Edit: my visit was BEFORE the pandemic, maybe they radically changed capacity and thus lead to a much better experience!
It’s a beautiful place (just talking aesthetics, not why it even exists) but this is one of the very few moment in the tour when you won’t feel like a sheep or cattle. The place is open few days a year so when it is open it is PACKED. You go from room to room with dozens of others people, walk in sync… this specific room is the largest, by far, so it appears peaceful but I can assure you if you do the normal visit, it will not be a moment of calm.
Imagine the subway during rush hour but surrounded by plants. Still worth checking it once but just warning that the experience will not be one of being lost in nature.
Why isn’t it opened throughout the year?
How many people work there to maintain that place? I can imagine all that work is not done by one person.

A bit surprised by some comments here. I really loved it there and it didn’t feel overcrowded in any way. Ofcourse it was a weekday so maybe that makes the difference. Also i spent about 3 hours there so it felt really worth the 5 euros. The outside gardens are really beautifull as well and interesting to see.

Nice. I booked a ticket for next week.
All tickets are sold out.
I went there before, felt so natural.
Take a look at my photos from that day! [https://photography.boolat.net/20-04-22](https://photography.boolat.net/20-04-22)
Don’t get fooled people.
