From my point of view, when you take a tour, let me say. like a "tour bus". What you are being shown is only the lustrous of the history in question. To really see, feel and experience the true dept of the history your looking at, you need to step off the path and dig about the back roads, when comparing the AP with the CP. It’s like night and day. The CP has been rebuilt and polished to a high shine. While the AP as been left raw within her state of disrepair. It’s apparently clear that what the general tourist wants to see is the polished glamour of what these palaces looked like "the amber room" with all its entire splendor. When visiting the CP one can actually see and feel that CP wasn’t just a home but a true Palace. Where as the AP was more raw in it’s charm. It was a working palace, even though it was more of a home than it was a palace. In comparison with the palaces that one would vision a King/Queen living in.
Also given the events of that happened within the AP that side of history is far less glamorous, than the events of what happened within the CP .It really comes down to the draw of the money.the CP has the draw where as the AP does not. But for those of us who are true history buffs. The AP and the events that went on within her walls are far more attractive than any of the rooms within the CP that have been done over.
