Opening Hours and Last Entry
Seasonal hours
The palace extends its hours in summer (April–September) to catch evening visitors. In winter months (October–March) it closes earlier to align with sunset and heating needs. Last entry is always 45 minutes before closing, so plan accordingly.
If you want morning light on the main courtyard, arrive at 10:00 when the gates open. If you prefer afternoon visits, come after 15:00 to avoid the mid-day crowds.
