Definitely worth visiting and recommended too. Its relatively a new one and grand in its architecture. Though its supposed to be working presidential palace it feels more like a museum. The interiors glitter with chandeliers and the intricate carvings and paintings are not to be missed. Overall an architectural grandeur. A must visit!!!
