In the very heart of downtown Stockholm stands a massive red-brick building which many people pass by daily. But few of them are aware that here, in the courtyard next to Väpnargatan, is an oasis amid the asphalt: the Royal Mews, home to horses, cars and beautiful carriages. A slice of civilisation and royal history, coupled with wise, professional horse management in Gee-Gee Precinct.

Royal Transports of Delight Swedens Royal Mews describes the life of the Royal Mews inmates, both human and equine, on ordinary days and festive occasions. Here you can read about magnificent carriages, the history of the Royal Mews, Prince Gustafs 1899 Daimler and the present-day routine and ceremonial duties of Head Groom, Cavalier Coachman and Riding Master, devote stewards of a unique legacy. Watch the preparations at the Royal Mews for the formal audiences when new ambassadors are accredited, go for a practice run with horse and carriage along the gravel drives of Djurgården, weave your way through the urban traffic with a four-in-hand, deftly avoiding everything from prams and umbrellas to earth-moving machinery in literally full swing.

Tune in to the exciting history of the Royal Mews establishment, from its old home on Helgeandsholmen to todays modern activities, with their smooth- running combination of horse-drawn equipages and motor transport.
