It was a little unclear where we were supposed to go to get in line. It said to be 15 min early but when we got to the end of the line we were sent away to stand in line all over again. This was difficult for someone with back and knee pain. Once in, all went smoothly.

Very enjoyable. Fabulous tiles everywhere. Amazing marble staircases. Wonderful grounds to wander around. Great atmosphere. We went at 5pm and it was still too hot to do very much. Perhaps earlier in the day it’s less hot. But was told it’s Really busy in mornings. But the endless rooms of massive religious paintings are a bit repetitive. Liked the area with the more modern day portraits.

Beautiful palace, but the audio guide app caused some problems. First of all it didn’t work with my Bluetooth headphones, so the lady behind the counter gave me a qr code to scan so I could use the web version. That worked for a while, until the web site logged me out automatically and I couldn’t log in again. Upon opening the app, I discovered that it also logged me out and asked me for a code I did not receive at the time of purchase. So, I ended up paying around 10 EUR for about 20 minutes of audio guidance…
