Remember the animated immortal movies like Snow White and Cinderella and other Disney enchanting stories where princesses and kings and queens hold a banquet inside the palace? A visit to the hall of mirrors literally brings you to the location/scene when you step inside the massive hall of mirrors! It’s a grandiose display of chandeliers and glass windows. When you look out the windows, you will definitely see the picturesque huge gardens of the Palace. But if I were to name it, I would call it “hall of glass” instead of hall of mirrors. I could count with my fingers, the number of mirrors. But just the same, you would say tjj on yourself, “ So this is how royalties live!

I am a seasoned traveller and have seen many palaces, The Hall of Mirrors must be the most beautiful palace hall I have every seen in my life. However, it was so crowded (I visited in July 2023 before the school holidays started) that I did not feel any special emotions that I expected and certainly should have but did not experience when standing in the room where kings and queens were having ball receptions and noble people had all sorts of discussions. When you see the main photo of this attraction, please expect to be in the room with hundreds of other tourists. While it spoils the magic it is still a very special place and a must see!

The Hall of Mirrors is a spectacular mix of painted ceilings, chandeliers, statues and light, and doesn't disappoint. What does is the absolute hordes of people cramming into it, making it impossible to enjoy its full beauty - hence the 'average' rating. Imagine a football crowd queueing for the turnstiles - THIS is the Hall of Mirrors on a Sunday morning in November
