The queue of people without a ticket was long and with a skip-the-line ticket it didn't take 2 minutes. What to say about the Royal Palace: Very impressive, wonderful, super luxurious, I loved it 💕

We did indeed skip a long queue by buying tickets online, and the palace is undoubtedly beautiful, however I think it is relevant to mention that the Palace has no air conditioning, which makes the experience, inside the rooms, unbearable to say the least, my family and I were sweltering in the middle of autumn.
