🎟️ How to book — Free entry

1
No booking
Just show up during the posted opening hours — most of these events (markets, open-air exhibitions, traditional ceremonies) have no ticketing system at all.
2
A free signup can unlock reserved areas
For some popular events (royal guard ceremonies, cultural workshops), a free online signup unlocks a priority viewing area or a capacity-limited session — check the event listing for a signup link.

💡 Good to know

Double-check hours on the official site the day before: municipal events sometimes change their schedule without much notice.
