It took us a long time to leave. All the groups leave at the same time, a lot of people leave at the same time and just a little later it's time for the visit but you're already finished ____ on a mis beaucoup de temps pour partir. Tous les groupes partent en même temps, beaucoup de monde en même temps et juste un peu après c'est l'heure de la visite mais vous avez déjà fini

Mooi paleis met schitterende schilderijen. Er is enorm veel te zien. Op panelen worden de schilderijen uitgelegd.Je wandelt over de brug der zuchten naar het gedeelte met de gevangenis.

It was priceless experience to see the huge halls with decorated gold ceilings and paintings, staircases and statues. So thankful that the city could preserve its historic heritage from up to 13th century and we could feel the atmosphere back in that time. The only negative comment would be absence of museum maps (neither digital nor paper). I understand that there are tons of visitors everyday, but they can at least make digital map and audio guide downloadable (do it paid, but have an option!) to phone! That would be much better experience :)
