Auch wenn man kein Opernfreund ist, so lohnt es sich trotzdem, an einer Führung der Semperoper teilzunehmen. Die Geschichte dahinter ist sehr interessant, vor allem aber diese wunderschöne Architektur. Das Residenzschlosses hat mich total begeistert: beeindruckende Räume und tolle Ausstellungen.

War eine schöne Erfahrung. Die Iper ist wunscherschön und das Schloss macht auch so einiges her. In der Iper hat man eine 45min Führung. Diese war sehr informativ. Wir haben auch direkt einen Platz bekommen, ist nur die Fragey ob man zur Hauptbesuchszeit immer direkt Plätze in einer Führung bekommt. Manchmal war es etwas doof, weil mehrere Führungen gleichzeitig stattfanden und die Guides dann jeweils von anderen fast überbrüllt wurden. Das Residenzschloss ist zienlich gros und wie ein Irrgarten, aber irgendwann kommt man schon raus und es gab auch genug Personal, das man notfalls hätte fragen können. Leider gslt das Ticket nicht für das historische grüne Gewölbe. Das Angebot direkt noch Karzen dafür kaufen zu können wäre gut gewesen. Und direkt vor Ort waren dann alle Karten für diesen Tag ausverkauft, weil das offensichtlich Zeitkarten sind. Das war sehr schade, ein extra einteitt und ein Drehkreuz für Personenbeschränkung hätten es auch getan. Alles in Allem aber ein gelungener Tag

Die Besichtigung des Schlosses und der Oper war super. Man musste nur leider eine Uhrzeit telefonisch vereinbaren und da wir das iwie überlesen hatten mussten wir spontan ein Termin machen, weil wir aber noch andere Termine hatten mussten wir dazwischen gepackt werden. Danke dafür an das Personal das hat super geklappt. Bei anderen Attraktionen konnte man schon bei der Buchung eine Uhrzeit angeben. Wäre hier auch empfehlenswert.
