Palais Garnier Opening Hours & Best Time to Visit

When is the Best Time to Visit Palais Garnier?

The best time to visit Palais Garnier is during the shoulder seasons, which are the spring and fall. During these times, the crowds are smaller, the weather is pleasant, and there are fewer distractions from special events.

To avoid the peak crowds, it is best to visit the Opéra Garnier on weekdays and avoid weekends and holidays. You can also try to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon, as the crowds tend to be smaller during these times.

How Much Time Should I Plan to Visit Palais Garnier?

How much time you should plan to visit the Palais Garnier will depend on your interests and what you want to see. However, in general, you should allow at least 2-3 hours to explore the opera house and its grounds.
Here is a suggested itinerary for a 2-hour visit:
● 1 hour: Visit the Grand Staircase, the Grand Foyer, and the auditorium. Take your time to admire the architecture, decorations, and artwork.
● 30 minutes: Visit the rooftop terrace. This is a great place to enjoy panoramic views of Paris.
● 30 minutes: Learn about the history of the Opéra Garnier with a guided tour. There are a variety of tours available, including English-language tours and family-friendly tours.

Hello, I found this survey really cool, a little short to resolve everything because the initial explanations take 15 minutes and that’s what we missed, I was the only adult with 2 children aged 10 and 12. The puzzles are very cool, as is the setting. Great time.
