Official price benchmark

How do official Palais Garnier prices compare with partner tickets?

The official Palais Garnier website publishes admission prices and visitor information. We use its standard adult ticket as the baseline when comparing partner tickets and tours.

Official adult ticket from€25.00Self-guided tour, adult outside EEA
Published by Opéra national de Paris
Self-guided tour, adult France or EEA (conditions apply)€15.00
Self-guided tour, adult outside EEA€25.00
Guided tour, full rate€35.00

A lower rate of €15.00 (Self-guided tour, adult France or EEA) applies only to some visitors or dates. Check whether it applies to you before you book.

Good for
Independent visitors: a self-guided visit of about 90 minutes, free for children aged 12 and under, with a lift that makes the main route accessible.
Not ideal for
Anyone set on seeing the auditorium, which can close for rehearsals without notice, and anyone who may change plans: tickets are non-refundable.

Partner tickets and tours from€25.00per adult

Partner products can combine Palais Garnier admission with guided services, bundled access, transport or different cancellation rules. Partner prices therefore do not always represent basic admission alone.

Before you book

Palais Garnier ticket questions that affect what you should buy

Use these checks before choosing between official Palais Garnier tickets and partner products.

Should you buy Palais Garnier tickets from the official site or a partner?

Start with the official price and availability, then compare partner tickets only when they add something useful such as a guided tour, bundled access, better time availability or cancellation flexibility.

Do not compare a guided partner tour directly with basic official admission unless the inclusions are genuinely equivalent.

Palais Garnier official ticket information

What should you check before booking Palais Garnier?

Check the visit date, entry time, included areas, cancellation rules, meeting point and whether the ticket is self-guided, hosted or fully guided.

The cheapest listed product is not always the cheapest useful product for your visit.
