Did you know
The Palace's nineteen State Rooms are only open to the public for a limited season each summer, while the Royal Mews next door remains open most of the year and still stables the horses used for state occasions like coronations and royal weddings.
Local tip
Book State Rooms tickets online well ahead for the summer opening season, and time a visit to coincide with Changing the Guard, held on select mornings, for the best view from outside the railings before the crowds build.
