Buy your tickets online if you’re really impatient about waiting in line. Otherwise the standard wait to get through security isn’t bad, maybe 20 min max if you get there early in the day. This museum is massive and can take up the majority of your day. If you want to see everything it has, plan on setting aside a full day worth of your trip. The layout of the museum is available online so if there are only certain era’s or pieces you want to see you’ll be able to plan accordingly and it may only take a few hours (though you’ll be missing out on a lot of other stuff imo).
dont go in august!!! noisy, more crowded than a NYC subway. the grandeur and beauty of the place was overcome by C.R.O.W.D.S.!! tried to get a glimpse of the mona lisa, was damn near trampled! maybe go in january? so disappointed by noise/crowds which marred experience of a lifetime.
Don't buy from the ones offering tickets outside, the line seems long to get in but in 10 minutes we were inside, you buy tickets inside or you could online. Be prepared to walk alot, your phone full charged for photos, and bring some snacks and water with you, delay seeing the Monaliza to the end because it will be less crowded in Dennon section, don't set on the floor and eat there are chairs and tables in the ground floor. The bathrooms were not so clean and there was no soup or anything to clean with
Give yourself a day or more. Its no joke that there is lots to see. Plus you will find out that your interest is peaked by other areas of this place. Its a wonderful visit for not just the Mona Lisa.
Lots to see. They say you can’t see all of the Louvre in one day. Well, that’s mostly true not just because there are a lot of works of art, but because certain sections of the museum are closed on certain days. Make sure you choose wisely. I went on a Wednesday. The museum is open later than usual, but you’ll miss some French paintings.
Buy museum pass before going here to avoid long queue (important). You don't want to stuck hours in long queue. Come in the morning. Also check their opening hours in the website, since on certain day they open until late. Be sure to also visit the other wing (not the monalisa wing),since it is less crowded and you can enjoy paintings in peace.
Go to the Louvre on a Thursday, it's a lot quieter. Don't queue up at the pyramid; use the underground entrance next to the metro. If you're under 26, don't queue for a ticket, just show your passport at the entrance to the exhibitions
Choose hotels and restaurants that aren't "name-branded" chains. Explore side streets. Go to mass instead of just touring Notre Dame or Sacre Coeur. Visit the Louvre on Sunday when it is free to mingle with the locals. Take the metro instead of cabs. It's cheaper and can be part of the adventure if you live in a city without a subway.
Musee d'Orsay had an exhibition of Van Gogh's work which was amazing. I also really enjoyed Musee Rodin which has his sculptures displayed in the gardens which are worth a visit in their own right. The scent of roses was lovely. It is also great to watch the artists at work in the streets around Sacre Coeur Cathedral. The architecture of buildings in Paris is also really attractive and varied. And then there is the Louvre - really too much to take in on one visit.
Musee du Louvre is, in my opinion, the best starting place. Be prepared to spend a whole day there.
The Louvre and Musee D'Orsay for the major collections and The Orangery for Monet's Waterlillies for a taster of Impressionism.
If you pick your time it is not that busy. Definitely get onto a small group guide of the Louvre though
“Quaint, historic small hotel absolutely in best location on Seine, directly across from the famed Louvre Museum. We walked to wonderful restaurants, had amazing food and service. Were close to ticket office for our tours - Excellent! Oh, and their breakfast coffee was great!”
“Bargain price in a safe and expensive part of Paris. Hot water in shower, and daily housekeeping with new soap and towels Very near Chatelet Les Halles RER station and the Louvre Museum.”
“The room was beautiful - modern yet Parisian and decent in size with separate toilet and bathroom. The hotel is in an excellent location for sightseeing and shopping - within walking distance to the Louvre Museum and easy access to train station. I also like the thoughtful little details such as nice welcome biscuits and hot chocolate/ coffee machines in the room.”
“The room was very clean and comfortable. Staff was very helpful to provide useful information about the city. Location is exceptional-- only 5minutes walk from Louvre museum.”
“We love our stay here. Great location, cool neighborhood with nice restaurants, bar, and stores. 15 mins walk to Louvre Museum.”
