Traveler Tips
- It’s important to be aware that purchasing a ‘skip-the-line’ pass may not guarantee immediate entry, particularly for parties smaller than 18 people. In such cases, you may be placed in a standard queue and could experience a wait time of up to an hour before gaining admission. It’s advisable to plan accordingly for potential delays.
- Booking a ‘skip-the-line’ pass is indeed an effective way to bypass the lengthy queues, offering a streamlined entry to visit historic landmarks. This method not only saves time but also provides the opportunity to gain valuable insights into the sites’ history, enhancing the overall experience.
- Merely passing by such a magnificent structure as a drive-by or on a walk isn’t sufficient to appreciate its grandeur. To truly experience the awe-inspiring nature of this historical edifice, one should venture inside to explore and understand its architectural brilliance and historical significance fully.
