Visiting Versailles, including its palace, gardens and parks, is something you will surely have in mind if you spend a few days in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Palace of Versailles was the royal residence between 1682 and 1789. It is located in the municipality of Versailles, about 20 kilometers from Paris, and receives millions of visitors every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Versailles comprises three palaces: Versailles,  Grand Trianon and Petit Trianon, as well as several buildings located in the town. Although Louis XIII had a hunting lodge  with a garden built there, Louis XIV is its true creator, since he gave it its spaciousness and determined its destiny. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TICKETS TO VISIT VERSAILLES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first thing we’re going to think about is getting our tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Palace of Versailles is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and receives more than 10 million visitors per year, so obtaining our tickets online in advance is very important to avoid queues and be able to enjoy our visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets are available for purchase in advance on the official website of the Palace of Versailles<\/a>. Try to do so this way and avoid at least the long queue at the ticket office that usually forms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often receive messages telling me that they have not been able to get tickets for the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, etc. The advice is not to delay in getting tickets for the high season in such touristy places as Paris. I know that the downside is often that we have gone through many changes and we are afraid of losing our tickets if we have to cancel the visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The option to do this (and what I do when I can) is to get tickets that offer free cancellation in case we have to do it, and thus be able to get the money back. Where can I get them? Generally not on official websites, but on ticket sales sites. I buy them from Civitatis or Get Your Guide, both of which have always responded very well to me when I have had to cancel. Make sure it says free cancellation<\/em><\/strong> (this is not always the case), always remember to look at the conditions of those tickets, many offer free cancellation but others do not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if the delay is due to that fear, check if you have that option and try to book as soon as you decide, you will always have time to change your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
