Audio Guide of Hall of Mirrors

The Hall of Mirrors is located inside the Palace of Versailles. The Palace opens at 9:00 AM and closes at 6:30 PM (last entry at 6:00 PM) from Tuesday to Sunday. Please note that the Palace is closed on Mondays and on May 1. Always check the latest opening hours on the official Palace of Versailles website.

The Hall of Mirrors is included with admission to the Palace of Versailles. The price of the 'Passport' ticket (including the Palace, Gardens, Trianon Estate, and Marie Antoinette's Estate) is around €21. It is highly recommended to buy tickets online in advance to avoid long lines, especially during peak season: Buy your ticket here.

For the Hall of Mirrors, about 15 to 20 minutes is enough to admire its details and take photos. However, to visit the Palace of Versailles in full, including the Grand Apartments, Marie Antoinette's Estate, and the gardens, it is recommended to allow at least half a day, around 3 to 4 hours.

The Hall of Mirrors is one of the most iconic rooms in the Palace of Versailles, inaugurated in 1684. It was designed to impress visitors, symbolizing the power and wealth of Louis XIV. It was also the setting for crucial historical events, such as the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, which brought the First World War to an end.

To avoid the biggest crowds, I suggest visiting the Hall of Mirrors early in the morning, just after the Palace opens at 9 AM, or late in the afternoon, after 4 PM. As for the time of year, spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) usually have fewer tourists than summer.

Yes, the Palace of Versailles, including most of the Hall of Mirrors route, is accessible for people with reduced mobility. Elevators and ramps are available. It is advisable to check the specific conditions for visitors with disabilities on the official website before your visit.

Once at the Palace of Versailles, you should not miss the magnificent Gardens of Versailles, the Grand Trianon, the Petit Trianon, and the Queen's Hamlet of Marie Antoinette. If you have extra time, the town center of Versailles also offers charm and dining options.

I recommend downloading the official Versailles mobile app for free audio guides and maps. Wear comfortable shoes, as visiting the palace and gardens involves a lot of walking. And do not forget your camera—the photo opportunities are endless!
