Beste tid å besøke
Choose the last hour before sunset, when the fountain begins to light up with colors and the air above the water cools pleasantly. Weekday mornings offer empty paths and a mirror-like surface, perfect for peaceful photos.
Budsjettips
A walk through the gardens, like the evening fountain shows, is completely free. Just bring your own food from a nearby market to avoid inflated prices at the cafés by the water.
Anbefalt for

Om
Raske fakta: In the middle of the water surface stands a three-tier fountain from 1930, which lights up with colorful spotlights after dark. A flock of several dozen ducks and swans lives here all year round and swims up to strollers for crumbs.
Høydepunkter: The colorful reflections of the three-tier fountain drift across the water surface in the evening, and on a windless night falling droplets reflect the palace light like thousands of small coins. You will find the fewest people here at dawn, when a pair of swans has the water all to themselves and only the crunch of gravel underfoot comes from the garden.
Insidertips
- Come at dawn, when the water surface is smooth and the swans swim right by the shore.
- The best shot of the fountain is from the bridge on the palace side, where you have the afternoon sun behind you.
- Bring a light jacket, because the evening wind from the water can surprise you even in summer.
- Do not stretch your visit past an hour, because on weekends the benches and shaded spots disappear quickly.
