We did both a tour of the palace and the night fountain show. The palace and grounds are spectacular, and the audio tour was very informative. The gardens and night show were also pretty unbelievable and worth checking out after dark. Just note that there is a lot of walking, and the gardens aren’t necessarily steady ground.

This is one of my favorite places in the world from now. The gardens of the palace are amazing and you can walk and stay here for hours. Also take a talk with friends. On the other side, the palace is an incredible place, the paintings on the wall and the architecture are wonderful. I toon the audio guide and recommend it.

Amazing! Please keep in mind that to get there easily is to buy tickets in advance at least one day. They implemented the hourly schedule to get into the palace itself(for example, 9:30,10:30, 11:30 and so on access). Most likely if you come early , you will get in the morning groups easily. We can around noon without tickets and only could get the tickets to enter the palace at 16:00. It’s not a ...

Extraordinary amount of history compiled into a huge Palace and multiple gardens. Take a full day for the experience and bring your own sandwiches and water bottles. It is warm in summer, so be prepared. The palace is full, and I mean really full, with paintings, murals, frescoes, statues, busts, baroque furniture, etc. There are so many decorations of everything that there is no way to note it al...
