We bought a 4 day pass but, to be honest, we did not plan ahead like we should have, and, we didn't count on museum fatigue setting in. When my husband and I finally decided to move forward, it was only a week before thr trip and The Louvre then had very limited availability to book our time. We ended up with only getting a Friday night at 7:30! A week earlier we could have had a half a day and really seen alot more and had lunch there, etc. Then, you have to ask yourself, if the weather is beautiful and sunny in Paris, do you really want to spend your time inside a museum fir 4 days straight? If you don't you won't feel you got your money's worth.....for US, the lesson learned was it put too much pressure on us to be in museums when we didn't feel like it. However we did see wonderful things inside each museum....they were all top notch. The point is whether you think a 4 day is a good idea or value for you.
Very beautiful city, with many sights to see. Definitely visit Versailles palace and Louvre museum. If you like art masterpieces, also visit D'Orsey museum and Pompidou center. You can also visit Rodin museum, Picasso museum and Orangerie museum. Paris metro is the cheapest and easiest way to move around the city, so get you one week metro pass from the first day and don't forget to attach your photo and wright your name on the pass card, because you can get charged if you don't do that. BE CAREFUL of thieves. As parisians told me, they are all around the city, so look for your phones, wallets and other staff. Overall it was unforgettable journey to city of Art, perfume boutiques, romantic night walks and mesmerizing buildings. And of course you will not forget to visit Eifel tower. Enjoy you journey!
A two day pass enabled a visit of five sites - much cheaper than buying individual tickets. More importantly, skipping queues saved several hours! A strong negative that could be easily fixed: You have to physically walk out of your way, to the so called office to collect your bar code. This wastes time. The office has no sign and there are three entrances to 23. The one with no number is the office! People mill around outside searching and asking locals. Crazy. Get with the program and send the bar code on line as they do for the trains. Stop making it feel like you are in a backward Asian country from last century! Apart from that stupidity. Awesome!
Having this pass helped my family immensely while we were touring Paris. It saved us literal HOURS by not having to wait in line for tickets at individual sites. Purchasing it ahead of time relieved stress on our budget. With so many options and places to visit, we went to many that we just happened to be near allowing our schedule to flow easily and brought us to many that we either were unaware of or wouldn't have thought to visit! This is definitely a must for the savvy traveler!
All went great. There was a new step to get into the Louvre that we did not know about, getting a reservation time. Their web site (the Louvre) could not handle all the traffic well and had to wait until the night after we got our vouchers to make the reservation. If you’re on a strict schedule, this could cause a problem. Not sure how to resolve this, maybe get our voucher numbers ahead of time would help.
We bought the 2 day Paris Museum Pass, we definitely got our monies worth. We did the Louvre and one other museum the first day. We booked an entrance time for the Louvre early. On the second day we booked a time for the l’Orangerie , then we did the Arc de Triumph, Hotel des Invalids, the Rodin Museum and finally the Consiergerie. They were all excellent.
Excellent offer, You pay what you can see, everything else is inflated as savings priority access to attractions is an advantage. I'm sorry, because we always have a little time, but there are a lot of museums that I want to see. You should definitely come again. It would be good if the Pass could be picked up at multiple locations.
I purchased the four day pass ($70) and visited 8 of the sites on the pass. It is absolutely worth the money, but make sure to factor in “museum burnout”; if you think you’ll burn out quickly then a two-day pass may be better for you, but if you’re determined to get up everyday and get out there then purchase a longer one :)
It was great to have the opportunity to be able to go into all these locations. Very telling, as it enables you to access the fast lane and pass people who have been waiting 2 hours for tickets, let alone standing in line to get into the museum. Saved hours of time.
Very good price if you visit at least 3 museums a day. We was at Versailles, Orsay, Invalides Dom in one day, and in the other day at Sainte-Chapelle, Conciergerie and Louvre. We was with our kid (5 years old), if you are single, you can visit more than us.
