Top 15 Tiananmen Square Tours & Tickets

27 reviewed

Entry to the square is free but has to be registered in advance against your passport, and the queue forms at the north end. These are the best guided walks and registration bookings: what each one arranges for you, which continue straight through the gate into the Forbidden City, which take in the Monument, the Great Hall of the People and the National Museum along the east and west sides, and what time the flag ceremony runs.

“We had an excellent day trip covering Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, a jade factory, lunch, and the Badaling Great Wall. Everything was well organized and flowed smoothly throughout the day. Lucy was a fantastic guide—very informative, engaging, and great at adapting to the pace and interests of everyone in the group. That really stood out, especially since some people on our tour had actually done a previous tour with Lucy and chose to join her again. Highly recommend booking this excursion—you’ll enjoy it!”

“We book the midday tour to visit Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City within 3 to 4 hours. By national event, the square was closed and the alternative we were offered was to go to Jinshang Park, we found it suitable and in fact we were booked entrance so we could go another day to Tiananmen. However, the duration of the excursion for us was 2 hours from the time we entered the Forbidden City until we left Jinshang Park. We found that we went fast from pavilion to pavilion through the forbidden city, without stopping to see the details or other stays, being clearly insufficient time for the price…”
