How we check things
Prices, closing days and rules come from the palaces' own schedules, news reports and booking listings, and each page shows when it was last checked. When sources disagree, we say so. We don't invent reviews or ratings.
Booking links
Some "compare" and "book" buttons go to booking sites such as Klook. If you book through them, we may earn a small commission. You pay the same price. It doesn't change which shops we mention.
Privacy
We count page visits with a simple counter (page, referrer, rough country). We don't use advertising cookies and we don't collect your name or email.
