Paris Insiders Secret Weapon:
the Paris Pass

Breeze past the line-ups at
museums and monuments –
and ride the metro for free!

The Paris Pass – When you're planning a trip to Paris don't forget to get The Paris Museum & Metro Pass before you leave home.

“When we were in Paris last summer the Paris Pass definitely allowed us to skip every line at every site we went to. This includes the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Musée Cluny, the Orangerie and the Rodin Museum. Whenever we turned up at a museum the guard waved us to a secondary entry point and we were always inside within a minute or two.
I have to say I was shocked at how few people seemed to bother with getting a Paris Pass given the time you save by avoiding the queues is well worth it.”

This all-inclusive pass combines together the best Paris passes and transportation cards. It includes —
• The Paris Museum Pass,
• The Paris Landmarks Pass,
Paris Visite (the Metro pass), plus
Paris Attractions Pass

But there's more! The Paris Museum & Metro Pass includes additional special features like a river cruise, bus tour and wine tasting. The Pass also provides special pricing at some restaurants.

You'll zip past the line-ups at top Paris museums and monuments – and ride free on the Metro – with this great addition to your wallet.

You'll save time and money. In our opinion, though, the greatest feature is that it allows you bypass the ticket line-ups!

The Paris Pass is our recommendation. If you'll be spending time at museums and riding the Metro (which is the best way to get around), this combined pass will save you money, time and aggravation.
