Make sure you try the Guinness Chocolate Mousse at the Gravity Bar. It’s a bit pricey, but totally worth it! I regret not getting it sooner because it was a sweet end to my visit

Don't just stick to the main house! The gardens are stunning and often overlooked. It's a great place to take photos without the crowds, especially late in the afternoon.

If you can, book your tickets online. I saved a few bucks this way, plus it meant I could skip the line when I got there!

My advice is to check out the gift shop for unique souvenirs. I almost forgot about it, but I found some cool stuff that you won't see everywhere.

I recommend starting on the top floor and making your way down. That way you can avoid backtracking and really flow through the exhibits.

I suggest going on a weekday if you can. It was way less crowded when I went on a Tuesday, and I got to enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed.

If you can, go around 2 PM on weekdays to avoid the big crowds. I did, and it made everything so much easier to enjoy the tour without rushing.
