Palais des Papes Concerts 2025

An amazing place with a history that makes you think about the "infallibility and unity" of the Catholic Church. Nevertheless, the palace itself, its vastness and splendor inspire respect and admiration. How were people in those times able to build something so huge and so solid at the same time!? Wonderful cloisters, walls and courtyards. Huge spaces of halls inside the palace. Incredible.

The Histopad elevated our educational experience- hope to see this technology with other historical sites. It also allowed us to spread out and avoided everyone hovering over a single sign to read. Definitely allow yourself 2 hours minimum for the tour. We bought the combined ticket with the gardens and bridge. If you’ve made it all this way, I say don’t skip on paying for any of them, although the bridge was nothing to write home about. Recommend going early in the morning or in the later afternoon to avoid massive tour groups that trample everyone else trying to enjoy the tour.

Really worth a visit and we prebooked an excellent guide ( in English). You can easily book online. The building is amazing, full of history and we could also visit the pretty palace garden with our guide as part of the tour. The guide made everything clearer than if we’d walked around with just the audio/Histopad guide.

Innovative experience with a VR tablet. It doesn't work so well, but it's a cool idea. Everything else, is just another huge proof of how the Catholic Church has been collecting riches while their people starve.

There are two rooms with pretty frescoes, the rest are just empty rooms, the 3D reconstruction by tablet is more of a kid's thing, a bit boring and not pretty either. What is interesting is the view from above, the outside architecture and the history of the place obviously.
