Wow! I haven't been in a museum in a while, but this one blow me away! So much history and beauty, it is hard to describe and even the photos can't quite show how impressive and amazing the place is. I had an amazing time and if you are in the area I highly recommend visiting the Ducale Palace.

Waren am 21.05.2023 hier gewesen und haben das Palazzo mit der Camera degli Sposi besichtigt. Ein wirklich sehr schönes und riesiges Gebäude mit unzähligen Sälen und Garten. Der Eintritt kostete 15 Euro pro Person. Dieser Preis war unserer Meinung gerechtfertigt!

The beautiful Palazzo Ducale is easily accessible as it is the heart of the city of Mantova. From the outside you can perceive it’s size, but once you’re visiting it on the inside you get to understand what a labyrinth it actually is. Is has a incredible amount of rooms, which almost all of them have been restored to their best state. Their ceilings are known to be one by one a masterpiece in themselves. It’s a real treat to the eye, a visit to this palace. This visit will take you some time though, as it is so large inside. Good to know is that tickets are free for architecture students, as long as you prove it.

Truly palatial as we would say, dozens of rooms stuffed with magnificent treasures, entrancing views, stunning tapestries by Raphael, frescoes by Mantegna, Grechetto’s finest canvas, antique sculpture, more painted ceilings than you could ever imagine, secret gardens… it goes on and on. Definitely put it on the top of your list along with the stunning and bizarre Palazzo Te on the outskirts of the city—Guilio Romano had a hand in both projects.

Exquisite labyrinthine complex of wonderful architectural spaces and sublime works of art.

Honestly, I expected more from this palace, as a lot of people I know have always raved about it. The first part of the building is empty, with some dark paintings, therefore very ugly. The second part, however, is really very beautiful. About Camera degli Sposi, I thought it was more beautiful sincerely, but it's still nice to see it btw. However, what I didn't like at all is that you have to leave your umbrellas/things at the entrance, you have to put your backpack in front of you (literally no sense) and they are absolutely faithful to the time of entry. Too many people giving themselves importance in this museum...To then recover the things left at the entrance, you must exit completely and re-enter from where you entered. If it rains you literally get wet. Absolutely an awful management

Stunning! A must visit while in Mantova. Very good English descriptions in every displayed rooms.

Vast palace complex with very grand decorations and some lovely paintings. We had some difficulty finding our way around though. There was one section in particular that was shown on the map and we just could not figure out how to get there. Another section on the map didn't seem to be open.

(Translated by Google) Gorgeous building in the center of Mantua! We haven't had time, but I recommend the guided tour to understand the meaning of the frescoes, tapestries ... (Original) Palazzo stupendo nel centro di Mantova! Noi non ne abbiamo avuto il tempo, ma consiglio la visita guidata per capire il significato degli affreschi, degli arazzi...

Great surprise in Montova which Is by no means the best known city of Italy, but this palace felt more as it was at the time than other more re-designed places. And if your kids know their Greek mythology (Illiad and Odyssey) this is like a giant comic strip. Don’t let the kids miss the horses painted on the roof. They change direction when the looker moves! Much more spectacular than Mona Lisa looking your way at the Louvre in Paris!

(Translated by Google) This palace of the fam. Gonzaga I can describe it with one word: Fantastic. If you are in the area it is a must visit. (Original) Questo palazzo della fam. Gonzaga lo posso descrivere con una sola parola:Fantastico. Se siete in zono é da visitare assolutamente.

Impressive building with a seemingly endless array of rooms, some of which are quite impressive but there are so many and they are so similar that despite being surrounded by frescoes and carved ceilings, I actually found myself somewhat bored after a while.

Half of exhibits are not accessible. Audioguide not working. Entry - 15E

Absolutely huge Palace with reportedly 1000 rooms. Not all open to the public. Awesome ceilings, paintings, frescos, artifacts etc and courtyard gardens. Has a one way route and it takes a long time to get around. So in the end a sensory overload.

Beautiful inside but plenty of close areas due to processing the renovations.

A must. There are so many paintings and so many rooms that 2 hours are enough just to understand it's beauty. The Italian Buckingham Palace. Judge you if it's better or not. Enjoy

(Translated by Google) Magical .. with the help of the tour guide you can descend into past centuries A must see visit Mantua (Original) Magico..con l aiuto della guida turistica ci si cala in secoli passati Assolutamente da vedere visitate Mantova

Well kept and organized museum. However, many exhibits were either missing information or having it only in italian. If you buy the ticket from counter, pay attention to entry time. Although it wasn’t told, the validity of the ticket is for particular entry times. Overall worth seeing.

