The place is magnificent! The entrance recommended downloading the audio guide beforehand, which I was not able to do. When I arrived at the place, the Palace staff was very unclear, they sent me from one counter to another and were quite dismissive.

In a previous trip, we had attended a concert and were wowed by the place. We wanted a deeper dive and the guided tour was perfect. Our guide was very knowledgeable and professional. I guarantee that we learned more than we would have otherwise. Recommended,

The place is magnificent, wonderfully beautiful, exceptional. And the fact that the organ plays for a few moments makes this visit a unique moment.

It is worth to visit there. The music hall with full of sunshine through windows and the decoration of the wall and ceiling are so beautiful.
