The Royal Palace In Stockholm, Sweden
We have now proclaimed our creator to be King on the Jewish New Year, Rosh HaShana, so sharing the Royal Palace in Stockholm Sweden is very timely indeed! While we did not go on any palace tours or visit any museums within the palace, we enjoyed seeing it from the front and the back! The palace is located in Stockholm’s Old City, which is a very charming place to explore, and so do set aside some extra time to get away from the crowds of tourists and explore the quaint alley ways! Lest I digress, back to the palace, which is not the home of the King and Queen, but rather serves as their offices. The Royal residence is outside the city, and one can take a boat tour there, which looks like a lovely thing to do if you have lots of time to explore Stockholm, which I would recomend. There are so many things to do, especially in the summer, as boats to the archipelagos leave from city, and that is indeed something not to miss, I can’t wait to come back hopefully and explore the islands some more myself. Of course, a little bit of city adventures, as well as some museums is worthwhile too, so plan accordingly! Okay, lets get a closer look at the palace……
Swedish style facade.
The royal seal on the gate, (in case you’ve noticed, yes, I have altered it somewhat in order to post it here.)
The back side of the palace which is the actual entry point.
The palace looking from across the river.
A nice laser cut sign for the Royal Armory.
Hope you’ve enjoyed this little tour, stay tuned for lots more as we leave the city and head North to Dalarna, ahhhhh.

Incredible architecture. A little odd that they call it the palace, but the royal family doesn’t live there.

Hi Alexandra, I guess they prefer their country place, and could likely stay in this palace if they wished…..their offices are here apparently.
