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.
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!
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.
Super easy to use! Meeting/pickup point was not as difficult as some people mentioned. I do agree that it was a little annoying that it wasn’t a digital pass though. Having to go pick it up was a bit inconvenient, but still worth it for how great it was to have the pass to skip all the lines and saves so much money if you do a lot of things!
The best part was the "skip the line". Oh my gosh, a couple of times we went right to the head of a line that was over 200 yards long (close to 200 meters). There are so many great museums to see. However, you have to do at least two a day to get your money's worth so if you are not a real museum buff, the two day pass is the best.
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 :)
A must have if you plan on visiting any of the historic places who accept the pass. Definitely saves money and time (skip the line with a separate entrance). During our stay and due to construction/covid we needed to a pick a time to enter the Louvre, but all the rest were skip the line.
The 2-day pass a great deal if you visit at least 4 museums. You will also skip the long lines for buying tickets which is very nice since the lines can be very long. The only downside is that you have to pick up the pass in person, it would be nice to have it electronically sent.
