    Take the time to visit it!

    We knew very little about the palace, but it was a very good decision to visit it. The stairway is spectacular, so are the beautifully decorated rooms. From one of the back windows you have the most spectacular view of the bridge and Duro river!

    Visitor experience could be improved

    Next door to the cathedral. Highlight was the staircase and ceiling. It will only take about 15 minutes to visit the palace as the bishop is still living in parts of the building. No information boards but there are staff to ask questions about the...More
