Every nook and cranny is worth exploring, but if time is tight, here are the highlights. 1. Hall of Mirrors This is the palace's most resplendent room. Each of its 17 arched windows is decorated with 21 mirrors, resulting in a stunning spectacle as light is reflected off 357 mirrors! 2. The Royal Chapel Though it's just one of five chapels in the palace, this opulent architectural wonder is by far the most breathtaking. Marie Antoinette's wedding took place here. 3. The Grand Apartments Lavishly decorated from top to bottom, the king's apartments are absolutely ravishing -- you'll deem them to be "fit for a king." 4. The Clock Room This room's 250-year-old clock is a technical marvel. Not only does it show the time, date, and even the phases of the moon, but it also features a working model of the solar system! 5. The Gardens With its impeccable lawns, geometric flower beds, rows of statues, and ornamental lakes, the splendor of the palace's gardens rivals even the most ornate interiors. Planning Your Visit Avoid Mondays When planning your visit to the Palace of Versailles, keep in mind that the palace is closed on Mondays. On every other day, the visiting hours are from 9:00am to 5:30pm, and from April until October, they're extended to 6:30pm. Get there early You'll be amazed by the size of the Palace of Versailles and the sheer amount there is to see. Even if you just stick to the above highlights, you'll want to give yourself ample time. On the other hand, if you intend to see everything, you may even consider spreading your visit over more than one day trip. Good to know When should I visit? Tuesday-Sunday, 9:00 AM-6:30 PM Holiday hours may vary Is it expensive? Tickets for guided tours start from €32, depending on the type you would like. Will I need a guide? No, but there are audio tours available. How to get there Versailles is one hour outside the city. Get there by the Versailles Express coach, leaving twice a day from the Eiffel Tower, or taking an SNCF train from either the Montparnasse or Saint-Lazare station. Additional information Make sure you are informed about ticket validity and train schedules ahead of your visit. Flash photography is not permitted inside the palace.

There was a lime of over 50 people in the normal queue and we were in within a minute. The tour guide was fantastic - we had Gabriella. She was passionate, informative and so much of fun. A very lovely personality. The palace itself is magnificent. The gardens were beautiful, albeit we had a very wet and rainy day. Versailles: Skip-the-Line Tour of Palace with Gardens Access Reviewed by Asokan, 10/31/2021 Paris is an appalling city, certainly beautiful and full of interesting places to visit. The Museum pass allows the visitors to arrive and enter without much problem, it is really useful! We went there for 6 days and it helped us to keep our itinerary flexible! Thank you very much Paris Museum Pass: 2, 4, or 6 Days Reviewed by Samuel, 10/28/2021 Isabel was very knowledgeable, professional and loved talking about the palace as much as everyone really wanted to see it. She was able to recount so much history and maintained enthusiasm about every single detail. Would book again!
