Potala Palace Tours and Tickets
Potala Palace

- Even if you don’t care for history, the Potala Palace is a must when in Tibet.
- The Potala Palace is a sacred site: Remember to dress respectfully, covering shoulders and knees. Bring a jacket, as the palace is cool even in the height of summer, and wear practical shoes, as you’ll cover a lot of ground.
- The top of the Potala Palace stands around 984 feet (300 meters) higher than the rest of Lhasa, a high-altitude city. Aim to avoid visiting on your first day if you’re arriving from a low-lying destination.
- Photography is forbidden inside the palace.
- Exploring the Potala Palace involves negotiating a number of steep and challenging stairways; It’s not wheelchair accessible.
