The Paris Museum Pass – Save Euros & Skip The Lines

Paris is very popular… and very busy. That's why we are always looking for ways to avoid the crowds and skip past the long lines. That's goal number one for us. And, no different from you, we don't mind saving money whenever we can.

That's why we like the Paris Museum Pass — it gets you into the top museums and monuments, it saves you money, plus it includes a couple of extra perks. Most importantly, it lets you bypass the long Paris line-ups. Let's find out how the pass can make your visit even better.

6 Things To Like About The Paris Museum Pass

1. Get into Museums

The 4-day and 6-day Paris Museum Pass gives you unlimited museum entrances, because it includes the Paris Museum Pass as part of the package. Not just a few museums, mind you, but nearly all museums and monuments in Paris, including the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, Centre Pompidou, the Pantheon — the things you really want to see. And along with the big museums, you also get access to dozens of small, intimate museums.

2. Priority-Access Entry

To our way of thinking, the time you save not standing in lineups is alone worth the cost of the pass. We'd use our Paris Museum Pass even if we didn't save money, just to skip the long lines — it's that important. For example, the Louvre tickets lineup can be over an hour, and even longer for Chateau de Versailles.

3. Save Money

The Paris Museum Pass is a one-time purchase, everything you do with it is free. So, the more activities you do, the more museums you visit, the more you will save. How much can you save? Based on a busy 5-day itinerary in Paris, more than $100.

This pass was seriously the best! We were blown away by all the museums we were able to get into using the pass! You walked right up to the front of each line and didn't have to wait. As an art lover I was blown away with the Palace of Versailles, a must-see! Loved this pass!

4. Entry to the Palace of Versailles

Paris without a visit to Versailles? Not possible. Now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Versailles is the most-visited attraction in France. That kind of popularity means very long lines. With our pass you get to skip the line-ups and save your energy for wandering the Hall of Mirrors, the famous gardens, the Grand and Petit Trianon and the magnificent fountains.

5. Free Seine River Cruise

You can add a river cruise when you buy you Paris Museum Pass. The bateaux takes you past the best of Paris — the famous bridges, the Musée d'Orsay, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral. You'll instantly see how the river divides the Left Bank from the Right Bank and how close the monuments truly are to each other.

6. Visit the Small, Intimate Paris Museums

Another thing we really like about the Paris Museum Pass is that it takes you to places you might never normally discover — the museums and monuments that are smaller or less visited. The places where locals enjoy their city. Visit the stunning La Sainte Chapelle, the peaceful Rodin Museum (shown in the photo above), the Cluny Museum of the Middle Ages, and the Guimet Museum of Asian Arts. There are loads more.
