No long line to get in. Despite the crowds, plenty of time to see things. The gardens are also very nice. Too bad the fountains are not on.

Very spectacular gardens, a bit disappointed that none of the fountains we visited were in operation would have topped the visit off, not sure why it was called fast track, there was no sign of getting through the line any faster than anyone else

Versailles is wonderful,it should be visited in as many places as possible. We purchased access to the palace,not to the gardens and took from 9 a.m. to noon for the visit. It was possible to purchase audio on site. Direct access,very satisfied.

We were due to go in at 1.30, but arrived at Versailles around 11 and were stlll able to start our tour straight away. We visited the gardens and parkland extensively using a golf cart we hired on the day. We visited for about 6 hours and did see most of the castle and grounds. Highly recommended visit.

My visit to the museum was satisfactory. The audio guide app was not very convenient, requiring a long download time, and each file had to be downloaded separately. Additionally, the mobile network and internet hardly worked on the museum grounds. However, the most disappointing part of the visit was a ticketing error for my friend. We purchased the same tickets using the same link for the same amount. But at the entrance to the gardens, it turned out that she received the wrong ticket, which included only one part of the museum, and she had to pay separately for everything else. She ended up paying for a full ticket (32 euros) plus an additional entrance fee to the gardens (12 euros if I am not mistaken), and we missed out on two more parts of the museum due to this error. The most frustrating part was that technical support did not resolve the issue, simply stating that it was not their problem and refusing to exchange the ticket or refund part of the cost. As a result, this museum visit was too expensive and left us in a bad mood, unfortunately.

Your experience

Use your passport to tour the Palace of Versailles

Your ticket gives you access to the most famous places within the royal estate including the Royal Palace, the Park, Gardens, Marie Antoinette’s Estate, and entry to any exhibitions on show at the time of your visit. It is worth paying the extra €8 for an upgraded Passport ticket, which includes access to the Musical Fountain and Garden shows.

Explore the elaborate King and Queen's State Apartments first thing on your visit. Discover the history of the French monarchy and get a glimpse into the personal lives of Marie Antoinette and King Louis XIV. Next, make your way to the glittering Hall of Mirrors. Designed to protect the ornate walls and ceilings from smoke, the hall’s 357 mirrors were strategically placed to reflect the light of candles. With just a few flames, the reflection from so many mirrors was enough to light up the whole hall!

Explore 250 acres of gorgeously landscaped lawns and fountains

After admiring the inside of the Palace, head outdoors and take in the grandeur of the estate’s impressive architecture. Stroll along the cobblestone grounds, through the beautiful French gardens, and pass by the gorgeous Versailles fountains. Next, stop by the Estate of Marie Antoinette and discover the life and antics of the Queen at the Petit Trianon. Walk around the Village of the Queen and English Gardens, then see where Marie Antoinette built her own house, a Mill, a Preparation Dairy, a Cave, a Belvedere, and the magnificent Temple of Love where lovers get engaged. At the Carrosses Gallery, travel back in time as you explore carriages, coaches, sculptures, and other artifacts left behind by the French Monarch.
