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!
So after getting to the louvre and finding out that all tickets were sold out (thanx to my friend) I was sulking when I eavesdropped in this couple having the same experience. The guy then said “we are all set” and headed off I found out what he did and got me a 2 day city pass. Long story short...got into the louvre. Also there are all these amazing museums in there that you can go to. After the louvre I went to musee de l’orangerie and saw beautiful monet’s and the museum was packed with impressionistic art!!! This pass is for sure a must!!! I plan on getting another next time I’m there to hot up another museum that has the unicorn tapestries.
It was really nice not to worry about tickets. But don't take the skip-the-line too seriously because there are so many people using the pass that there were lines, quicker though. And if you only came to Louvre museum to see Mona Lisa, you might have a problem at this time. Nevertheless, it is not the fault of the pass, but the fact that the museum is modernising. A lot of stuff was unavailable, but if you decide not to see Mona Lisa, you may have the rest of the 3rd floor almost for yourself.
It is worth the money only if you go to two places on the same day; if you don’t, you might lose money. The thing is that you might be too tired to be able to go to a second place the same day. And I am 34 years old, still with plenty of energy. It is also worth it for Versailles, as it is quite an expensive plan (27 euros the full entrance). You need to have spare time to go pick up the Paris Museum Pass (if you bought it online), as you have to have the physical card
If you are a planner like I am, then this is an ideal way to prepare for a special trip to Paris. The location to get your passes is a short walk from the Louvre, the staff inside is professional and friendly, and we opted to do the Seine River cruise to gain a different perspective of the wonderful city of Paris. Make sure you make a reservation for the Louvre after you purchase your passes to secure your entry!
The pass allows access to most of the bigger museums, however there is a limit of how many museums you can see per day, as some require quite long visits. Sometimes it might be cheaper to pay for each invidividual museum, if you don't have that much time to spend. But I enjoyed having this pass, although I found it annoying that I still had to queue for some museums.
Loved this pass -I got to skip most of the lines and it covered all of the museums that I wanted to see. When planning your trip, keep in mind that this pass does not let you skip the line at the Lourve or Versaille, so if you want to see these attractions, make sure you get there early.
The Paris Musuem Pass is not only a great value but very convenient. We used out 48 hour pass to visit the Louvre, Musee D’Orsay, Versailles Palace, St Chappel, and Arc De Triomphe. Be sure to book your reservations for each site, though. I highly recommend this pass.
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.
