I've been trying without any success to obtain timed entrance tickets from the official website. I need a backup plan. Can we just show up? How hard would it be?
Thank you,

Last April I just showed up because I couldn’t get online reservations either. I got there about 1:30 pm on a Monday. There was a line but it moved pretty quickly. Took me about 20 minutes to get in. It was gorgeous! So go for it.

June 25, 2025 - we got in line at 10:50, entered at 11:10. The line moves fast. It is quite crowded inside - you might want to agree where to meet if you get separated. I also saw a post somewhere that some tourists were refused entry because of too short shorts or bare shoulders - second hand information, so just a caveat.
