The Building isn't big, so just 2 rooms full of photos of Sultan Deli's family and some furniture. No body can explain about the history, just picture and some words. For me, it's not fair enough with 10.000 Rupiah/each person (weekend). You just can do photos there and actually they serve photos service with traditional clothes you can wear, count 50.000 Rupiahs/each person. The park is big enogh and no need to pay. At the park there is horse u can ride. I dont recommend this place for u.

a piece of history not too well preserved. it's not in a condition to be a public exhibit. filled with souvenir shops, not well maintained. quite shabby. if the late sultan were raised from the dead, he wouldve been furious of what his palace have become today.

The entry ticket only IDR 5K. But there's nothing to see except the building and some history behind it. The palace is not all accessable and there is traditional clothes rental inside so if you want to take pictures in traditional clothes and heritage background,this place is great place for you to visit. There is a place with piece of cannon that have tale behind it

It just a building was called a sulthan palace
The sulthan him self is not stay there, not so many things can you see in this place but can see how great the kingdow was.

Here you find pictures of the sulthan
With the entrance ticket 5K for local, they offer visitors to take picture in traditional melayu outfitsit was a nice and unexpected experiences me and my wife feel
With only 100K for couple, they will fit you like a king and queen or they "Panglima", pluusssss you will get 1 printed photograph of you as your souvenir back home

You must try that one

A must see when in Medan. Very unique and so full of history. Very fun to rent clothes like a king and make pictures - it's also cheap. Very colourful and contemporary. So many mixed cultures in the ubication of the place. Don't expect to spend hours here as its very small.
Buy some local purses from the local vendors outside and remember to bargain down the price. I got 15/1-2018 10 pcs purses for 80.000 IDR /5,1 USD / 7.56 SGD /34 DKK

the majestic palace of the deli sultanate. visit Maimun, do not forget to be a day Melayu. By wearing traditional Malay clothes, it seems like a flashback to the glorious era of Maimun Palace. Feel the thrill of wearing a typical Malay traditional dress and walk around the palace, guaranteed addiction.

The palace from the Kingdom of Deli. There are numerous mini buses that can bring you here. However, there isn't much that you can do here aside from learning the history of the palace and taking some pics. You can rent traditional outfit for some pics inside. The outside of the palace is what makes it look great. The interior of the palace will most likely be crowded by people for you to find a great pic. There' also the 'Split Cannon', a cannon of the Kingdom of Deli which got cut in half. It's in a separate building near the palace. You may put your ear against the small hole of the cannon and may hear something. Entrance fee for the palace is IDR 5K and IDR 3K to see the cannon. Finding the right time to come will be the key for some great pictures here (morning just when it's just opened for public).

preserve palace of melayu culture in Medan, North Sumatera.
Unfortunately, the palace it self not mantain well.
nonetheless, it must see historical site if you visit Medan.
Another atraction beside the palace itself, is opportunity to try prince and princess costum and pretend to be the royal. But you must pay Rp. 50k.

Maimun Palace or Maimoon Palace(Indonesian: Istana Maimun) is an istana(royal palace) of the Sultanate of Deli and a well-known landmark in Medan, the capital city of North Sumatra, Indonesia. Today, it serves as a museum.
Built by Sultan Ma'mun Al Rashid Perkasa Alamyah in years 1887–1891, the palace was designed by the Dutch architect Theodoor van Erp and covers 2,772 m² with a total of 30 rooms. The Palace has become a popular tourist destination in the city, not solely because of its historical heritage status, but also because of its unique interior design of the palace, combining elements of Malay cultural heritage, Islamic and Indianarchitecture, with Spanish and Italianfurniture and fittings.

Good historical place. So many people there. Just be patient for trying the traditional costume. 5000 idr entrance. Need to be managed more

Nothing much to see with no tour guide to explain. Just a small place with IDR 5000 entrance fee per person. Just a good thing that you could rent some 'prince' and 'princess' cloths for taking pictures with just as low as IDR 10000.

an interesting place with significant historical value, but neglected and poorly managed by whoever bear the responsibility. on the plus side, enjoy the architecture and overwhelm yourself with the grandeur of the bygone era.

This palace should be a complex with Masjid Raya. Unfirtunately, it is not. I am dissapointer with the local government who doesn't care about heritage.

