This is really a nice place to visit. Small, but well kept, it is an intersting historic landmark in the city. Probably too overused with events that fill it with people and destroy the gardens.

I was initially keen to get a glimpse of the crystal palace but it needs a bit of maintenance performed before it returns to its former glory in my opinion.

This is a very beautiful place. Glass and iron surrounded by nature bring the visitors a very relaxing sensation. Really good place to visit, a must see!

If enough time, you could go there and take peacefully an icecream or read a book; better if there's festivals or musical activities inside; not as big as the Crystal Palace at Retiro Park in Madrid, Spain.

It is one of that places with great potential but poor management. There is some lack of maintenance and as there was no exposition it was looking only like a big glass warehouse.

It's a big glass house, not more not less. Though the structure is nice in a traditional style, it's mostly empty all year round.

Not much to see, definitely no 'palace'. If you have the time you can go past to take a photo. The entrance is free.

The building is lovely and well maintained but it now houses a sales area for orchid growers and sellers. It's great if you are an orchid enthusiast to see the various species but as I tried to explain to a very disappointed seller, I can only take pictures since I can't bring one back home with me.

It's a glass house... Free admittance so go can see it all in one minute and then go to better places, Bohemia museum, imperial museum etc...

Nice for a short visit! Nothing to do apart from taking some pictures and nothing else! Beautiful structure brought from France!
