    Wonderful place to visit, even if you're not religious. If you are visiting during the summer, DO NOT MISS the spetacle "les luminessences". Most beautiful and impressive thing I've ever seen

    It's difficult to get across quite how huge this place is. Its halls are vast. Follow the signs to the 'cafe and panoramic view' to get some great photos of the area.

    In Avignon, the Palais des Popes is one of Europe's largest gothic buildings. The palace is huge and features high vaulted ceilings and beautiful artwork throughout.

    The history of the place is amazing. It's a shame that most of the already impressive rooms are dedicated to horrific local art shows. I'd much rather see what's left of the place and imagine the rest

    The Palais has a really cool interactive tour! iPads allow you to walk around the palace and see what it looked like back in day.

    Awesome gothic building, lots of interesting info. It was the home of the popes in the 14th century. Must visit it

    Beautiful town and a gorgeous absolutely massive complex. Worth visiting at least the outside that doesn't require a ticket.

    The natural focal point of the Avignon Capital of Culture festivities in 2001, as the stage for the Avignon theatre festival - and of Avignon reaffirming itself as the World Theatre Capital. Read more

    Been here 5+ times
    It's worth seeing it if you have enough time but still think that the gardens are much more beautiful and you can stay 2 hours there instead :)

    They cleared each room of the palace to now rely on virtual reality via ipad to enrich the visit... not the same though

    Skip the extremely long row by booking online. Don't forget dress fresh and carry a pai-pai; it's very hot inside in the summer

    It's a very nice historical site but nothing to compare to the Vatican. You must take an audio guide and watch different videos.

    Pay for both the Palais and the Pont Benezet at the same time, it'll be cheaper and you can skip the long lines

    The halls are empty, unfurnished and most frescos are faded away. Still, the building itself is impressive.

    Not really worth it. You're better of touring the grounds around and marvel in how massive the thing is.

    It's impressive and huge but visit gets a bit boring as interiors are mostly empty.

    Completely chaotic and messed up organization, underwhelming interior, gardens are joke. Save your time and money, not worth it.

    Pour les amoureux d'histoire, d'architecture médiévale, d'histoire religieuse, c'est un endroit qui vous ravira. Et le système de guides avec AR est plutôt réussi. À visiter absolument.

    Историческое место. Чудесный вид с крыши дворца. Для бокала вина, напротив приятное кафе "In&Off"

    Отличнейшая экскурсия в дверец. Вам дают планшет, на котором отображается комната, где вы стоите в реальном ее облике (как было при папах). Однозначно стоит посетить.
