Getting Around, Versailles Travel and Versailles Transport
(Versailles, Ile-de-France, France, FR)



One of the most famous cities in the world, Paris is easy to travel to by a variety of means, being home to no less than two major international airports and an excellent rail transport network. Therefore, as a suburb of Paris, the neighbouring city of Versailles is also simple to travel to, using a wide choice of transportation.

Tourists from Paris usually arrive at the Palace of Versailles by metro train and choose to purchase an all inclusive 'Forfait Loisirs' ticket', the price of which not only includes transport, but also entrance and audio-guided tours, allowing you to queue jump when you arrive - something worth considering. Alternatively, bus transport is a very popular way to travel between the Palace of Versailles and Paris, being very convenient and extremely affordable. When you arrive at the palace, you can even hire bicycles and golf buggies, although most people prefer to simply walk around the grounds.
