What people say, in short
City Palace draws broad recommendations for its museum, historic interiors and Lake Pichola views. Several visitors recommend a guide to understand what they are seeing, while one says a guide is unnecessary. The museum is less rewarding for people with little interest in history: some find the visit tiring or poor value, and crowding is a recurring complaint. Allow time rather than treating it as a quick stop; visitors disagree about whether morning or sunset is the better choice.
