The Palace of Holyroodhouse is open and welcoming visitors Thursdays – Mondays. Book your visit here.
At the Palace of Holyroodhouse, visitors can explore 14 magnificent historic and State Apartments, the romantic ruins of the 12th-century Holyrood Abbey and remarkable royal gardens, all with a complimentary multimedia tour in ten languages. Best known as the home of Mary, Queen of Scots, the Palace was the setting for many dramatic episodes in her short reign. Today, the State Apartments are used regularly by The Queen for State ceremonies and official entertaining.
We have introduced timed tickets to manage the number of visitors inside The Queen’s official residences and galleries. By reducing capacity, we are making sure that everyone can enjoy their visit while maintaining social distancing and staying safe. For guaranteed entry while capacity is reduced, please book your ticket online ahead of your planned visit.
