Well the answer is, to an extent, yes. Tipu Sultan Summer palace is relatively small, whatever you need to see - you can see from the ground floor. Nothing that you would miss in terms of access to up-stairs. However, it is advised to be careful at all times.

No, Tipu Sultan Palace and Mysore Palace aren’t the same.
