Château de Versailles

Absolutely the highlight of our trip to Paris, France. We bought tickets 2 months in advance with a tour group (highly recommend). The tour came with transportation and we had in line for about 15 - 20 mins before entering into the palace. The inside is beautiful with intricate details and the gardens are massive. Highly recommend to go during spring plus summer when the fountains are turned on. Also make sure to check out the super cute gift soft and wear comfy shoes. Highly recommend!

The most wonderful place to visit. Highly recommended be prepared for long queues for everything. I would visit in the Autumn months when it's quiet. Will definitely be visiting again as I did not manage to see everything. The palace was just spectacular, I bought my tickets in advance for entry. I hope everyone enjoys the palace as much as I did ..

Amazing! Please keep in mind that to get there easily is to buy tickets in advance at least one day. They implemented the hourly schedule to get into the palace itself(for example, 9:30,10:30, 11:30 and so on access). Most likely if you come early , you will get in the morning groups easily. We can around noon without tickets and only could get the tickets to enter the palace at 16:00. It’s not a big problem because we used the time prior entering the palace to explore its delightful gardens. The gardens require more time to explore than the palace itself. They also have a cafe on premises where you can get lunch. To walk through the palace you’d need couple of hours. Unless you like to listen and learn the entire history of it. Also , if you are waiting to enter there, you can walk just outside the gates and have lunch in the great local restaurants nearby, then to come in again, but you’ll be using a different entrance on the side . Ask the security before leaving. Great place to spend entire day in Paris.

Extraordinary amount of history compiled into a huge Palace and multiple gardens. Take a full day for the experience and bring your own sandwiches and water bottles. It is warm in summer, so be prepared. The palace is full, and I mean really full, with paintings, murals, frescoes, statues, busts, baroque furniture, etc. There are so many decorations of everything that there is no way to note it all, let alone to remember it. Although beautiful and impressive I got enough of the paintings of yet another war or battlefield, so I was happy to reach the gardens and go for the full walking tour following the free Mao. It takes 2 hours, including time to take pictures or to sit for a couple of minutes. Overall the gardens were impressive and very well maintained. Not all fountains were in operation, though. Still, the whole experience is worth the price. It is highly recommended to purchase the tickets ahead of the visit at the official Versailles palace website. Make sure you receive the real tickets and not just a voucher. Only with the real ticket you can enter directly at the indicated timing. And be on time! There is a security check in all buildings, so leave the pocket knive at home.

Please don’t get me wrong. The palace was amazing. The hall of mirrors opulent. The garden was nice to walk. Unfortunately the day we went (Thursday during summer holiday), it was way too crowded inside of the palace. We have 6 yrs old girl. And I was constantly worried as people kept bushing in, running her over with the wheel chair (it did happen) and squashed. I think it would be great if they have a “kids friendly time slot”, maybe. So we can all enjoy. 🥲 The garden was nice, not too crowded. Only two issues were restaurants and toilets. Both were overwhelmed with number of people and toilets were not enough in the garden area which made it difficult. Great for adults to visit, but for the family with kids, it lost 2 stars for that reason 🤍
