Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy a ticket on the day? Not reliably. Walk-up ticket purchase is not guaranteed — tickets sell out online in advance. In rare cases of remaining availability you can try at the ticket desk, but the risk of finding everything sold out is high.
Is the first Sunday of the month always free? Yes, but places are limited and admission is on a first-come, first-served basis. Booking is not possible.
How much is the audio guide? About €5, available at the entrance desk. It covers all the main works on the route.
