Important Information

Last admission is usually 1 hour before closing; some routes are timed.

Early morning or late afternoon offers softer light and fewer crowds.

Reserve in advance — guided tours and peak times often sell out.

Some Patrimonio Nacional sites offer free hours; policies change — check the official website.
