The palace was enormous! And I loved seeing the living quarters, sculpture, paintings, and the kitchen as I was intrigued that there where no pipes to let the smoke out which there were but had since been covered up. One thing that I may offer is that the time on the pass needs to be updated from an opening time of 09:00 (what was on the PDF) to 09:30 which is the correct opening time Thank you!
