Tips for Visiting Louvre Museum

Planning a trip to the iconic Louvre Museum in Paris can be an exhilarating yet overwhelming experience. With its rich collection spanning thousands of years of history, it's no wonder that the Louvre stands as one of the world's most revered cultural institutions.

Additionally, we at Happytripz are at your service to offer you guided tours that highlight the splendor of the Louvre with the insightful narration of our knowledgeable guides.

Best Times to Visit

  • Off-Peak Hours: Aim to visit during mid-week and avoid holidays to escape the crowds. Early mornings or late evenings on Wednesday and Friday allow you to explore more leisurely.
  • First Saturdays: Every first Saturday of the month, admission is free from 6 pm to 9:45 pm. However, expect it to be more crowded.

Purchase Tickets in Advance

Securing your tickets before your visit is a must. This not only saves you from long lines at the ticket counter but also guarantees entry on your desired date and time. Be sure to check online for the most current ticketing options.

Map Out Your Visit

The Louvre is immense, and it's simply impossible to see everything in one trip. Choose ahead of time the exhibits or pieces you most want to see. Not to be missed is the celebrated Mona Lisa, housed within the museum's labyrinth of galleries.

Wear Comfortable Footwear

With over 60,000 square meters of exhibition space, you'll be doing a lot of walking. Comfortable shoes are a must to navigate through the museum's expansive halls and corridors.

Consider the Louvre's Amenities

The museum offers coat checks, restrooms, and a variety of cafes and restaurants. Plan breaks into your visit to recharge and reflect on the incredible art you've seen.

Respect the Rules

Photographs are allowed, but flash photography is prohibited to protect the artwork. Similarly, be mindful of noise levels and the personal space of others to ensure a pleasant experience for all visitors.
