With transportation and admission already arranged, you can skip the hassle and focus on exploring.

Walk through the state apartments, where the royal family lived from 1682 to 1789, and discover stories of palace life, politics, and revolution. An included audio-guided app helps bring the history to life.

  • There is an 8-minute walk from the meeting point to the bus. If the bus is unavailable due to circumstances beyond our control, public transport will be used with a GetYourGuide host.
