Château de Versailles

YES, it is worth going. Here are some quick tips. - Buy tickets in advance online. It won't save you money but it will guarantee you get in when you want. - Consider buying the Passport package if you have a lot of time to explore. It gets you into the Hamlet. - Explore the gardens. They are HUGE and be sure to wear good walking shoes. - Do not buy tickets on the train that takes you around the grounds. It costs 9 euros a person and really does not save you that much time (plus you miss so many parts of the ground that are only available to those walking).

This palace is very iconic abd worth visiting. The tickets provide pretty good value where you can take a look inside and in the palace gardens (which is huge). The exterior and interior both looked amazing. This trip could easily be squeezed into a half day chunk, so you can either use this day as a relaxing half day or squeeze it in the morning or late morning and return back to Paris by 3-4pm. Just note that the gardens are huge and you do need other tickets to access other estates in the gardens. The ebike rentals and carts are quite expensive given you only have 1 hour on them so if you don't mind walking it's a great relaxing way to spend your time.

This Palace was truely beautiful and I highly recommend. As a group of four we did the tour and saw 12 rooms out of the 2,300 and a bit of history with the tour. They were very good with safety and supportive to English. You could get the tour in several languages and the rooms were amazing. Very beautiful, only downside is its huge populatarity so it was quite overcrowded considering it's Autum/Winter here in France. Good option for a tourist. Very pretty. Merci beaucoup.

The architecture of this place is just simple stunning. I must say is easy to reach by local transport just you need to walk around 12 mi a from the train station. I did not like the way how they validate the tickets is just by the hour if you have any emergency you must abandon the place and you can’t comeback. Is the same for the gardens if you leave the palace to go to the garden is not return: toilets facilities are too small for the place. Food is very overpriced not place to seat all is take away. Then main coffee place was closed due renovations if you want to rent a gold car to go around the garden is €40 they charge extra if you don’t return the gold car after one hour you pay at the end . People under 21 can’t not drive or hire a car.

The Versailles Castle is a beautiful building with stunning views but if you only have a little time in Paris this is not a must see. The inside has some stunning rooms with beautiful furniture and paintings. The view of the garden from the second floor is exceptional. The gardens and lakes are a really good choice if you’re visiting with your family. The only downside of the palace are the giant crowds in the rooms and by the toilets, so you have to be patient. The tickets were about 60€ for adults and 0€ for children (Attention! The garden is not free for children, it’s 10€)
