Tips for Tourists

• Book Tickets in Advance: Avoid long lines and ensure entry by purchasing tickets ahead of time, especially during peak tourist seasons.

• Guided Tours: Enhance your visit with a guided tour to gain deeper insights into the history and architecture of the palace.
• Audio Guides: For those who prefer exploring at their own pace, audio guides are available and highly recommended to provide context to the rich history.
• Dining: After touring the palace and gardens, relax at the on-site café, which offers a variety of refreshments with stunning views of the surroundings.
