The Opera House is not to be missed as I felt it was more grand the the palace of Versailles. Glad I saw it because it is very beautiful. Which I had the version to explain. I thought this was included in my visit cause I paid $7 euros xtra but staff said no at Opera House. I was disappointed in that.

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

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.

I loved the theatre it was everything I expected but would have loved seeing where the actual shows are performed Every time I went to get a photo there was an Asian person and a photographer in the space. Every time

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.
