Golden Gate Bridge & Sausalito Bike Tour with Alcatraz Island Ticket

- Buckingham Palace, the official London residence of His Majesty The King, rises as an unmistakable symbol of British royalty — one of the few working royal palaces still in use today — and, when it isn’t needed for state business, throws open its doors to visitors each summer so you can step into a living piece of history right in the heart of the city. - Inside, you can wander through 19 magnificent State Rooms, each layered with history and purpose, originally conceived for ceremonial events and grand receptions; moving from room to room gives you a rare, almost intimate glimpse into the traditions, protocol, and everyday grandeur that surround the monarchy. - The palace interiors are home to an exceptional slice of the Royal Collection, where masterpieces by Rembrandt, Rubens, and Van Dyck hang alongside elegant Canova sculptures, fine Sèvres porcelain, and some of the most beautiful English and French furniture ever made, creating a museum-quality experience that still functions within a working royal residence. - Among the many memorable spaces, the White Drawing Room stands out as perhaps the most beautiful, its elegance punctuated by a dazzling crystal chandelier that seems to freeze time, while the nearby Music Room, famed for hosting dignitaries during State Visits, buzzes with a warm, regal atmosphere that hints at the conversations and ceremonies it has witnessed. - The Throne Room is a must-see for its ceremonial weight and visual drama, a space where official events unfold and where, in more recent times, significant moments such as the official wedding photographs of The Prince and Princess of Wales have been taken, underscoring the palace’s enduring role in royal life. - To finish your visit on a relaxed note, head to the Garden Café for light refreshments with a view of the shimmering lake and immaculately kept lawns, and pop into the Garden Shop before you leave to pick up thoughtfully selected souvenirs that will help you carry a little piece of this iconic royal residence home with you.
