Tips
- Wednesday’s and Thursday’s are the best days for the visit.
- Avoid Saturdays, public holidays, and school holiday periods: during these days you can suffer a more than 2-hour wait in line!
- During high season the best way to avoid excessive queuing is to arrive 30-40 minutes before the opening time.
- The longest waiting lines usually build up by noon.
- During low season (from October to April, excluding holidays) waiting lines are usually short. On weekdays it won’t take you more than 10 minutes to enter the mausoleum.
Opening hours
