Is Palais Garnier (Opéra) worth it in a day?
Worth itIn a day
Even on a tight schedule, Palais Garnier (Opéra) earns the hours.
Allow 1–1.5 hrs.
Pure gilded excess: a grand marble staircase, a mirrored gold foyer rivalling Versailles, and a Chagall-painted ceiling over the auditorium. You can self-tour by day; it's grander and far less crowded than you'd expect.
