The Royal Palace was truly amazing! I entered without any problems and even skipped the line. Before entering, I watched the changing of the guards — it was very impressive, especially the beautiful horses. 🐎 Every room in the palace was wonderful, from the magnificent ceilings to all the beautiful details and furnishings. I also really appreciated the benches along the corridors, where you can sit down and take a little rest while exploring. After leaving the palace, there was a picturesque view of the cathedral — such a beautiful way to finish the visit.

We comfortably saw the main sights with great commentary. The elevated position on the upper deck also offered fantastic views. Unfortunately, the bus stops were hard to find, and we had to spend the first 20 minutes on the lower deck because there was no room upstairs. Downstairs, unfortunately, due to the design of the bus, we saw absolutely nothing.

The works in the palace need no comment: they are extraordinary. What I would like to highlight is the kindness and helpfulness of the staff. I walk with a cane due to hip problems, I am 76 years old, and I found all the help I needed. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Direct entry that allowed us to skip the long line of people who didn't have a ticket yet. The audio guide included with the ticket purchase is very useful (only in English).

Superb place, and we were not disappointed with the tours of the armory and the Royal Palace. Fortunately, once there, we were able to get an audio guide for five euros per person, because the app led us to believe it was included for free with the ticket purchase, when that was absolutely not the case! Watch out, because the website is highly misleading. This is very frustrating after the fact. The skip-the-line ticket didn't really help us (since there weren't many people when we arrived) and I'm not sure we would have been able to skip the line if it had been longer...
