Step into the opulent world of the Palais Garnier, Paris’ iconic opera house, where history and legend intertwine in gilded splendour. With a self-guided tour ticket, wander at your leisure through this 19th-century masterpiece, built for Napoleon III by Charles Garnier. Ascend the grand marble imperial staircase, marvel at the glittering Grand Foyer’s frescoed ceilings, and soak in the 1,979-seat auditorium’s crimson-and-gold glow, crowned by Marc Chagall’s vibrant ceiling. It’s not just an opera house—it’s a living piece of Paris, as vital as Notre-Dame or the Louvre, and forever etched as the haunting stage of The Phantom of the Opera.

Explore the mystique of this architectural gem, where rumours of a subterranean lake—born from cisterns built to manage high groundwater—fuel tales of the Phantom’s lair (off-limits to visitors). From the intricate mosaics to the 8-ton chandelier, every corner hums with history, hosting ballets, operas, and legends since 1875. Your ticket grants access to public areas and temporary exhibitions, with audio guides in 10 languages for deeper dives. Open daily, enter at the corner of Scribe and Auber streets, steps from the metro Opéra. Book now and let Palais Garnier’s lavish halls and whispered secrets sweep you into a Parisian dream.
