Six Free-Admission Days a Year

Admission is free on six national holidays, which is unusually generous for a heritage site of this standing:

Each falls on a date directly connected to the site’s history. If your visit is flexible, these are the days to aim for.

Who Else Enters Free

Children under seven pay nothing. An attendant accompanying a visitor with a disability is admitted free, to a maximum of one per person.
