Beijing

Tickets for two of Beijing's landmarks, sold three ways. The Forbidden City ticket reserves entry to the palace, and does not include Tian'anmen Square. The Tian'anmen Square ticket covers the square only, and it still means a security check and a queue, so skip it if that does not suit you. The third option covers both in one booking. Each is sold separately, so choose before booking. What you get is an official ticket with guaranteed entry, and no paper and no QR code to manage: you go in on your passport. Two things to know. The Forbidden City is closed on Mondays. And if the only option showing for your date is the Tian'anmen Square ticket, that means the Forbidden City has sold out for that day.

What's included

  • The Forbidden City (Palace Museum): Entry is by scanning your original passport at the gate.
  • Travel instructions n the Tiananmen Square entry voucher will be emailed one day before your visit.
  • The QR code you receive after booking is only a booking confirmation, not your entry ticket.
  • Admission ticket(s) based on the option you selected (Forbidden City / Tiananmen Square / Combo).