Sunday is not the right day to visit this palace. It was packed and you can’t even appreciate its exterior beauty and interior design. There are traditional performance held outside Istana Mamun and you can sit there just to enjoy it (they prepared few seats for tourists). You can even try the traditional malay attire as there are few businesses cater for it is set up in the palace.

A great way to see and feel some of the Indonesian and colonial history. The building itself is amazing with its architecture. We got a chance to listen to some live music, which we really enjoyed. We hired some sultan outfits and took some pictures. The people were friendly and made our stay a memorable one, you may notice why (people lined up to take selfies with us foreigners in sultan clothes).

There no sign like 'welcome' 'this way' and else, first impression its not good. Ticket its cheap, and u must take off ur shoe to get in. Its a good decor inside the palace. Expensive wall decor, furniture, accesories etc. As you can see the floor is dirty and my sock get dark colour. My mom said 'disini orangnya mataduitan' . I dont know why my mom said that. Peace

This is an iconic tourism in Medan , North Sumatera. Located nearby Masjid Raya , this palace not only has a great architecture , furthermore maimoon palace has a great history as the heritage place in this city. this spot is recommended to you .Inside TheMaimoon Palace contains the heritages of sultan deli. You also can wear The Costume of deli malay here.

Historical Place in Medan. This is the Palace of Sultan Deli and its Kingdom. Rich of History and pleasure. Near to Masjid Raya Medan, Yuki SimpangRaya Mall, and TJONG A Fie Memorial house.

It was well kept and the historical panels tell the story. What i dont like: the insides are full of shops it lost ita royal aura and there are laundry hangin out of of the palace's side. what i love: the dressup for photoops and the live Melayu music with visitors singing along and havin a great time.

It's a 20 minute walk from Tjong A Fie mansion to this palace. And as there are not many heritage buildings to see in Medan, one does wander along. First impression: grounds are not well kept. The buiding itself is very nice and one can wonder around a bit. The inside, as many before me described, is disappointing. 2 rooms can be visited of which one is a small bazaar. There is not much to see and it all leaves an impression of poor maintenance. I think the building desserves much better. Anyway for 'only' 5.000 Rp one should go and have a look.

As the palace is partly home to the family of my girlfriend i might be looking upon it slightly different than an average tourist. Her granddad's picture is on the wall there, that makes it special.

There is always lot's of people and especially the school classes think it interesting to meet with us foreigners but it's also the friendly nature of the people and their curiosity as to where you are from.

The palace is well cared for, the main hall is accessible to public and you can dress up like a radja or crown prince or princess and have your photograph taken. On the right side there are tableau's which tell you the history of Medan and it's rulers from the early days till now.

Meh, pretty underwhelming, dimly lit and half taken up by souvenir vendors. The local style strong black coffee outside was definitely the highlight of the visit.

It looks really nice from the outside, it has interesting architecture and colors. But inside, there's only a bunch of shops. The only interesting thing is the throne and maybe some of the photos. The place is obviously not well-managed. For the money you pay to get there though, it's worth it as long as you just happen to have the time to do it.

It was close last time I came to Medan (5pm it closes). Good idea is to visit this place the same day as visiting the Tjong a fie mansion as they are nearby. Also the Grand Majid is just 100m from there so don't take a taxi, just walk! (alternatively do it in beca/pedicab for the fun)

In itself there isn't much to visit but in the scale of touristic attraction in Medan it is at the top (with Tjong a fie mansion) Would recommand highly if you have one day stop before/after going to Bukit lawang/Danau toba

Great palace that is able to make its way to stand still up to now. Often used as a place to attract many peolpe; e.g. dakwah, music concert, etc. Easily identified from the street in front of it due to its unique and vintage display

Great place to enjoy the history of Maimoun Palace
+ Located near grand mosque of Medan, only about 300 meters.
+ Cheap entrance ticket
+ You can rent traditional dress inside the palace, and it's very cheap
+ Feels like a king/queen wearing the traditional dress

First opinion when i saw that is good. But when i see inside thats awful. It smells body odor. In the inside theres a kingdom couch and peoples come for photos. ITS LIKE A PHOTOSTUDIO inside there. If you like photograph just photograph the outside the building ITS BEAUTIFUL i admit it. When enters the palace body odor everywhere. If the guards read this PLEAASEE TAKE CARE THE BUILDING THATS AN OLD BUILDING!!!. For that just increase the tariff . When i went there, theres only 5000 IDR obviously its not take care enough
