Paris Museum Pass FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
What are the
participating museums?
There are over 60 museums and monuments in Paris and on the outskirts
of Paris that participate in the program. You can visit the Louvre,
Versailles, the Musée d'Orsay, the Rodin Museum, the Picasso
Museum, the Arc de Triomphe, the Sainte Chapelle and many, many
more.
Why is the
Paris Museum Pass worth buying ?
The Paris Museum Pass is worth buying for anybody who wants to fully experience
the museums and monuments of Paris. Participating museums and monuments
charge between 6.50€ - 20.00€ for entrance. During peak
tourist periods you will also have to spend a considerable amount
of time waiting in line to buy your entry tickets. That means that
if you are planning to visit two or more sites per day then it is a good idea to buy the Paris
Museum Pass. You will gain valuable time to enjoy
Paris, and you will probably save a considerable amount of money
as well.
What is the
number one reason why I should buy it?
Perhaps the greatest advantage of the Paris Museum Pass is the flexibility
that it gives you. During your visit to Paris you will frequently
find yourself in the situation where you see a famous monument that
is not on your planned agenda, but it looks interesting enough to
make a quick visit. But after considering the waiting time to buy
tickets and the unplanned additional cost, you may decide not to
visit.
For example, visiting Notre Dame cathedral is free, but walking
up to the top of the towers to see the great church bell and view
of the city will cost you 6.50€ and a visit down in the crypt will cost you another 3.30€. Or while strolling on the Champs-Elysees,
you see the Arc de Triomphe, and there are people walking around
at the top, but you decide against walking up yourself, because
it would cost 9.00€ plus a ten or fifteen minute wait to buy
tickets, just to take a look. With the Paris Museum Pass, all of
this is free; no waiting in line and no additional cost.
What if i buy
a 4 day pass and after I decide to extend it for 2 days?
The Paris Museum Pass cannot be exchanged or extended. If you think
you might want to visit museums for six days you should buy the
6 day pass. Or you could also buy 2 - 2 day passes and take a two day break from museums.
How does it work?
- Decide how many days you want to spend visiting museums and
monuments in and around Paris.
- Order the 2 day, 4 day, or 6 day Paris Museum Pass from this
website. You must order one pass for every adult. Children under
18 can enter most participating monuments and museums for free.
- Paris Net will deliver your pass(es) to your hotel on the date
of your arrival in Paris
-
Once you have the Paris Museum Pass, just fill
in your name and the start date and you are ready to visit your
first museum
- You can use the pass to enter any participating museum or monument
beginning on the start date for the number of days indicated on
the pass (i.e. if you purchase a 4 day pass and start using it
on Monday, it is good until the end of the day Thursday). You
skip the ticket purchase line and walk straight to the entrance
for ticket holders.
Wrap it all up for me, what's the story in a nutshell?
The Paris Museum Pass is something worth having. It gives you free
admission to almost every museum, monument or cathedral you ever
thought about visiting, plus a few more that you'll see or hear
about while you're in Paris - all without waiting in line. It's
something like flying first class, but instead of spending more,
most people will actually save money.
