Spend Where It Teaches
- Audioguide/Guide if narrative enriches pattern decoding.
- Royal Apartments only for furnished protocol interest.
- Timed Entry if peak season crowd avoidance preserves focus.
Save Through Planning
- Refillable water strategy.
- Simple pre-visit snack to avoid mid-tour overpriced impulse.
- Memory capture: choose a single small printed guide over multiple trinkets.
Basic Cost Framework (Indicative Ratios)
| Item | Relative Weight | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Base Ticket | Core | Access to layered architecture |
| Guide/Audioguide | Medium | Increases interpretive yield |
| Royal Apartments | Optional | Specific interior interest |
| Souvenirs | Low | Often low incremental insight |

Bottom Line
Invest in interpretation and comfort; minimize shallow memorabilia — let informed attention be the true souvenir.
