Palais Garnier

Overall it is quite good, retro and gorgeous. The network map filter is a bit serious, there are many people, many people take pictures, and it takes a long time to wait in line. It takes about an hour and a half to visit. The official website can't book a ticket and can go straight to Trip.com, which is a bit expensive, but the ticket that day can be booked is very good!

The Palais Garnier offers a delightful blend of charm and history, creating an ambiance that is both enchanting and captivating. Upon entering, visitors are transported to a bygone era, surrounded by the elegance and grandeur of its 19th-century architecture. From the ornate interiors to the iconic chandelier, every detail tells a fascinating story, inviting guests to immerse themselves in its rich history. Whether attending a performance in the stunning auditorium or simply wandering through its historic corridors, the Palais Garnier never fails to leave a lasting impression. With its unique combination of old-world charm and artistic allure, it's a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a memorable cultural experience.

Ticketing is fast, saving the time to queue, the Paris Opera is worth a visit! Unfortunately, the main stage did not open on the day I went, I will go again next time! Next to Galeries Lafayette and Spring Department Store, you can arrange it together!

The construction of this opera was started back in 1861 - in the era of Napoleon III, the brilliant second Empire - glorious decades of domination of luxury and beauty in all its possible manifestations.The new opera house was supposed to become one of the symbols of the new Paris: it was during these years that Baron Haussmann's large-scale reconstruction of the city was underway, during which the capital of France would acquire the look that we love so much now. The competition for the construction of a new opera house was won by a young, almost unknown architect, Charles Garnier, at that time he was only 35 years old.I must say that this monument, in my opinion, turned out to be quite successful: few other places have I ever seen so much luxury and splendor before (except Versailles or the Louvre, but there it is quite understandable - after all, royal residences).The magnificent decoration, abundance of gilding and marble, magnificent sculptures and huge paintings - all this literally captures the visitor from the first steps. At the same time, the eclectic decor, pretentiousness, combined with the closed, as if isolated space of many rooms of the theater, create a sense of mystery, fabulousness or magic.So, at first, the visitor is greeted by the Pythia pool: thanks to the marble of different colors, a low vault decorated with a floral pattern, it looks more like a kind of secret grotto, which at the same time is a portal to a fabulous world.

The Palais Garnier, an architectural masterpiece, is a dazzling monument in Paris. The unique harmony between sculpture, painting, and architecture is a testament to Charles Garnier's poetry, audacity, and genius. The building is a showcase for dance and opera, featuring onyx balconies, luxurious marble, delicate frescoes, and rich gilding. From the monumental staircase to the Grand Salon, each room is filled with elegant details, creating a magical decor.

This is my first time coming here. Before, I was very excited and looking forward to trying this place once. It really didn't disappoint me because it was so beautiful and fun. Truly unforgettable, this place will forever impress me. The people here are very friendly and sociable, which is very valuable. I love this place and hope to come back many times in the future. Thanks a lot!!!

This is a very beautiful place to visit any day. On weekends there are more people going to this place. Tickets are sold inside so there is no need to buy them in advance.
