A long walk up the hill and a bit pricey for entry but, really worth it. Huge gallery and stunning gardens. Great to get panoramic photos of the city as well.

I took a few business guests with me to this palace for entertainment, it was average. Nothing was explained in English and overall bit of a dull scene. Beautiful view over the city though! Nice if you have time left, but not a must.

I did not see any bag check on the entrance. So I don't recommend that you go there with a suitcase.
