Anastasia was a wonderful guide. She was friendly and upbeat, and had so much information and stories to share. I enjoyed seeing how they lived "everyday lives" inside the palace. Anastasia helped make the tour enjoyable and enlightening.

It's nice inside but it has nothing related to the Austro-Hungarian Empire or Austria, it has armour, musical instruments and various other exhibits from African, Asian and Indian cultures. Still it is quite interesting and has very good explanations with the audioguide.

The visit was very good. But the best of all was Headout's kindness in agreeing to give us a 50% discount for another visit because we could not go on the day agreed for the entrance to the palace due to my wife's illness. Thanks to Headout.
