Buckingham Palace things to do

The official principal residence of the monarch since 1837, Buckingham Palace is one of the most recognizable buildings in the universe. Aside from serving as the home of the Queen and Prince Phillip, the palace is truly a working building. Almost 500 people who work for the monarchy refer to it as "the office."

But to most tourists, the palace is all about pomp and circumstance, most notably the Changing of the Guard. Royal ceremonies, state visits and investitures are what draw visitors – and drive royal watchers mad.

Cruising the palace

The Queen's Gallery displays an ever-changing selection of items from the Royal Collection, featuring priceless antiques, furnishings, paintings and other mind-boggling historical artifacts.

The lavishly appointed State Rooms (opened just in August and September) are well worth fighting the crowds to see. Paintings by Rembrandt and masterpieces by Fabergé are but a few of its treasures. Make sure to listen to the informative and complimentary audio tour.
