Changing of the Guards

The Changing of the Guard presents a colourful spectacle. It takes places daily at 11.30.

Accompanied by a band, the new guard marches from a nearby barracks to the palace, where the troops form up facing the old guard.

As the changeover takes place, the officers of the old and new contingents advance and touch left hands to symbolize the transfer of keys.
