What travelers say about Mysore
Caitlyn 凯琳October 6, 2026
5.0
Mysore Palace is one of those places that photographs beautifully but feels even more impressive in person. The Indo-Saracenic architecture, intricate interiors, stained glass, carved doors and enormous courtyards make it feel almost unreal.What I loved most was the sheer opulence of it — every room seems to have another detail competing for your attention. It’s grand without feeling completely sterile, because you can still feel the history of the Wadiyar dynasty throughout the palace.Definitely worth visiting if you’re in Mysore. I’d recommend going slowly rather than simply walking through for the sake of seeing it. There’s far too much detail to take in at once.★★★★★
