Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Book your tickets online in advance to secure your preferred entry time and potentially save money, as online prices are lower than at the entrance.
- Arrive after dusk to fully experience the magical light installations, but consider visiting earlier if you also want to explore the castle's exhibitions or enjoy the surrounding gardens in daylight.
- Dress warmly in layers, as the event takes place outdoors in the evening, and bring comfortable shoes for walking through the park.
- Check the weather forecast and dress accordingly; while there are indoor options for food and drink, much of the experience is outdoors.
- Consider taking public transport or walking/cycling if possible, as parking fees apply during the event, and it can be a scenic journey to the castle.
