    We were delighted with the palace. It was great and the entrance fee was justified. There is an elevator on request for people with walking disabilities. Very friendly staff.

    I had no expectation when booking the ticket. I was really happily surprised. Fantastic building and history lesson. It's an amazing place and we spent many hours exploring all of the building and it's contents. I would recommend this place to all. The staff are fabulous and even the cafe is a great post experience chill.

    We opted for a single entry ticket, but without an audioguide. At first, we had to queue for a few minutes, but soon the museum staff came to collect us with our special tickets. This type of ticket gives you access to the entrance courtyard, the many halls of power, and rooms displaying armor and weapons. You'll cross the Bridge of Sighs, which is a kind of tunnel, to access the prisons on the two lower floors. You won't be able to visit the rooftop cells where Casanova was held, or the secret itinerary rooms.
