About
Fakta singkat: Balkon ikonik di bagian depan sering menjadi panggung bagi penampilan publik keluarga kerajaan, yang membuat deretan kamera dan sorakan memenuhi alun-alun saat momen penting. Bagian dalamnya menyimpan sekitar 775 ruangan, termasuk ruang negara yang mewah dan kamar tamu resmi, yang memberi gambaran betapa besar dan ritualnya kehidupan publik institusi monarki.
Sorotan: Tahu nggak, tempat ini punya 775 ruangan, termasuk 19 ruang Negara berhias kain damask dan ukiran emas, sehingga lorong-lorongnya bisa terasa seperti labirin mewah yang beraroma lilin dan mawar saat tur musim panas. Bendera Royal Standard hanya berkibar kalau sang penguasa lagi di dalam, tidak pernah diturunkan separuh tiang bahkan saat berkabung; setelah parade Trooping the Colour, lebih dari 1.400 tentara, 200 kuda, dan 400 musisi sering membuat halaman depan bergetar oleh bunyi drum dan terompet.
Insider tips
- Arrive 45 minutes early for the Changing of the Guard and head to the Victoria Memorial for unobstructed views.
- Wear comfortable shoes, the State Rooms tour involves walking on polished floors and standing for photos.
- Bring a small bag only, large bags face strict security checks that can add 20 to 30 minutes.
- Best photos of the palace facade are from the east side of the Victoria Memorial or from The Mall, avoid trying tripods on busy days.
