Welcome to the Royal Mews – a unique destination in the centre of Stockholm that is first and foremost a workplace but also a living museum.

The Royal Mews is responsible for transportation for the Royal Court, both by car – and for ceremonial occasions – by horse and carriage.

The ceremonial occasions are official visits, the opening of Riksdagen and the celebration of the National Day and the Crown Princess birthday.

Visit the Royal Mews


The Royal Mews is open to visitors year round for guided tours of the carriages, stables and harnesses. Sept–May: guided tour at 14:00, Saturdays and Sundays. For further details, see “Find out more" to the right.