(Translated by Google) Exceptional and unique. (Original) Eccezionale e unico.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful in about an hour and a half you can visit (Original) Bellissimo in circa un'ora e mezza si può visitare

(Translated by Google) Because it is history and art are always interesting to know how they have unfolded in the past (Original) Perché lo è storia e arte sono sempre interessanti sapere come si sono svolte in passato

(Translated by Google) Taking and managed well (Original) Tenuto e gestito benissimo

(Translated by Google) Well maintained, beautiful works, good access price. (Original) Ben tenuto ,opere bellissime.prezzo di accesso buono.

It was a very nice place to visit. if you are younger than 26 it cost only 2 euros if you are older you have to pay 16 euros. Don't bring big backpacks with you, they make you carry it in the hand or on the front.

Stunning Mantegna frescos. Best to visit out of season to avoid the crowds and you can spend some wonderful moments with a Veronese master. Unforgettable.

Einfach toll! Von außen nicht viel erwartet, aber drinnen richtig schön und gewaltig. Wirklich sehenswert

Fabulous and interesting. Worth a visit.

Luckily, I spend about 5mins alone in the “Bridal‘s chamber”. Except Andrea Mantegna’s work, most impressive part to me is Roma gallery and the Troy apartment.jin

Amazing museum, very organised and there's lots to see for everyone, you can admire the beautiful architecture, the courts and the rooms inside have very helpful descriptions, in italian, english and german. There's art exhibitions you can look at, all organised and well documented pieces. There's old artefacts, minerals, fossils, seashells, oddities, someting for everyone. (but please don't bring your small childern, i really don't see the reason for that) Be prepared although, it's a really long museum itinerary. There's also discounts for students.

Amazing place. Overload for the eyes, should go there 2 or 3x to really see it all. Would be great to have guided tours.

They have construction everywhere, stairs standing around and for 16€ entrance they should mention either or give a discount. I don’t recommend going these days because it ruins the experience also considering 16€ is quite expensive, they should discount when having so much construction around.

Plan to come on a weekday because you can have the bridal chamber to yourself. We could tell that they were used to crowds but there was almost no one there at all. MUST SEE!! Do not skip this amazing palace when you are near Mantua. I can’t post photos of the beautiful interiors, but they will feed your soul.

The place itself is lovely but having missed THE sight (camera degli sposi) because I missed a sign, and went around to the entrance to explain (as advised in the gift shop) staff tried to insist I had to buy another 15 EUR ticket to re-enter - one lady in particular was VERY hostile and aggressive about it. It took a long time to persuade her that it made no sense, I’d purchased the ticket to see the room and had only spent an hour and 20 min going round the place! And I could prove I hadn’t seen the room by showing the photos I’d taken as I went round! Very very unwelcoming, felt more particularly hostile like airport security rather than staff welcoming visitors to a historical attraction.

When in Mantova, the Palazzo is definitely worth a visit.

Well maintained! great view if you come via the highway in a car.

Wonderful Place and a must see in Mantua. Historical and cultural highlight!

Great views from the top of castle. If the line to enter is not very long, it's definitely worth the visit.

(Translated by Google) If you are in Mantua you must see it. (Original) Se sei a Mantova devi vederlo.

I really enjoyed the whole experience. A glimpse back in time! Tastefully restored and well looked after. Thank you for sharing this experience in Mantova.

Amazing. I was very much positive surprised.

(Translated by Google) It is a well-preserved place, one of the fantastic pieces of the Italian mosaic that is too often underestimated and which represents the birth, indeed, the rebirth of our culture. (Original) È un luogo ben conservato, uno dei fantastici pezzetti del mosaico italiano che troppo spesso è sottovalutato e che rappresenta la nascita, anzi, la rinascita della nostra cultura.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic (Original) Fantastica

