Traveler reviews
Amy Chen
★★★★★a month agoThere are three places where you can purchase tickets: a ticket machine at the bottom near the visitor center, another machine halfway up the hill near the church, and a ticket booth right before the entrance. If you see a long line at the first ticket machine, I would recommend walking up to the second one, which is often much less crowded. The garden itself is beautiful and well worth a visit. It offers stunning views over the village of Èze and the Mediterranean Sea. One thing to keep in mind is that there isn’t much shade throughout the garden, so be sure to bring plenty of water and wear sunscreen or other sun protection, especially during the summer months.

★★★★★2 weeks agoIt was worth the entrance fee (just make sure you don’t do the climb all the way up in the midday sun and if you do, bring some water. There are not many options to buy drinks) The view is truly beautiful, and if it’s not too crowded you can get some really nice shots of the surroundings. If you’re in Èze, this is a must-see!
