Frequently asked questions

What does 'skip-the-line' actually cover?

Skip-the-line tickets let you bypass the palace ticket office queue; however, the mandatory security check at the castle entrance remains and can have a wait.

Is the concert included in every option?

No. The 3.5- and 4.5-hour options include a midday classical concert; the basic 2-hour option is palace-only without concert or transfers.

Is the tour wheelchair accessible?

Main circulation areas and the listed transportation options are wheelchair accessible, but some historic rooms use steps—contact the operator ahead for route specifics.

Can I get picked up from my hotel?

Yes—3- and 4.5-hour options offer private transfers with pickup and drop-off; provide your accommodation address when booking for timing details.
