Boasting an eclectic and ostentatious Baroque design, the Opera Garnier is one of the most extravagant representations of Second Empire architecture in France. Benefit from quick and easy access to this magnificent building in the center of Paris.

Inaugurated in 1875 and named after its exciting young architect, Charles Garnier, it is the largest opera house in Europe. You will set eyes on the writhing snakes of the bronze “Pythonisse” sculpture, before climbing the double stairway of the “Grand Escalier” (Main Staircase). Imagine the swish of crinolines as you admire the breathtaking décor and stroll through vast foyers, filled with sparkling mosaics, colorful marble columns and gold-leaf flourishes. Everywhere you look will be a feast for the eyes.

I went with my boyfriend during the afternoon with a pre-booked ticket, and it made accessing the entrance so much more easier! it's a beautiful place conveniently located in the center of Paris, and the interior is gorgeous. You could feel the the high society of the previous era and appreciate the interior design, which is still well preserved! Definitely worth to add to your itinerary, even if you're just in Paris for a few days like we did.

The Palais Garnier is definitely worth a visit It’s a masterpiece of architecture which not only has a grand theatre, art, statues, a library and costumes, it also is home to a grand marble staircase and a stunning long opulent golden gallery. The gift shop sells a large selection of books, artwork and gifts. Although there’s a lift within the building, recommend checking if has accessible access points. A guided tour would likely provide additional information.
