Amazing Experience! We got there at our time slot and we only waited 15min to get in. I 100% recommend buying the combined ticket to see the palace and the gardens, two totally different views and environment, you won't regret.

I loved the gardens, they were so big and beautiful! We entered the gardens in the morning and used the reentry options via the dragon gate, to extend our visit after we went to the chateau. We also followed a walking tour (organised in the official app), which I would recommend. Afterwards you can still explore on your own. The Palace was also very nice and big, with a lot of guided audio options.

Great service, there were even emails and I got great help with my order. It's just a shame that they didn't advise that you can't take a look at the garden or that the garden is not included in this category.

There was a delay of .5hours with our guide. Guide was excellent but they should carry flags. Many times we could hear his voice but had no idea where he was located, sometimes in another room! Visitors should be aware that you must know what guide service Headout utilizes.. My ticket and payment was not enough for sign in. Our guide service was Visit Paris. This was very confusing and we felt that we may not be able to do the tour.

The tour has only 20 people. It was very quiet and informative in a private area on the palace. The guide was very happy to answer questions and knew a lot about the tour we were on. After the tour was over we went into the public viewing areas and these were full of people which made it difficult to see anything. We did get to the hall of mirrors, and that was a 'must see' part of the palace. I highly recommend the tour.

Top things to do in Paris

Things to know before booking your Palace of Versailles tickets

  • Tickets to the Palace of Versailles are timed, meaning you must choose a specific time slot for your visit. This ticket grants you entry to the Palace within 30 minutes of your chosen slot.
  • Due to the Palace’s popularity, tickets often sell out 2-3 months in advance, so be sure to book well in advance. 
  • The Versailles Estate is made up of several areas worth visiting. The Palace is the central attraction, including highlights like the Hall of Mirrors, the King and Queen’s apartments, and the Gallery of Battles. Tickets to the Palace also include access to the Gallery of Coaches, right outside the Palace gates.
  • To fully appreciate the Palace's rich history, opt for a guided tour. These tours offer valuable insights and help you navigate the vast complex, ensuring you don’t miss anything important.
  • Certain areas of the Palace, like the Royal Chapel, Royal Opera, and the King’s Private Apartments, are inaccessible to the public. However, exclusive private tours provide access to these sections while still allowing you time to explore the rest of the Palace independently afterward. With a dedicated entrance to the Palace, these tours also allow you to skip the long entry lines at the Palace.
  • The Park is free to visit daily, as are the Gardens, except on days the Musical Gardens (April-October) or the Fountain Shows (April-October) are held. On these days, entry is restricted to ticket holders, with free entry for children under six.
  • If you have already visited the Palace and just want to visit the estate, we have dedicated tickets for just that.
  • Forfull access to the Versailles estate —including the Palace, Gardens, and Trianon Estate—the passport ticket is your best option. It offers excellent value for money, granting you entry to all areas with just one ticket.
  • If you're visiting from Paris, consider tickets that include round-trip bus transfers. Whether you opt for a standard Palace ticket, guided tour, or passport ticket, adding transfers simplifies logistics, allowing you to focus on enjoying your visit.
  • The Palace offers free entry on the first Sunday of each month, from November to March. However, you still need to book a time slot in advance to be allowed entry. Expect larger crowds on these days.
