It is worth visiting the famous Palace of Versailles, its splendor is breathtaking. When queuing up for admission, remember to go to the front to confirm which queue you should be in, so as not to make mistakes and spend more time. I saw many people at the scene who wanted to be clever or played the sad card and said that the queue was taking a long time. The people who checked the tickets were very fair (as they should be) and asked them to rearrange the tickets without mercy. It was very satisfying to watch from the sidelines!

When in Paris, it’s definitely worth spending a day at the Palace of Versailles. There is no need to queue on site when buying flights at Klook, and there are separate entry times, which is very convenient. I bought a passport, which includes visits to the crown and gardens.

After making a reservation, you can enter at a designated time, which is very convenient. It was windy and rainy this time, so I couldn't visit the garden. I will book tickets next time.
