Paris Opera House | Best photo-taking guide to avoid crowds

📍Address: Place de l'Opéra 75009 Paris 🚇Transportation: Subway lines 3, 7, and 8, Opera station/RER A line, Auber station. 🕰️Opening hours: Daily 10:00-16:30 (summer 10:00-18:30) December 25th Christmas, January 1st New Year's Day, May 1st Labor Day closed. 🎫Ticket: Adult - 14 euros (12 euros outside exhibition period), Youth aged 12 to 25 - 10 euros (8 euros outside exhibition period) ⏰Suggested visit time: 90 minutes 🌈Best shooting position: 1⃣️First of all, the Paris Opera House is not very big, and the main photo spots are concentrated on the middle staircase and the small terrace on the second floor. Basically, just focus on the angles of the staircase corners and the terrace. (See picture 5⃣️) 2️⃣️Tourists are unavoidable and hard to avoid being in the frame. When taking photos, you need to wait for a moment when there are no tourists nearby, which means that even if there are tourists, they will be blurred or not prominent in the background. (Pic 1️⃣️3️⃣️) 3️⃣️Take photos on the stairs, grasp the light well, because the light in the lobby is not strong, so you must find the side with light on your face. If your shoes look good, taking full-body photos on the stairs should be very nice. 4️⃣️There is a corridor in the opera house where tourists are most frequently photographed. Place your phone on the ground and tilt it upwards to avoid the crowd (see pictures 7️⃣️9️⃣️🔟).
