Nice place.
Best days to visit : Monday to Friday
Avoid Weekends and Public Holidays. Gets very crowdy
Timings : till 5:30 pm only
You need to take an entry ticket for ₹100 per person and then enter, deposit your shoes/slippers and then go for a tour inside the palace. After the tour, you come back, collect your slippers and go towards the garden area (in front of the palace).
The real beauty of the palace can be seen when the lights are up. Slowly slowly they will turn on the lights and at 7 pm sharp, the palace will be lighted up fully. The lights are there from 7 pm till 9 pm. Musical show will also start from 7 pm.
My suggestion would be to enter the palace around 4:30-4:45. Go for a tour inside come back by 5:30 or so. And then stay till 7 in the garden roaming outside and once you see the lights and music show, you can leave.

It is a great place to visit. The place was very beautiful architecture wise but it is usually crowded on the weekend and public holidays. I recommend you to better visit in a weekday in the morning times so that you can have your leisure time to view the pace and its beauty.
I also want to share my experience over the palace the architecture of the palace go in deeper into the palace was very beautiful outside. It is a normal view point where we will see the palace image in the Internet so please do visit into the Palace.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful. We travel all over the world to see beautiful castles and palaces - this definitely is among the great ones, right here in our India. Highly recommend a tour guide - helps understand the history better and shows the things that we would otherwise miss.
Beautiful palace, well worth visiting when you're in Mysore. I believe you can pay a guide to show you around and explain the history, but we opted to take the tour ourselves. You are directed one way around the palace. At the time we went it was very busy (10 in the morning) and there were thick crowds of school kids on tours. You need to take your shoes off before entering the palace, but the floors are comfortable. You can pay a small fee to keep your shoes in a bag behind a counter.
The temple within the palace grounds is also worth visiting for anyone who likes to pay their respects regardless of religion. It was very quiet by contrast to the palace, only a few observants praying.
The light show is apparently beautiful, though we did not get a chance to go. It happens in the evening, and gives a spoken history of Mysore, in English from Thursday to Saturday and in Kannada from Monday to Wednesday.

Wow very big palace, well maintained. It was fully crowded when we visited. It's better if you visit on non-public holidays. Can spend more time on watching every floors. Night palace lightings are more attractive. This you should not miss. When we visited Flower show was there.
Its a good historical palace maintained by Government. There are many old paintings pasted on its wall which tells its palace history and day today life of King, Queens, their children and how they live, what they wear, everything about them. Parking space is available here. Tickets is 100/- per head for adults. Inside the palace everyone has to go bare foot. Guides are available at outside hire them and get amaze by this palace.
This is the main attraction and beauty of Mysuru. People including foreigners visit this place. Must visit place. If you are staying in Sunday night, must not miss the illumination view from 7-8pm. I was lucky to see the beauty of this palace in sunlight, evening light and special Sunday evening light. It was one of my life time experience.
Spectacular view of the Palace. One of the master pices of India. This palace is very beautiful and very well maintained. One of the best places in Karnataka. This place has so much of historical significance.
Must visit.
Must visit place if you are planning for mysore. I have visited many palaces throughout India, this is the most royal one. Maintained at its best , it will be awesome if you visit during dasara. Seeing Palace at night time with lights on is of different level. This is one of the most visited place in India.
They have newly created new parking which is huge so parking is not at all a problem.
The Mysore Palace lighting spectacle is enchanting, with vibrant colors highlighting the palace's grandeur. The coordinated lights create a captivating ambiance, offering a visually stunning and culturally rich experience. This ceremony is a must-see, providing a memorable journey into the historical essence of this iconic landmark.
