Traveler reviews
Vincenzo Reale
★★★★★7 years agoBeautiful museum within the archibishop princes palace. The rooms are gorgeous baroque with nothing to envy to Versailles palace. Look the the ceiling stuccos, the ceramic stubes (heating stoves), the gorgeous tapestries and decorations. The audioguide is actually very well done, and if you have time it is worth visiting the museum fully and listen to everything (it would take around two hours). There is also a gallery through the upper part of the cathedral, a terrace overlooking the city as well as some beautiful paintings and artifacts displayed. Definitely worth a visit!
Ernest Piech
★★★★★3 months agoGreat place. Wonderful experience. Impressive collection of arts. But first of ALL... Mascarade. Possibility of dressing in fancy clothes form the epoque and have a great time. Just like in the movie/theater, kings party in some kolind of court.
