5 Tips For Having the Palace of Versailles All to Yourself

Avoid the mile-long lines and endless wait times by booking tickets in advance of your visit. This way, you will have the luxury of skipping the cluster of crowds and get right to exploring with less people around.

In addition, because there are so many different ticket options for Versailles, it is extremely helpful to know exactly what you want to see during your visit. For instance, we only wanted to explore the palace and the gardens, so the Palace ticket was our best option — which was also the cheapest!

If you are visiting the palace between the months of November and March, and happen to be in the area during the first Sunday of the month, the Versailles Estate is open and free of charge for all visitors on this particular day. While you'll save on costs, be sure to keep in mind though that this free entry is sure to attract large crowds!
