Every Sunday, from 7 pm to 7.30 pm, Mysore Palace turns into an illuminated icon of the city . It is really an exhilarating experience to watch the illuminated palace .
Beautiful building but you're constantly herded through like cattle (actually, I bet you'd be treated better if you were cattle). Floors are clean and lots of fun people to chat with at least.
Leave your camera at the free camera deposit counter. If they later find it in your bag at the entrance (they xray scan it), you have to walk all the way back to deposit.
The iconic Palace in India. Must visit if you're in Mysore and also during the Dasara Festival . Take a official tour guide here. They'll charge Rs. 250 for a group.
Architecture and design is a mix of Hindu , European, and Persian. This combo can only be found at the Mysore Palace which makes it unique
One of the BEST places in the world. Mysore is know for Dasara celebration and the Palace . A must visit place!
Only gets me thinking how rich India;s culture is :) And there's a light show, from 7pm-8pm everyday. Couldn't get more beautiful!
Palace is iconic but a bit run downed (a little disappointing). When crowded they do herded you through it making it annoying to learn and absorb it. Interior architecture is interesting.
Definitely get the English audioguide if you're an English speaker. It's free with a foreigner ticket , and remarkably informative and fun!
History cannot get bigger than this . The Opulence and sheer extravagance is breathtaking .. Among the top 10 most popular historical places in south India.
Palace looks very nice lighted but one need to deal with million & one people trying to appreciate the beauty at the same time, especially on a holiday
so beautiful inside the palace ????????????
U cant capture the internal view in camra.... but definetly u ll capture the internel view in ur heart.... what a nice creativity.....
Super crowded on Sundays... no footwear allowed inside palace ... palace lights lit up only on Sunday 7pm to 7.30pm... worth watching!
The Palace of Mysore is a historical palace in the city of Mysore in Karnataka, southern India. Read more
A must historical trip, if you are visiting Mysore for the first time....breathtaking artitecture!
The entry ticket provides access to the palace and the adjacent temple . No camera , use the deposit box at the entrance.
Do not visit on a weekend or in December! Just chaos and they force everyone to walk through the entire palace . Complete letdown and disorganised.
If coming by private vehicle keep your camera inside car. Don't keep shoes in car, there is place to keep your shoes .
Get there early, no shoes in the palace or museum , you can only take pictures outside.
Make sure to rent out the Audio guides (like a sony walkman) instead of the costlier guides if you're 1-2 persons
Sunday evening 7pm onwards. The palace is illuminated for an hour. Entry to the complex is free. And worth a visit
Amazing place. Must visit once in lifetime
Go for the Sunday special light show. Amazing!
Must visit- Mysore palace- residential palace . 600 yrs old- much older than Main Palace !
Really nice place to visit with family and friends.
It would be great if you can take a guide available in the entrance of the palace . They tell you a lot more that would actually surprise you
Bring socks! You cannot tour the palace in your shoes .
Cameras not allowed inside the palace , students & foreign students touring here can carry their IDs for less and flawless entry fee.
Amazing architecture
Needs to visit in evening after 7pm yo see lightinig , Beautifull palace
Freat audio guide included in your foreigner ticket !
Visit the Palace park (outside) any day at 7pm to see it illuminated by 1 million lights.
Go late and stay for them to turn on the lights.
Lot of antiques and jewels preserved for posterity
Read every information given! Its all worth.
Palace is lit up only on weekend evenings. Check timings and plan for it.
the royal view maysuru
It´s a very beautifull place....recomended to anyone. Can´t go to Mysore and leave without knowing the Palace .
I like this place for evening lights and heritage.
They will ask for money to keep footwear and use washroom but its free
Don't miss the tour inside the main palace . Avoid the second tour inside the smaller older palace .. not worth it.
Awesome on weekends, especially the lighting at evenings.
The admission is open at 10 AM.
Cameras are officially not allowed inside the Palace , so you need to deposit at a counter outside. Preferably, leave it behind in your car.
Watch our for elephant poo whilst walking around bare footed !
interesting part is the tonga ride outside the palace .. :)
Check out the lights on Sundays 7-745pm
Cool thing to visit in Mysore!
The scenery is mesmerising.
Nice place for kids when the toy train is functional. And for those who have interest in trains - Kushal Ashok
Nice ambience a peculiar design of hotel! To topbit up u got a swimming pool on top of the hotel! Great place to stay in Mysore! - Vinayak Mohanlal
Get a Camera Permit along with tickets. The Musical Fountain show is definitely worth the camera fee. Take the path along the lake rather than the boat, let's you take some amazing snaps. - Hiren
If you're like me and love wide angle photography. You should walk down a bit across the side of the temple from where you can get the really wide view of Mysore city. - Jash Jacob
