Entrada rápida y guía útil

Entramos rápido y el audio explicó bien cada sala histórica.

Smooth visit

Skipped lines quickly, and the audio guide made everything clearer.

Not as smooth as expected

As a first-time visitor, I found the audio guide hard to use and the entry line still took longer than expected. The palace itself is interesting, but the experience felt a bit clumsy. The ticket worked, yet I left wishing the instructions had been clearer from the start.

Guter Besuch

Einlass ging schnell, Audioguide half mir bei den wichtigsten Räumen.
