Your guide will share stories of royal guests such as Empress Eugénie of France, Shah Nasruddin of Persia, and Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia. Please note: The palace is closed on Mondays. This tour is not available on Mondays.

Camlica Hill

It’s a perfect spot for photos or simply taking in the serenity of the city from above.

Optional Shopping Break
