Probably the most sought-after experience when visiting Buckingham Palace is the Changing of the Guard. The Queen’s Guard has performed this duty since 1660. During the 45-minute ceremony, visitors will experience the colorful pageantry beginning at 11:00am, weather permitting. Visiting the State Rooms, where the Queen receives official visits, is another in-demand tour at Buckingham Palace. Those wishing to make a day of it can purchase A Royal Day Out ticket, which includes admission to The Queen’s Gallery, the Royal Mews (working stables), and the State Rooms. Visitors can purchase gifts inspired by the Royal Collection at the Garden Shop or any of the Royal Collection Shops. The Garden Café is open during the summer at the palace.
