victorian-era trick that still fools visitors today.
Insidertipps
- Skip the audio guide queue by downloading the free app on your phone before you arrive.
- The Changing of the Guard happens at 11:00 AM but show up by 10:15 for a spot at the front gates.
- Photography is banned inside the State Rooms, but the garden and exterior shots are fair game from the front lawn.
- Wear comfortable shoes: the State Room tour covers nearly a kilometer of marble floors and red-carpeted corridors.
