Organised groups

Yes, we allow outside guides to lead groups around the palace. The Museum frequently organises courses for local guides to keep them up to date with changes to our exhibitions and arrangements. Note, however, that such groups must also reserve an entry time.

To enter the palace as a single group, a tour cannot number more than 25 participants. Larger groups must be split between two or more guides, meaning that there may be fewer available dates and times when we can accommodate such a tour. This rule also applies to groups touring with external guides.

During tours of the museum, most groups focus primarily on the palace interiors on the first floor – spectacular rooms and halls dating mostly from the first years of the twentieth century. Weather permitting, groups can also visit the adjacent garden. A guided tour generally takes 90 minutes to complete.

Yes, but only in the case of groups that tour the museum on their own or with a city guide. Such groups do enter the museum for free on Wednesdays. Of course, group entry reservations are required. A group that tours the museum with one of our guides on a Wednesday is subject to standard ticketing.

There can be no more than 15 people (excluding guides) in the sewer at one time. We accept reservations for larger tours, but these must be split into smaller groups that take turns going underground.

A tour of the sewer doesn’t take a long time: about 25 minutes with a guide, 10-15 minutes if you don’t have a guide.

Yes. Tours can enter with their own guides, but must make a reservation for an entry time.
