The Mysore palace is a beautiful heritage of India that is a must visit! The exquisitely designed interior is a marvel to see and experience! It's opulence is at par with any other palace worldwide. Do go and see it if you haven't already. Visiting at Dussehra time is even more worthwhile as the entire palace is lit up in the evening and you get to see the whole city of Mysore decorated! Loved it!

All together It was a good experience. The lighting was mesmerizing. On the other hand it was over crowded. Management needs to work on how to handle such a crowd. Need to have proper barricades at least at the shoe counter. Ticket price - Rs100 adult. The lightning on the beautiful palace will appear at 7:00pm.

It is a museum, so if you are interested in historical things, you can go for it.
Also this place is huge, and I loved most the interior design and crafts. A great place for photos too.
In any case, it's worth a visit.
There is a ticket to go inside the museum like inside the palace but you can roam freely and click photos, without tickets as the place is huge .

Palace is like a magical time machine in the middle of Karnataka, India. It's a stunning building with lots of intricate designs that tell stories about the past. Inside, there are beautiful rooms and a special hall called Durbar Hall that's really impressive. When the sun sets, the palace lights up and looks even more amazing. The gardens are pretty too, and the people who work there are really helpful. If you want to see what a real palace looks like and learn about history, Mysore Palace is the place to go. It's like stepping into a fairy tale!

Well maintained and clean. The palace is really beautiful with a big garden type area in front. It looks more beautiful at night with all light's decorations. Worth visiting. Though try to buy tickets online in advance, especially during weekends. Try not to go there in summer as it gets really hot inside.

Visited last weekend with friends. For the palace they will charge 100 rupees/person and accept only cash payment.
For the light show in the evening 120 rupees/person.
Mysore Palace is a stunning architectural masterpiece that exhibits the splendor of Indian royalty. This is a place where visitors will be amazed by its intricate detailing, stunning domes, and beautiful courtyards, leaving them in awe. The palace has a great deal of history and cultural significance. The main highlights is the stunning evening lighting, where thousands of lights illuminate the palace, turning it into a magical view. Seeing the lighting ceremony is a must, as it brings the palace to life in a captivating way.
A paid parking lot is available.

Beautiful palace. Visited for the first time. Beautiful designs and unfortunately we couldn't see the view when the beautiful lights were on. Make sure to know the timings when they on the light. On Sunday they have it for one hour I guess from 8-9. Ticket price is 100/- per head
