I had a fantastic experience with Headout! Right after purchasing my ticket, their team reached out to assist me with details about the venue—a proactive service I wasn't even expecting, but was thoroughly impressed by. When I got to the entrance, using my ticket was fast, seamless, and completely hassle-free. Highly recommended!

The Opera is a must-visit place, but we went specifically to see the theater in addition to the halls. Unfortunately, we couldn't visit it because of rehearsals. Even though the tickets state that this can happen, those of us who buy tickets for a rehearsal day—which are usually scheduled—should be notified in advance. That way, you can decide whether to go that day or another; it's not right that you only find out once you are there.

It was easy to book the ticket, details on how to get to the entrance gate were missing, and the audio guide is a bit hard to understand. The place is spectacular! It's worth it

I had the most incredible time at the famous Palais Garnier! I was able to see all of the opulent rooms and wander the grand staircase without any problems or crowds. The view was spectacular and I could see why the venue is as renowned as it is. I cannot wait to revisit in the future.

It was definitely an experience worth recommending... We didn't have to wait in line at the entrance...probably also because it was a Monday... A charming atmosphere...

Benefit from quick and easy access to this magnificent building, the Opera Garnier, in the center of Paris with these timed entry tickets.

Set eyes on the writhing snakes of the bronze “Pythonisse” sculpture, before climbing the double stairway of the Grand Escalier (Main Staircase).

Stroll through vast foyers, filled with sparkling mosaics, colorful marble columns, and gold-leaf flourishes.

Everywhere you look will be a feast for your eyes including the temporary exhibitions, which you get access to with these tickets.

The self-guided tour was an amazing experience! I had the opportunity to walk through each scene at my own pace and take each space in thouroughly.

Boasting an eclectic and ostentatious Baroque design, the Opera Garnier is one of the most extravagant representations of Second Empire architecture in France. Thanks to your timed entry tickets, benefit from quick and easy access to this magnificent building in the center of Paris.

Inaugurated in 1875 and named after its exciting young architect, Charles Garnier, it is the largest opera house in Europe. You will set eyes on the writhing snakes of the bronze “Pythonisse” sculpture, before climbing the double stairway of the “Grand Escalier” (Main Staircase). Imagine the swish of crinolines as you admire the breathtaking décor and stroll through vast foyers, filled with sparkling mosaics, colorful marble columns, and gold-leaf flourishes. Everywhere you look will be a feast for the eyes.
