Are there any restrictions on visiting the Potala Palace now?

The Potala Palace is open to the outside world, and of course ordinary people can go in and visit it. It's just that in order to protect the cloth palace, the daily number of people is limited. If you don't join the group, you need to take your ID card one day in advance and book at the window at the side door. Indeed, during peak tourist season, there are too many people, so get in line early. The safety of Tibet, especially Lhasa is absolutely guaranteed, definitely safer than your city. Don't think about it.

I went there more than ten years ago. At that time, it was not easy to buy tickets. We asked the local security guards to buy them for us.

It depends on the situation, sometimes it is off-season and sometimes it is peak season, and during the current epidemic period, there are restrictions on timing.
