Check out the small exhibitions too! I almost skipped them, but they had some fascinating artifacts that really added to the experience.

Be prepared for some uneven paths; the cobblestones can be tricky. I wore comfy shoes, and it made a big difference in my enjoyment of the place.

If you're planning to take pictures, double check the rules first! I got caught taking a photo where I shouldn't have, and it was a bit embarrassing.

I recommend wearing comfy shoes. There’s a ton of walking involved, and you don’t want your feet to give out halfway through!

Lunch at the museum café is decent, but I suggest eating nearby to save a few bucks. There are some hidden gems just a short walk away!

Finally, I think it helps to research a few artists beforehand. It made my experience so much richer to know a bit about their story before seeing their work in person.

if you can, arrive right when they open at 10 am to beat the crowds. i made the mistake of going later and missed some great photo ops in the less busy areas.

Wear comfortable shoes! Between walking through the palace and the vast gardens, my feet were killing me by the end of the day. Make sure to enjoy every corner without the pain!

Consider buying your tickets online in advance to skip the long lines. Trust me, waiting in line can be a real mood killer when you just want to explore.

Don’t forget to visit the little gift shop! I picked up a beautiful model ship that was reasonably priced – it’s now my favorite souvenir!

I think you should grab the audio guide. I didn’t get one at first, but I later realized it really adds to the experience and helps you understand the exhibits better.
