Information you can follow.
A clear source, a useful distinction and room to acknowledge what is uncertain.

The scope of this page
Research here concerns the information used in visitor guidance and cultural articles. This website is not presented as a scientific research institute or the palace’s archival department.
The Directorate of National Palaces is the primary reference for the palace’s institutional history and current visitor information. Our own booking terms explain the separate service provided by Apollo Trading UG.
A method readers can inspect
- 01
Start with the relevant source
Use the venue for its history, entrance arrangements and visitor rules.
- 02
Treat changing details carefully
Opening times, availability and admission products can change. Check the current information before travelling.
- 03
Separate fact from interpretation
A historical milestone is different from an impression of a room or photograph.
- 04
Keep uncertainty visible
Do not treat an unverified detail or a pictured room as an admission guarantee.
Reading prices fairly
Compare the same date, visitor category, access and currency, and include service fees in the comparison. A venue’s direct admission price and a facilitator’s total describe different offers.
Review the base ticket cost, service fee and final total before payment. This website does not claim to have completed a market-wide price comparison.
Corrections belong with the content
If a detail appears wrong or unclear, identify the page and the statement when contacting us. For current entry conditions, use the official venue information.
A correction to an information page does not itself change the conditions of an existing booking. Keep your booking reference and correspondence for any booking-specific enquiry.
