Palace of Versailles Ticket Information

Palace of Versailles Ticket Options

Are you planning a visit to the Palace of Versailles and you are not sure on what ticket to buy?
Choosing your ticket is not as straightforward as with other attractions in Paris. This is because Versailles is huge, there is a lot to see and not all areas of Versailles are accessible with the same ticket. Below we describe the different Versailles ticket options available. We hope this will help you in deciding what ticket to buy:

Versailles Passport Ticket: this is a skip the line ticket which gives you access to the entire Versailles estate (the Palace, the estate of Trianon, the temporary exhibitions, the Gardens and Parks). This ticket gives you access into the Palace at the time slot selected by you and includes an audio guide which is available in multiple languages. Please note that you can choose between two Passport Ticket options. The first ticket option, costs a bit less, but does not give you access to the Gardens on the days of the Musical Fountain Shows and the Musical Gardens. The second option also provides access to the gardens on the days when the Musical Fountain Shows and the Musical Gardens are held. Remember, that on days when the shows are not held access to the gardens are free.

2-day Versailles Passport: this is identical to the Passport ticket described above with the only difference that it gives you access to the entire Versailles estate for 2 consecutive days.

Palace ticket with timed entry: this ticket gives you skip the line access to the Palace at your selected time slot. It also gives you access to the Palace temporary exhibitions and includes a downloadable audio guide available in multiple languages. You can visit the Park and the Gardens too.
