Traveler Notes

The world’s largest museum housing some of the most important art collections in history, the Louvre Museum is a must for anyone who is visiting Paris. As it tends to get very crowded, we opted to visit at night. It was a much more pleasant experience wandering through the galleries as there weren’t very many art enthusiasts or tourists that visit during this time.

Admission. €15 but free with Paris Pass.

Alternate Entrance. From the Metro, get off at Palais Royal Musée du Louvre. The underground shopping mall entrance of Le Carrousel du Louvre is the better option to use as the line here is never as long as the main entrance Pyramid line.

Best Time to Visit. Wednesdays and Fridays, between 18:00-21:45. Every first Saturday of each month the museum is open 18:00-21:45, admission is free.

So much to see and go in the Louvre. From the famous paintings like the Mona Lisa, hundreds of statues and carvings and also an ancient Egypt exhibit there is something for everyone. Allow a lot of time to visit here as it is huge and not the easiest to navigate

Spent the day at the Louvre museum and got to see the famous Mona Lisa!

Side note: pre book tickets or you’d stay in the longest line ever!
