Full description

The Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History gathers equipment across the ages, from medieval armour to 20th-century tanks, fighter jets, helicopters and missiles. The narrative starts with 19th-century wars and is explained in multiple languages.

Reviewers describe it as a very large museum where four hours or more can pass without covering everything, and aviation fans are especially pleased. Entry is free, so it suits flexible plans and families.

Allow at least 90 minutes for a first pass, and expect to choose which halls matter most to you.

Magnificent! Incredible! Awesome! I spent more than 4 hours here. So many things to be seen. I truly loved the entire collection gathered and displayed. Fighter jets, helicopters, missiles, tanks, cannons, guns, swords, knights etc. Fantastic! History at its finest! Oh, and don't miss the roof top view - you can…
