Carmen LawrenceJanuary 6, 2017This is a fantastically beautiful opera house and I imagine that anything one views here would be great. Great choice of music/dance and Chagall's ceiling is worth visiting in its own right.Upvoted Mar 21
Nico PitneyJune 4, 2014One of the most beautiful landmarks in Paris. Reserve a spot in one of the guided tours, you will marvel at the architecture.
Gabi BulumacMay 2, 2016Probably the most famous Opera house in the world and one of the most impressive landmarks in Paris without any doubt 😱😍👍Upvoted Mar 26
Luis CastroJune 23, 2015Incredible architecture and scenic views from Paris. You will see lots of married people taking their pictures here. It's just beautiful. The entrance is €6 if you are younger than 25.

RAKANSeptember 4, 2023Beautiful and great building done by architect Charles Garnier's plans and designs it which are representative of the Napoleon III style.✨💙- Corentin CombalbertDecember 8, 2018One of my favourite buildings in Paris (before Eiffel Tower !) This palace is so wonderful, I'll advise you to do the escape game inside to discover it.

Jim StoddartSeptember 28, 2017Take the guided tour - worth it if only for access into the performance hall (but also for the facts and contextual commentary)
Joe DurreDecember 16, 2023Extraordinary architectural detail is woven into every facet of the building. There's so much more than what you can see, so pay for a guided tour. It's well worth the money.
eric bornemannJuly 16, 2020Of all the opera houses in Europe one of the most majestic and impressive of all. Get your tickets early and arrive early to wander the many salons and explore.- Joe DurreDecember 16, 2023Beautiful architecture and history. The guided tour is well worth the money, giving background and details to the myriad of works of art.
Enzo MartinelliSeptember 7, 2021The most iconic opera house in the world, with splendid interiors and a small stage though
Saulo MachadoJanuary 8, 2017Must visit if u're in Paris. Better joining a guided tour that can be purchased at the entrance for around 31 euros (2017/jan).
Muire McCallionApril 12, 2015We booked an English language guided group tour through Get Your Guide. I heartily recommend this reasonably priced tour - the Opera is very busy and tours often sell out!
Nej KutcharianJuly 12, 2019Get to the Opera at 10am on the day of a show and they release tickets for 10 euros each and some of those seats are pretty decent.
BlueBlueDecember 14, 2014The seat are a bit tight so make sure you check the seating plan before you book. We had cat.1 tickets but were literally squeezed!amazing architecture and a very good performance, though
JaeHee KimMay 28, 2017At the gate, don't buy guided tour ticket. After that, there are ticket vending machines, counters and also visual audio guide supports more language including Korean. For me there is a masterpiece.
Polina KyriacouJanuary 11, 2016The most amazing place in Paris, a real palace, worth seeing either with excurtion or as a ballet/opera viewer.
@StratosAthensFebruary 5, 2013Come early; enjoy the building; visit the exhibits. To attend a concert here is one of the things one must do in life, at least once.
Dan Mondragón SomeraJanuary 3, 2019It’s all golden and marvelous in photos. It’s all mostly gray and mármol in real life. Worth visiting even so
Christina ChMarch 15, 2019Quite opulent exterior and interior, not to the best of my liking personally, but offers spectacular views for tourists and photos.
Paulo RementeriaFebruary 12, 2017One if the most beautiful buildings you will ever visit, it defines luxury and opulence. Don't forget to visit the foyer... you will be amazed.
Andrew GaldiFebruary 17, 2016The video/audio guide is absolutely worth it. Such a beautiful building and a well done tour. Expect it to take about 45 min to 1hr
Io As SoonJanuary 14, 2017Beautiful place! Amazing architecture ! Maybe the best monument in Paris for art lovers
Sam RApril 11, 2016Awesome place to visit or for enjoying an opera of ballet! Very expansive for a good seat.
New York HabitatJuly 16, 2012Check out this beautiful landmark. Its grand staircase is breathtaking and will have you feeling like you are in a movie! The architecture will have you in awe before you even see the opera!
Jake SmithJuly 5, 2015If you're inside, do not miss taking a picture from the open air terrace, a grand spectacle of architecture and urban design.
CarolineFebruary 17, 2017Marvelous and we enjoyed So much the opera 'cosi fan tutti' with wonderful anne-teresa-de-keersmaeker as choreograph
BartOctober 10, 2013The street musicians performing at the steps of the opera are quite good.....best if you're on budget.
BraniApril 8, 2016Beautiful and quiet place, worth the visit, unforgettable experience for those who like theaters and ballets!
DariaMarch 18, 2017Worth visiting if you have enough time and like theatre. However be prepared you will not see the scene. Ok, you will see it but it does not count :)
- Romashka CustistayaAugust 7, 2016What I love about opera most of all is architecture of opera houses. This building is spectacular.
Jesse MorganMarch 2, 2013A must see if you are visiting Paris. While it's pretty widely known, it's not nearly as busy as many of the other landmarks.
Olivier BreuilOctober 11, 2011Opéra Garnier is one of the most famous and beautiful building in Paris. Recently, a great restaurant have opened. You definitly have to try it!
Davis HallMarch 31, 2017Might want to check ahead. The auditorium was closed for a rehearsal. We got a glimpse but it was dark. A side lobby was being set up for an event. We shared an audio guide.
Hernan HuwylerDecember 26, 2015Opulent architecture, rich history, unforgettable performance for la voix humaine.
Get yourself a tour from Viator for behind the scenes access!
Karyn @konorth OMarch 31, 2017Such beauty inside. Take the ipad tour for lots of info at your own pace.
Anna DMay 29, 2017Favorite building in Paris - don't miss the ceiling in the theater! And that staircase!
Theodora PapoutsiSeptember 22, 2014Enjoy a coffee to rest from walking,while you may see a street performer!
