Wear socks inside the building. For the underground passage and billiard room, check separate guided-visit conditions first. Standard visits do not necessarily include access to every area.
Consider arrival-day timing
Last admission is 16:30 and closing is 17:00. An arrival-day visit also needs airport travel and a stop to store luggage. Move the visit to another day if arriving late.