(Translated by Google) WONDERFUL. there are no words. Mantegna's paintings should be admired once a week. Curated exhibition, highly trained staff available to give some anecdote to slightly bored children. The only drawback, due to anti-covid provisions, the visit is limited and many rooms cannot be visited. Visited on a Friday, it was pretty much all for us. (Original) MERAVIGLIOSO. non ci sono parole. I dipinti del Mantegna andrebbero ammirati una volta la settimana. Mostra curata, personale preparatissimo e disponibile ad elargire qualche aneddoto ai bambini un po' annoiati. Unico neo, per via delle disposizioni anti covid la visita é limitata e tante stanze non possono essere visitate. Visitato di venerdì, praticamente era tutto per noi.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful places in Italy, full of charm and history, full of works of art. A jewel set in a beautiful city that has recently been revalued. In spite of its not gigantic dimensions it is rarely crowded and it is easy to find parking nearby. Online booking is recommended to choose times and days. (Original) Uno dei luoghi più belli d'Italia, pieno di fascino e storia, ricco di opere d'arte. Un gioiello incastonato in una città bellissima recentemente rivalorizzata. A dispetto delle non gigantesche dimensioni raramente é affollato e si trova facilmente parcheggio nelle vicinanze. Consigliata la prenotazione online per scegliere orari e giorno.

Just one of the mostly beautiful place in Verona. You can fell the history in this place.

Beautiful outside, some rooms are very sparse and some very ornate, but the ceilings were beautiful. Audioguide quality was so-so and there was a contemporary art exhibition in some of the rooms which had no explanations and made things a bit gruesome because of the blood& bodily innard themes which the artist seemed focused on.

Visit it with friends and experience the way that powerful families showed to the public the upper hand that had in every aspect of everyday life.

Worth enter price for all 100%! Enjoyed so much

Fantastic old town. Lot to see and visit. Great restaurants around. Beautiful place!

Grand beautiful place.

Lucky it was free. No idea why...however i have the feeling the payed tickets give acces to a way larger area of the palace complex. So basicly i just saw a small part. Still beautiful to visit.

(Translated by Google) Enchanting place fabulous roof garden and then the most beautiful room in the world room of the spouses (Original) Posto incantevole giardino pensile favoloso e poi la camera più bella del mondo camera degli sposi

Lovers Room. Magnificent Palace.

(Translated by Google) For those who love the Renaissance, it is spectacular (Original) Per chi ama il Rinascimento,è spettacolare

Amazing.

(Translated by Google) Worth a visit even if it doesn't seem like it from my judgment. I am critical because I found the exterior uncared for, the two internal courtyards did not convey the idea of ​​the pomp and cultural ferment of Renaissance Mantua. Even the first rooms, after the wedding room do not encourage you to continue .... but do it because it's worth it !! Even the ticket office would need a little more breathing room 😉 (Original) Merita una visita anche se non sembra dal mio giudizio. Sono critica perché ho trovato l'esterno poco curato, le due corti interne non trasmettevano l'idea del fasto e del fermento culturale della Mantova rinascimentale. Anche le prime sale, dopo la stanza degli sposi non invogliano a continuare....ma fatelo perché ne vale la pena!! Anche la biglietteria avrebbe bisogno di un po'più di respiro 😉

(Translated by Google) To visit. The Ligabue exhibition is worth seeing. (Original) Da visitare. La mostra di Ligabue e da vedere.

(Translated by Google) There is nothing to explain in front of beauty. (Original) Non c' è nulla da spiegare davanti alla bellezza.

(Translated by Google) The low score is certainly not for the building, but for the poor care of the museum itinerary. A first part with the Camera degli Sposi completely detached from its context and with a too modern entrance. In many rooms and halls the little and bad lighting did not allow to fully enjoy both the paintings, many more in need of at least a good cleaning, and the decorations and architecture. There are many beautiful coffers that decorate the ceilings and some spectacular halls and corridors, these well lit. I felt the lack of a guide and headphones were not available, perhaps due to the coronavirus. Perhaps creating an APP would have alleviated the problem. Sin (Original) Il punteggio basso non è sicuramente per il palazzo, ma per la scarsa cura del percorso museale. Una prima parte con la Camera degli Sposi completamente avulsa dal suo contesto e con un un'ingresso troppo moderno. In molte stanze e sale la poca e cattiva illuminazione non permetteva di godere di appieno sia dei quadri, per altro molti bisognosi quantomeno di una buona pulizia, che delle decorazioni e dell'architettura. Bellissimi molti dei cassettoni che decorano i soffitti e spettacolari alcuni saloni e corridoi, questi ben illuminati. Ho sentito la mancanza di una guida e non erano disponibili,forse a causa del coronavirus, le cuffie. Forse creare un APP avrebbe alleviato il problema. Peccato
