In-Depth Information
rooms go; and you can skip Gustav III's Museum of Antiquities and the Mu-
seum of Three Crowns. The information booth in the semicircular courtyard
(at the top, where the guard changes) gives out an explanatory brochure with a
map marking the different entrances (main entrance is on the west side—away
from the water—but the Royal Armory has a separate entrance). They also
have a list of today's guided tours. In peak season, there are up to three dif-
ferent English tours a day (included in the admission)—allowing you to sys-
tematically cover nearly the entire complex. Since the palace is used for state
functions, it is sometimes closed to tourists.
