Visit the only official state residence of royalty in the United States at Iolani Palace in Honolulu.
Once the official home of Hawaii’s last two monarchs, the palace began to be restored in the 1970s and now welcomes tourists from all over the world. It is considered both a national treasure of Hawaii and a National Historic Landmark.
There’s everything from tours of the property to guided visits to the galleries along with free Royal Hawaiian band concerts. If you need a special souvenir for those back home, be sure to check out the Palace Shop.
To learn more about visiting the property and the history of the palace, CNN.com has an in-depth article entitled “Honolulu: Touring America’s only royal residence” which is a great read.
