Buying guide

Not sure which ticket to choose?

Visitors must distinguish between the Royal Armoury (focused on artifacts and carriages) and the Royal Palace (the main state rooms and treasury). For the full experience, a guided tour is essential to navigate the separate vault entrances across the massive complex, while the Stockholm Pass is the best value for those also visiting the nearby Vasa Museum.

You want to see the royal carriages and armor collections specifically

This ticket is dedicated to the Royal Armoury museum, which is physically located in the palace basement but requires a separate admission from the main State Apartments.

Before checkout

What is often not included

The 'skip-the-line' label only applies to the ticket purchase window; all visitors must wait in the same mandatory security screening line, which can exceed 30 minutes during peak June midday slots.
The Royal Apartments are frequently used for official state ceremonies; specific rooms or the entire floor may close on short notice without a reduction in ticket price or eligibility for a refund.
The Royal Armoury (Livrustkammaren) is a separate museum entity; a standard 'Royal Palace' ticket does not grant entry there, and separate admission must be paid unless using a specific Stockholm city pass.
Large bags, backpacks, and umbrellas are strictly prohibited inside the palace; on-site lockers are small (A4 size) and cannot accommodate suitcases or large travel packs.
Strollers and prams are not permitted within the Royal Apartments or the Treasury for preservation reasons; they must be left in designated, often unsupervised, parking areas near the entrance.
Photography is strictly forbidden in the Treasury (Skatkammaren) and during temporary exhibitions; in permitted areas, the use of flash, tripods, and selfie sticks is prohibited.

Insider tips

4 things to know before your visit

Entrance: For your June 2026 visit, use the Southern Vault (Södra valvet) on Slottsbacken as the primary entrance for the Royal Apartments, the Treasury, and the Royal Chapel. If visiting the Museum Three Crowns, use the Northern Portico (Norra valvet) at street level. Note that 'skip-the-line' tickets only bypass the ticket office; a mandatory security check remains for all visitors. To avoid the heaviest congestion, time your arrival to avoid the Changing of the Guard ceremony in the Outer Courtyard (approx. 11:45 AM daily, 12:45 PM Sundays), as the surrounding crowds can significantly delay access to the palace gates.
Price: Official adult admission to the Royal Palace (State Apartments, Treasury, and Tre Kronor Museum) is 220 SEK during the peak summer season. Note that the Royal Armoury (Livrustkammaren) is a separate museum within the palace walls requiring its own 150 SEK ticket. Partner rates around 246 SEK often include a guided tour, which provides significant value as official on-site tours have limited capacity.
Discounts: As of June 2026, children under the age of 7 enter the Royal Palace for free and can be included in your online time-slot booking for 0 SEK. Reduced-rate tickets are available for youth (ages 7–17), students with a valid ID, and seniors (65+). While the Royal Apartments and Treasury require paid tickets, the Royal Armoury (Livrustkammaren) is a separate museum that maintains its own free-entry policy for visitors aged 0–18. For those using the Stockholm Pass (Go City), the pass must be validated at the ticket office to receive a timed-entry slot.
Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a mobile ticket and do I need a specific time slot?

Yes, digital tickets are accepted at all entrances. While some tickets offer flexible entry, booking a specific time slot online is highly recommended for June 2026 to guarantee access to the Royal Apartments during the peak summer season.

Does a "skip-the-line" ticket bypass the security check?

No. Skip-the-line and priority tickets only allow you to bypass the queue at the physical ticket office. All visitors must still pass through a mandatory security screening, which can experience wait times during busy periods.

What happens if the Palace closes for a royal event in June 2026?

As a working royal residence, sections like the State Apartments may close on short notice for official receptions. In June 2026, expect partial closures around June 6 (National Day) and June 13 (Royal Golden Wedding); check the official calendar on the morning of your visit.

Is the Royal Armoury included in my Palace entrance ticket?

No, the Royal Armoury (Livrustkammaren) is a separate museum with its own entrance and pricing. Your Palace ticket typically covers the Royal Apartments, the Treasury, and the Museum Three Crowns only.

Can I bring a backpack or a stroller inside the Palace?

No. Large bags and backpacks must be stored in lockers. Strollers are not permitted inside the historic apartments to protect the floors; however, designated stroller parking is available in the courtyard (bring a baby carrier for the visit).

How do I get free tickets for children or reduced rates for students?

Children under 7 enter free, while those aged 7–17 and students qualify for reduced rates. While paid tickets are available online, free-entry tickets must be collected at the on-site ticket desk upon presentation of a valid ID or student card.

Are guided tours included, or do I need to book them separately?

Official 45-minute guided tours in English are available for an extra fee and can be booked online or at the desk. For a budget-friendly alternative, you can download the free 'Royal Palaces' app for a self-guided audio tour.

What is the refund policy if my plans change?

Official tickets are generally non-refundable. If you need flexibility, booking through partners like GetYourGuide often provides a 24-hour cancellation window, which is useful given the Palace's potential for sudden closures due to state events.
