FREE ENTRY WITH
THE PARIS MUSEUM PASS!

50 museums in one ticket? Wow!
This is the ultimate pass if you ask me.
Museums, museums, museums. What more could you want?
OK, OK, a trip up the Eiffel Tower would probably be nice. It’s a shame that’s not included with this pass, to be honest.

The best thing about the pass? The more museums you visit, the better value it is!

Top tip: If you’re visiting Paris with kids or people who aren’t all that keen on museums, you’d probably be better off buying the Paris City Card.

​Important info:

Think carefully about when you activate your pass. Even if you activate it towards the end of the day, that will count as your first full day. It’s best to activate your pass early in the morning, so you maximize your time.
Let’s say you’re in Paris from Thursday morning until Sunday evening, and you buy a two-day pass. Don’t activate it when you arrive – wait until the Friday morning!

HOW MUCH
WILL YOU SAVE?

1. Let’s say you’ve bought the two-day pass for EUR 79 and are planning an early start on day one and a late finish on day two.
2. Then let’s imagine you visit five museums on the list. Remember that you might want to leave time for a visit to the Eiffel Tower or Montmartre, which aren’t included with the pass. So you’d be planning to fit seven attractions into your two days. That’s going to keep you busy!

Now for the sums…

Admission Louvre: EUR 25
Admission Center Pompidou: EUR 15
Admission Sainte-Chapelle: EUR 13
Admission to Versailles: EUR 21
Admission Arc de Triomphe: EUR 16
Total: EUR 90 -> a saving of EUR 11

If you now manage to visit another sight – for example, the Musée d’Orsay – then you save another EUR 16! And so forth…

1) You have to go and pick up your Paris Museum Pass!

Where from? At the office of one of GetYourGuide’s local partners:
Rue d’Aboukir 23, 75002 Paris

Luckily it’s only a ten-minute walk from the Louvre.

WHAT ELSE
DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?

2) Children under the age of 18

… get free entry anyway, so they don’t need anything other than their passport.

 

3) Think carefully about who you’re on your trip with.

Remember that time is money! The more museums you can visit in the allocated time, the better value for money the pass will end up being. If you’re travelling with children or perhaps older people or even someone who drags their feet because they don’t enjoy museums, your pace is probably going to be slower than you expect…
