Ducal Palace Museum complex at Mantua: is it possible to visit it in the morning and come back in the afternoon for a visit to Corte Vecchia?
I'm planning to visit Ducal Palace Museum complex at Mantua this summer. As far as I know, it's advisible to book a ticket in advance since they allow a maximum of 1500 visitors per day at Camera degli Sposi, which enter in small groups at regular intervals. When you book a ticket, they ask you to select a visiting time. Nevertheless, Corte Vecchia, a part of the museum complex, opens only in the afternoon, from 1.45 p.m. to 7.15 p.m.
Now, my question is: if you book the ticket that allows the complete visit to the complex, selecting a visiting time in the morning, and visit the museum in the morning, it would be possible to go out from the museum premises and then come back in the afternoon to visit Corte Vecchia with the same ticket?
Best Answer
After reading and interpreting the information in the official website, my understanding is that yes you are allowed to leave and come back later in the afternoon to see Corte Vecchia. Indeed it opens only in the afternoon so you will not be expected to sit outside of its doors and wait if you are done with your morning visits of the rest of the museum. The tickets are individual and give access to each part separately.
Upon booking you'll be given a time slot for everything but Corte Vecchia so i deduct that you'll be allowed to show up whenever you please for the visit, provided you do so within visiting hours.
