Hundreds of people gather round the courtyard at the back of Kungliga Slottet (as it’s called in Swedish) to see the daily change of the Royal Guards.

It’s no problem to use you camera there, but keep it in your bag when you decide to visit the royal palace itself. Despite the world famous Swedish sense for equal rights, ordinary tourists are not allowed to photograph or shoot videos inside this magnificent building.

Don’t let this hold you off. This is what you can see when you go in (tip: with the Stockholm Card admission is free):

Museum of Antiquities
A gallery turned into a museum in 1794. You will find art and antiquities bought by Gustav III during a trip to Italy.

Royal Chapel
Lavishly decorated chapel, known for its classical concerts. Only open on selected days in summer.

The Treasury
Hidden in the dark cellars is the counterpart of the Tower of London. Here are the crown jewels and other regalia!

Tre Kronor Museum
About the predecessor Tre Kronor Palace, destroyed in a fire in 1697. To get in you pass through a five-meter thick defense wall from the 1200s

There’s also a gift shop inside Kungliga Slottet. Not the usual collection of fluffy elks and cheap T-shirts, but an assortment of fine textiles, porcelain and jewelry, all in some way related to the palace and the royal family.

Check you credit card account before you go in, or just have a look.
