Marrakesh: Majorelle Garden Entry Tickets

1.Majorelle Garden Entry Tickets

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 9,651 reviews · 1 hour · from $31Our pick

Visit Marrakesh’s Majorelle Garden independently with timed entry and mobile QR tickets sent by email the day before. Walk among rare plants, cacti, fountains, bamboo, and the famous blue villa designed by Paul Sinoir. This ticket covers the garden only, not the Yves Saint Laurent Museum or Pierre Bergé Museum. Allow about one hour, or longer if you stop at the café.

“Stood in line less than 5 minutes. The line to buy tickets was quite long and by the time we came out around 12:15 p.m. it was even longer. The whole experience lasts an hour of walking through slowly. The oasis this garden is, is breathtaking. Beautiful photos. Be patient. Everyone is "an inflencer" now and they want 20 takes... just breath it through. Yes, it is a tiny bit more expensive than at the ticket windows, but you don't want to make the line under the sun and I did 4 days ago in the coldest winter. Morocco has the bluest sky and the sun begs sunglasses 24/7. Buy…”

Marrakech: Majorelle Garden, YSL, and Berber Museum Entry

2.Majorelle Garden, YSL, and Berber Museum Entry

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 5,168 reviews · 2 hours · from $58

Visit Marrakech’s Majorelle Garden, the Yves Saint Laurent Museum, and the Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts with one ticket. Start at the garden at your assigned time, then explore the nearby museums at your own pace. Expect striking color, rare plants, fashion history, Berber jewelry, costumes, and everyday objects. No guide or transport is included.

“Despite the rain falling all day, visiting the Majorelle Garden, the YSL Museum, and the Berber Museum was a wonderful experience. The garden was still stunning, with the colours looking even more vibrant in the rain, and it felt calm and refreshing rather than disappointing. The YSL Museum was beautifully curated and inspiring, offering a fascinating insight into Yves Saint Laurent’s life and work. The Berber Museum was equally impressive, with rich history, craftsmanship, and stories that really brought Moroccan culture to life. Even on a wet day in Marrakech in December, this trio is absolutely worth visiting and made for a memorable and special experience”
