Hello Beautiful Souls, I am keen to share my wonderful experience at Buckingham Palace, where my mum and I embarked on the State Rooms tour. While we may not be avid royal fans, we both appreciate the beauty of palaces and the art they hold within their walls. This tour was something we had been looking forward to, and it did not disappoint.
Upon entering, we were informed that photography was not allowed inside the State Rooms. However, I wanted to cherish the memories, so I picked up a beautiful book as a souvenir. The palace was vast and stunning, and it amazed me that we needed a proper two hours to explore it all. The guided tour through the headphones provided us with fascinating insights into the history of the palace, making the visit even more enriching.
The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the art collection. To see paintings by legendary artists like Rubens, Rembrandt, and lesser-known Italian masters [to me] was a truly breathtaking experience. Each masterpiece was a window into history, and I found myself captivated by the rich stories they held.
As the tour concluded, we found ourselves in the palace garden, a tranquil oasis amidst the bustling city. We took a moment to relax at the cafe, sipping coffee and enjoying some snacks. A quick visit to the souvenir shop allowed me to bring home a tea towel for my kitchen and some delightful cookies in a fancy tin as mementoes of the day.
All in all, Buckingham Palace’s State Rooms tour was an unforgettable experience that I would recommend to anyone seeking a glimpse into the grandeur of the past. Please note that this tour is typically available only during the summer months, so keep an eye on the official website to plan your visit accordingly.
