Went for a visit yesterday but what a shame it was we couldn't visit the apartments (closed on tuesdays), so we visited the palatine chapel and the gardens. The chapel is unique, and worth a visit, the gardens are quite nice, with old huge trees but imo, the 10€/pax price in unjustified!
The palatine chapel is really nice, but the cost of the ticket (the Norman Palace, the palatine chapel and the garden) is very expensive for what you get (compared with other touristic attractions from Europe and from Italy). If you do come, there is a reduced price for 3 days of the week (can't remember which), otherwise it is really expensive and not worth the money in my opinion. In the weekend the price is still higher, because you visit the royal apartments also.
The chapel is really beautiful, but the rest of the palace is closed off and you can’t see the apartments. It was a shame considering the €15 per person it costs to enter. The art gallery they have in right now is very average. The underground was cool! I’d skip it next time and would recommend visiting a different chapel if you want to avoid the high entry fee.
Frankly speaking, I don't think it's worth spending your time and money to visit place. The chapel is beautiful, yes, but everything else is not really that good. Also, note that you have to pay here for toilet... after purchasing an expensive ticket! I don't understand that. So, the next time I would just probably go to some beautiful church in the city instead of the palace.
Beautiful art pieces beautiful scenery about what you'd expect from a museum I preferred to look at the garden myself, other than that the Chapel and paintings themselves are really something to look at
Chapel is amazing.... We thought visit to state rooms was included, but it was shut. There was an art exhibition, was OK. Small but beautiful garden. They charge extra to use the toilet !!!!!! Amazing church, not great value.
The chapel is outstanding, fantastic, awesome and mind blowing. Fantastic gardens with a nice cafe and great staff. We could not see the apartments as they are only open Friday till Monday. So there is a reduced ticket price.
