In addition, hundreds of thousands of tourists visit the palace every year. According to Statista, in 2023-2024, Buckingham Palace attracted about 530,000 tourists. Visitors not only admire the majestic architecture but also watch the famous Changing of the Guard ceremony.
For those who wish to see the palace from the inside, guided tours of the state halls are available in summer, as well as on certain dates in winter and spring.
Since 1837, Buckingham Palace has been the official London residence of the sovereigns of the United Kingdom, according to the royal family's website.
Among the 775 rooms located in Buckingham Palace are 19 state rooms, 52 royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices, and 78 bathrooms, according to the royal family's website.
The Royal Palace is full of breathtaking places, including the White Drawing Room, the Throne Room, the Ballroom and the 47-meter-long Art Gallery filled with works of art.
The grand staircase and 39-hectare palace garden can also be enjoyed.
The balcony of the royal palace is the place where generations of royalty have gone public.
