    First the tickets were sold out online so we had to buy them through another platform that charged us almost three times more and when we arrived we discovered that there were tickets in the ticket office of the palace. The palace is cool but you only visit the ground floor which almost completely lacks original furniture besides that some rooms were full of desks. Gardens are a real treat. Personally I think that the animals that are found there (seals and sea bears) do not make any sense, I do not think it is a good place for them.
