Buckingham Palace Visitor Highlights
- The State Rooms: the magnificent and opulent decorations are impossible to describe with words alone. Book a Buckingham Palace inside tour and feast your eyes on these historic and dazzling rooms, including the Throne Room and Ballroom.
- Buckingham Palace Tours with Prince Charles: The best way to explore the British Palace is with a British monarch at your side (or in your ear). Prince Charles generously recorded an audio-guided tour of Buckingham Palace Royal Mews and the Gardens. What better guide to the Palace than the Prince himself?
- Changing of the Guards: No Buckingham Palace entry would be complete without this emblematic experience! To see the ¨redskins¨ Royal Guards in action, get your Buckingham Palace change of guard tickets, with a Royal London and State Rooms Tour!

- “I never promised you a rose garden” - but you will find one here! What better place to snap a memory of your Buckingham Palace guided tour than knee deep in royal roses?
- The Waterloo Vase: This stone urn is a whopping 15 feet tall, carved from a single block of Carrara marble. Insta-perfect, #buckinghampalacegardens.
- Across the Water: What better use of your Buckingham Palace tour ticket than to snap a perfect shot of the Royal Residence reflected in the garden lake?
Buckingham Palace Tickets: Visitor Tips
- Look around you: While the Palace is a must-see, “you’re in London baby!” Make the most of being in this world-famous capital by combining one of the Buckingham Palace tours with a Royal London Tour.
- Did you know? The Palace has its own ATM and Post Office. There are rumors of secret underground passageways linking the Palace to Westminster Abbey, the Tube (Subway) system, and the Houses of Parliament. Find out more secrets of the Palace and get tickets to tour Buckingham Palace today!
- Dress appropriately: It is highly unlikely you will bump into the Queen on your visit, unfortunately, but just in case, better leave the leopard print sweatpants at home! You don’t need to follow a dress code like a Royal to visit a Royal residence, but smart and respectful attire is recommended.
Combination Tickets: London Attractions
- Buckingham Palace 2 for 1: Why not save yourself the hassle (and expense) of buying two tickets, when you can purchase combination tickets and tour packages to Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle? From the Queen’s official residence to her very own favorite residence, Windsor Castle. Marvel at fine Gothic architecture at St George's Chapel, the venue for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding!
- Stonehenge and Buckingham Palace: Visit two of England’s most famous landmarks in just one day in this Buckingham Palace combination tour. Admire the contrast from your trips to Buckingham Palace State Rooms, with the weird and wonderful rock formation on Salisbury plain.
