Plan to spend around 1.5 to 2 hours at Château d’Amboise for a well-paced visit. This gives you enough time to explore the royal apartments, see the Chapel of Saint-Hubert where Leonardo da Vinci is buried, walk through the landscaped gardens, and pause at the terraces for views over the Loire River and the town of Amboise. If you enjoy reading every display, taking photos, or spending extra time in the gardens, keep closer to 2.5 hours so the visit feels more relaxed.
