• Animal safari and picture-hunt maps from the front desk, made for ages 5 to 12 and included in the ticket; hand the finished sheet back for a reward
• No strollers inside the palace; until Aug 15 they can be left at an unattended spot in the inner courtyard
• Apartments can close for the King's official receptions, so check the closure dates on the palace's opening-hours page before you go

The King's official residence has more than 600 rooms over eleven floors, and much of it is open to visitors. Kids can walk the state apartments, see the crowns and regalia in the Treasury's cellar vaults, and pass through the medieval gate in Museum Three Crowns.

An animal safari map from the front desk sends kids hunting for animals hidden on walls, ceilings and furniture.
