Open daily during the summer for tourists, the Royal Palace is not the home of any royalty, it’s a museum and venue for important state events held by the Dutch royals. Recently renovated and spruced up for the wedding of Willem-Alexander and Maxima this place is worth a visit if you haven’t been inside before.
Of note are rooms replete with their period furnishings, carvings, bas-reliefs of bizarre historical notes and artworks left behind when the royals abandoned the place.
Born and raised in Amsterdam would like to visit the Royal Palace in Spring but realize it doesn’t open for tourists until June. I am very disappointed not being able to visit the palace. To all my family, old friends and neighbors [ I left Holland in 1953] a fond hello and best wishes.
