Beste tid å besøke
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.
Budsjettips
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.
Anbefalt for

Om
Raske fakta: Palassets senkede hage ble omgjort til et minnesmerke for prinsesse Diana i 2017, med 4000 sesongblomster som blomstrer til forskjellige tider av året. Over 500 000 besøkende passerer gjennom smijernsportene årlig, mange i håp om å få et glimt av en kongelig som vinker fra balkongen eller et kongelig babyfoto utenfor Lindo Wing i nærheten.
Høydepunkter: Palasset har fortsatt et fungerende vaskeri som håndpresser dronningens lintøy med en 150 år gammel mangle, og du kan av og til lukte lavendelstivelsen som siver gjennom representasjonsrommene. I etasjen over er det en hemmelig dør forkledd som en bokhylle som en gang lot kongelige ansatte bevege seg mellom fløyene usett, et viktoriansk knep som fortsatt lurer besøkende i dag.
Insidertips
- 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.
