The Royal Stables

The Royal Stables are a workplace museum in central Stockholm, in a historic building dating to 1890. They are open only to pre-booked groups and at certain public events. Visits are guided, with the King’s coachmen leading people around the stables.

The tour takes in horses, cars, decorative harnesses and a collection of 19th-century carriages. It gives visitors a look at the working stables and the vehicles and equipment kept there. In summer, the horses go to graze, so they may not be at the stables during that season.

The address is Väpnargatan 1. Arrange a group visit in advance or check whether a public event is scheduled before setting out. The guided-tour format means visitors see the stables with a coachman rather than visiting independently. This is a city-centre attraction focused on the working stables, their horses and their historic carriages. The tours are led by the King’s coachmen, rather than being self-guided.
