The area
Neighborhood: Gamla Stan & Riddarholmen
Gamla Stan is Stockholm’s historic old town and home to the Swedish Royal Palace. It’s the most central island of Stockholm and accompanied by the small island of Riddarholmen, mainly known for its famous Riddarholm Church. Gamla Stan tends to be a bit touristy at times but is definitely worth visiting: take a stroll past the well-preserved buildings and through the small (and also Sweden’s narrowest) alleys, which will make you feel like you’ve travelled back in time. This neighborhood offers a great combination of historical buildings and traditional Swedish restaurants.
How to get there
- Gamla stan • 6 min walk
- Kungsträdgården • 6 min walk

Located at Kungliga slottet, the Treasury is part of the Royal Palace complex (requires separate admission of 100 SEK - free admission with Stockholm Card) and is located in the vaults beneath the palace. The Treasury houses the regalia of the Swedish monarchy; among these you will see the key, crown, sceptre and orb of Erik XIV, Gustav Vasa’s sword, the King Sveno tapestry, the baptismal font of Karl XI, and numerous crowns.
The entrance to the treasury is located inside the southern gate of the palace at Slottsbacken 1.

The Swedish crown jewels are very lovely but almost impossible to see in the very badly lit dungeon/vault in which they are housed. Of course light is bad for textiles, and the crowns all have beautiful embroidered blue silk tops, but light does nothing to gold, silver, diamonds, emeralds, etc. Yet, it's dark as a tomb in there, even too dark to read the printed materials they helpfully provide. I had a headache from squinting to see! Turn on the lights, please!

This is a small Tour with loads of Royal Crowns varying in design down the ages, some are particularly very beautiful and very small, I was surprised that they even have a death crown that goes on top of the coffins, ..Look out for the 27 Mechanism Trunks there’s two they used to store the Royal Jewels until the 17th hundreds..I have never seen trunks like that in my life before. The Tresasury is Well worth a visit, You can combine this tour with the Royal Apartments & The Tre Kronor Museum the three are all included in the price of 160 SEK for an Adult or Free with the Stockholm Pass

Small, but beautiful. There is not a lot to see here and my friend who did not take the tour option whizzed around it in under 10mins, but the guided tour was superb value for just 20kr. The tour guide was very informative and gave a lot of information about the history of Sweden as well as about the Crown Jewels. I found it fascinating and well worth the time and money.

As the Royal palace tickets are valid for 3 days, it is advisable to see this a part of the Royal palace or on the next day. It is quite a small collection but steeped in history. The beauty of the underground vault with the things maintained in pristine condition is worth a visit. The history of the Scandinavian countries along with the history of the Swedish monarchy is pretty well explained by the guide (it is available in English also) which is quite interlinked with objects in the treasury. The gift shop is quite expensive but a few memorabilia could surely be purchased. Surely worth a visit for a Stockholm tourist.

Admission to this royal palace museum is included in the ticket price to the Royal apartments. Because it is a vault like room, the space is small and gets crowded quickly, particularly when a palace tour guide is longwinded about pointing out details of the items in the display cases and telling stories about the royals who used them. I enjoyed seeing the ermine trimmed royal robe; very elegant even today. Another display case that showed the crowns of kings and members of the royal family like princes and princesses also deserved a long look to see what jewels and trim were applied to the intricate gold frame. Swords with sparkling diamonds on the hilt, pins, and regalia of state are stored here as well. One can walk all around the display cases making it easier to see these valued items when there is a crowd. Each item in the display case has a number and a label to identify it on the edge of the display case. The display is not a large impressive one.. one small room maybe 2 with limited display cases. It seemed like a limited selection rather than the whole collection of the royal jewels. Allow about 20 minutes.

Was 150SEK per adult. Only 2 small rooms with a few items such as crowns and a few swords. Totally not worth it!
However, the entrance gives you also access to the royal apartments, the Tre Kronor Museum and the Museum of Antiquities. It is also valide for a complete week.

We combined this visit with the 'fee' attractions at the Palace, with the Chapel particularly worthy of inspection. As you are probably aware, The Royal Palace is split into a number of individual attractions, which can be viewed individual ticket basis, or by a group ticket for all the 'museums'. The Royal Treasury, home of the Swedish Crown jewels was the one we specifically wanted to visit - so we did!
Entry was 100 SK each, or £10, and accessed down a well worn flight of stone stairs - this is where entry was paid/ souvenirs could be purchased. The Crowns and other regalia are housed in three 'rooms' and there is a strict no photography rule.
As expected, the Crowns themselves, and other objects are beautiful examples of craftsmanship, displayed behind glass with very brief descriptions. We were lucky and caught onto the end, of what I understand, was the free guided tour. This seemed a very detailed account of the objects and people and stories associated with them.
We spent around 45 minutes taking in the objects at a leisurely pace and avoiding the cramming round cases. Indeed we might have been lucky with the numbers there - not sure if there is a limit on visitors at a time. I would note this is a 'no frills' experience with the objects doing all the 'talking' and 'attention' - no interactive or other such paraphernalia here. Thats not a criticism, I think the tone is correct.
Worth a visit - yes, worth £10? - depends on the individual, however that is the British, Danish, and now Swedish Crown Jewels experienced at close quarters and am pleased I have had the chance.

The Treasury is included in the ticket price for the Palace and it is just below the entrance to the State Rooms. There are quite a few jewels to see, the room however is quiet dull and not well lit. There are plaques that have what each piece is and they are in English.
