What to expect
You'll move through gilded halls and mirrored chambers at your own tempo, pausing where interest takes you. The audio guide supplies context—court ceremonies, power plays, architectural ambitions—without rushing you along. Expect crowds even with reserved entry; peak hours cluster mid-morning. The gardens sprawl considerably; wear comfortable shoes. You'll need a charged phone or tablet to access the app, and the audio works best with headphones (not provided). Security screening at entry is standard; bring photo ID.
