The Royal Palace
About
The Royal Palace (Kungliga Slottet) [1], at times referred to by Swedes at the "Royal Castle". Built between 1697 and 1754, dominating the north-eastern part of the Old Town, the Royal Palace is the official residence of the king of Sweden. However, the royal family lives at Drottningholm, using the Royal Palace only for official ceremonies. It is open to the public unless being used for a state ceremony. Tickets to The Royal Apartments, the Tre Kronor Museum, the Treasury, and Gustav III's Museum of Antiquities cost 100 SEK each, with the sumptuous Apartments being the main draw. If Royal regalia is your thing, you'll probably want to pay 140 SEK for a combination ticket and visit the Treasury as well. Open 10:00-16:00 daily in the summer, noon-16:00 (and closed Mondays) in the winter.
