Buckingham Palace

Die Schlangen waren lang aber es hat sich voll gelohnt - es gibt eine tolle Audio-Tour und der Willkommensgruß von Prinz Charles und die herrschaftliche Musik tragen noch zu der Erfahrung bei. Die Innenausstattung des Palastes ist recht beeindruckend - Zimmer um Zimmer voller Gold, tiefrot und mit riesigen Lüstern. Ich war ganz gefangen von der Geschichte - all diese mächtigen und berühmten Menschen, die im Laufe der Jahre, durch dieses Gemäuer gegangen sind! Als wir hier waren gab es auch eine Ausstellung mit den Kleidern und Juwelen (sagenhaft) der Königin von England. Wenn man sich innen umgesehen hat, sollte man die Treppen hinter in den Garten gehen. Nun, es hat sich sehr gelohnt.

Our experience was wonderful. We purchased tickets beforehand to visit the staterooms through viator. We picked up our tickets from the shop across the street, as per instructions, which went very smoothly. We had also reserved a wheelchair for my grandmother (btw, if you do that, you get a free companion ticket!) which was waiting for us at the gate. Note- if you do this, you will enter a separate place, all the way around the corner, which was a bit inconvenient for my grandmother to get to, since it is hard for her to walk that far. However, once we arrived, we received VIP treatment from start to finish. They have the wheelchair system down to a T, everything is just soo well coordinated! Their audio headsets were very easy to use- my grandmother who does not even know how to use a mouse on a computer was able to handle hers efficiently. The staff there truly went above and beyond the normal call of duty. At the end of our visit, we asked if we could return the wheelchair at the gate closer to the street where taxis can drive, and they accommodated this request, even though they had to do some rearrangement. A+++!!!

This is a great value attraction which can take up to 2 hours, it is great to have the audio and move at your own pace much better than listening to a guide who moves you at their pace.

Don't have tea before you go in because the cafe in the garden serves the best pastries I have ever seen.
