Things to know before booking your tickets

Booking window

Tickets for this experience are only available online and may sell out during peak times. It’s wise to book at least 2–3 weeks in advance (As of 2023‑10‑27) to ensure availability and avoid last‑minute rushes.

What’s included

Your standard ticket grants access to all public areas with self‑guided signage. Optional guided upgrades provide expert context and smoother navigation. Note that both formats require going through the same security checks.

Entrances & flow

Pre‑booked tickets let you bypass the ticket purchase queue but not security. Expect an additional 10–15 minutes for bag inspections and entry processing, especially during busy hours.

Ways to explore

Tickets allow flexible touring; choose self‑guided entry for independent exploration or upgrade to a guided option if you need help with language details or efficient routing.

Policies & rules

Local site rules apply, including potential extra fees and mobility restrictions. Review all inclusions carefully to avoid surprises when you arrive.
