Independent visits

We are admitting external groups to the Royal Palace of Stockholm. Guided tours may be held indoors during opening hours.

The Royal Palace of Stockholm has four public units: the Royal Apartments, the Treasury, the Tre Kronor Museum and, during the summer season, Gustav III's Museum of Antiquities. It is possible to visit one or more units.

Please note: due to the limited space inside The jubilee exhibition Vasa to Bernadotte guided tours with external guides are not permitted here. All group members must walk around individually inside the exhibition.

Admission tickets
There are a limited number of tickets that are valid for a specific day and timeslot. Purchasing an admission ticket guarantees entry at the time stated on the ticket. Admission tickets can be purchased online at the regular price.

Admission tickets with a tour operator discount can only be purchased at the entrance on arrival. You are welcome to contact us before your visit to check availability or to make a reservation. Contact information can be found further down this page, under Contact and inquiries.

Please note: for The jubilee exhibition Vasa to Bernadotte a separate ticket is required, no tour operator discount. You are welcome to contact us before your visit to check availability or to make a reservation.

Group size
We do not have any minimum or maximum limits for external groups, but we recommend a maximum of 30 people to ensure the best possible experience. Large groups may be directed past certain rooms due to space constraints. Please follow the instructions of the palace staff.

Please note: inside The jubilee exhibition Vasa to Bernadotte all group members must walk around individually. Due to the limited space inside the exhibition it is not possible to move around in groups.

Opening hours should always be checked before visiting as there may be closures in conjunction with HM The King's official receptions.
