- Mina NaazSeptember 20, 2015Every Sunday, from 7 pm to 7.30 pm, Mysore Palace turns into an illuminated icon of the city. It is really an exhilarating experience to watch the illuminated palace.Upvote25Downvote
Joshua HaftelNovember 21, 2015Beautiful building but you're constantly herded through like cattle (actually, I bet you'd be treated better if you were cattle). Floors are clean and lots of fun people to chat with at least.Upvote7Downvote
Ankur MathurSeptember 29, 2013Leave your camera at the free camera deposit counter. If they later find it in your bag at the entrance (they xray scan it), you have to walk all the way back to deposit.Upvote6Downvote
Sanjay KamathAugust 9, 2019The iconic Palace in India. Must visit if you're in Mysore and also during the Dasara Festival. Take a official tour guide here. They'll charge Rs. 250 for a group.UpvoteDownvote
KateJune 22, 2023Architecture and design is a mix of Hindu, European, and Persian. This combo can only be found at the Mysore Palace which makes it uniqueUpvoteDownvote
Sandeep PaiAugust 27, 2014One of the BEST places in the world. Mysore is know for Dasara celebration and the Palace. A must visit place!Upvote1Downvote

Gregory K.September 2, 2019Palace is iconic but a bit run downed (a little disappointing). When crowded they do herded you through it making it annoying to learn and absorb it. Interior architecture is interesting.

Krupesh FalduJune 15, 2014If coming by private vehicle keep your camera inside car. Don't keep shoes in car, there is place to keep your shoes.UpvoteDownvote
VivekDecember 23, 2018Do not visit on a weekend or in December! Just chaos and they force everyone to walk through the entire palace. Complete letdown and disorganised.UpvoteDownvote
Simon HipwellMarch 14, 2015Get there early, no shoes in the palace or museum, you can only take pictures outside.UpvoteDownvote- SwaroopNovember 18, 2012Make sure to rent out the Audio guides (like a sony walkman) instead of the costlier guides if you're 1-2 personsUpvote1Downvote
