I bought a ticket online and it was the best thing I ever done because the lineup was huge and I went straight through and Audio guide explained all the points. It was a beautiful experience. I'm glad they did it and I will suggest it to all my friends

The palace itself is stunning, with intricate architecture and decor, but it’s the grounds that truly steal the show— just beautiful around every corner.
