My advice is to buy your tickets online. I went on a busy weekend, and the lines were super long. Pre-booking totally saved my time!

You might want to skip the audio guide. I found that some parts were underwhelming, and the free pamphlet had most of the info you need.

I suggest allowing at least two hours for your visit. I thought I could do it in one, but I ended up wanting to explore every detail

I recommend getting your tickets online in advance to skip the queues. It saved me a bunch of time on the day of my visit.

Check the weather ahead of time. I went on a rainy day and wished I had brought an umbrella. The views are still great, but dry weather makes it much more enjoyable.

Try to time your visit with sunset if you can. The view from the top of the mound at dusk is unforgettable, and makes for some amazing photos!

Be prepared for some steep stairs! If you have mobility issues, consider taking your time or visiting a nearby park instead. It can be a workout!

If you can, visit on a weekday, especially around 10 AM. The crowds are way lighter, and you can enjoy the architecture without feeling rushed. I wish I had known this sooner!

Take a moment to just sit in the courtyard and soak in the atmosphere. It’s one of those places that deserves a bit of your time to just absorb it all – trust me, it's so peaceful!

I recommend checking out the outdoor section first. The planes are super cool, but it can get pretty hot in the afternoon. Getting this done first means more comfort later!

I suggest starting your visit right when they open at 10 AM. It's way less crowded, and you can really take your time exploring the aircraft without feeling rushed.

Look for local vendors selling unique handmade crafts. I found some great souvenirs that were way cheaper than the tourist shops. Support the locals!

I suggest allowing extra time if you're planning to visit other sites nearby. The Old Town is just a stone's throw away and you'll want to wander and explore.

Make sure to check if there's a free entry day when the museum has no admission fee, trust me, it saves a bunch! I went on a Tuesday and it was packed, but free entry is worth it
