Palace of Versailles


If you are in Paris, you cannot miss the opportunity to visit the Palace of Versailles and its gardens.

It is located just 19km away from the city. Getting there is very easy, you just need to take the train line C of the RER, which is the one that connects Versailles with Paris. If you have your Navigo pass for the week, or weekend, which normally works in the 5 zones, you don't need to buy an extra ticket, but if not, it will cost you 3,65€ per trip.

European residents under 26 years old can enter the palace for free and if there are no events in the gardens they can also visit them for free, otherwise the cost of the tickets is 18€ per adult for the museum and 10€ for the gardens.

It is definitely worth to visit, it is a palace full of history, which has been extremely well preserved throughout the years. The gardens are truly wonderful and huge, they are a kind of labyrinth in which you can spend hours walking around. This Palace is one of the largest and most famous palaces in the world. 

The Palace served as a royal residence from 1682 to 1789. Its construction began under the command of King Louis XIII, followed by Louis XIV, who rebuilt part of the palace and enlarged it, thus becoming the royal residence. Louis XV and Louis XVI also resided in this palace. 

Now you know, save a day in your itinerary to visit the Palace of Versailles and its gardens.
