GOOD TO KNOW
Practical questions.
Do you need a ticket for Tuileries Garden?
No. The garden itself is free to enter. Nearby museums and paid activities have their own admission arrangements.
How long should I allow?
A direct stroll can be short, but 60–90 minutes is more comfortable if you want to sit by the basins, look at sculpture and take photographs. Add more time if combining it with the Louvre or Orangerie.
Which end should I start at?
If your next stop is the Louvre, start at Concorde and walk east. If you are heading toward Champs-Élysées or Place de la Concorde afterward, start near the Louvre and walk west.
Is it useful with children?
Yes. The garden has long-running family activities and open space; see our dedicated family guide for practical ideas.
