Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started!

Royal Palace closed?

Post by AustralianAunt »

Hi all

Is the Royal Palace closed to tourists currently? It says it is on google maps but I can’t seem to find info anywhere else.

Thanks!

Yes, it is.
No logical reason. First, they blamed Covid. Then they said closed for renovations. The latest is that running costs are too high to open up the palace to tourists.
Apparently, the earliest reopening date is the beginning of next year.
Though it's the Kingdom of Wonder. Could reopen tomorrow, could reopen in 2026...

It's been closed to tourists for at least 3 years, due to COVID and ongoing maintenance/renovations. No great loss really, the areas that are open to visitors are not that impressive anyway.
