Michael CampanellaNovember 15, 2014The world's most famous art museum as absolutely worth visiting when in Paris. If there is a long cue at the glass pyramid try entering from the adjacent shopping center.

Varun ShettyJune 20, 2014You could spend many days here. OR just 90 minutes. Follow my plan and you'll see the highlights and walk past a lot of great stuff. Don't be that guy who looks defeated in the museum - trust me.
Upvoted 1 week ago- Artyom FedosovJuly 27, 2016Iconic place to spend whole day enjoying excellent paintings and beautiful statues. Total near 400.000 items. Meet the legacy of humanity.

FahadDecember 16, 2023The Louvre Museum is a national art museum in Paris. Great paintings and a lot of statues you will find it here. It’s really a huge place with amazing special area to see Mona Lisa!

ZakiJune 22, 2018We spent the entire day there and we have visited two sections only, it worth the visit, I would consider it as a time machine that will take you back in centuries.Better to accompany interested ppl.
Spiros TheocharisJanuary 1, 2017I've been there twice and I would still like to visit it once more. A place where you can find all different sorts of artistic creation in human history.

- Varun ShettyJune 19, 2014Is the line insane? Cross the Tuileries, go to Musée de l'Orangerie, buy a Paris Museum Pass (and visit their awesome collection) and then come back to the Louvre and skip the line. Genius!
Adam V.August 7, 2017Go during offseason (Feb-March), on a weekday, and arrive right when they open. You'll have many rooms to yourself for a good hour before the crowds start to roll in.
Samira MajdOctober 5, 2017The ticket-selling guys kinda make a decision for you!! Make sure to stand your grounds talkin to them, make sure to see mona lisa and make your list of things to see before you go to Louvre!
Chris GOctober 30, 2017If you are limited to a short visit, make a list of the top things that you want to see, otherwise you'll get lost in all of the other great items in the collection.
On busy days, enter via the Porte des Lions. You'll have direct access to the main drag Halls of Spanish and Italian Painting.... this can be a good or a bad thing, if you are trying to avoid crowds.
DevontaJuly 7, 2015The museum is AMAZING! Such beautiful artwork. It was very packed and the Mona Lisa (which is very small) was swarmed. American in Paris ❤️
Dr. MOHAMMED ALDAWSARIDecember 4, 2021It’s a best museum I have visited ever. All of the culture and history of the world are available here . I really enjoy my time and it deserves to spend your time here .
Stacy Bo BacyMay 4, 2019If you spent 60 seconds looking at each of the objects at the Louvre, going steadily for eight hours a day, it would take you 75 days to see them all. It’s huge and well worth doing with a tour guide.
Jeku ArceMarch 19, 2015Take the hidden entrance off the subway exit in the basement next to the Apple Store. Get there before 830 in the AM and rush to the Mona Lisa. It'll be crowded with tourist groups later in the day.
Ghazal KohandelFebruary 11, 2017Free entrance if you're an icomos member.really worth a visit although it's so big that u won't be able to see all,so choose what u r willing to see at the beginning
If you’re a EU citizen under 26, you can get in for free by just showing your ID at the ticket controls.
MidiaJune 19, 2017Louvre beautiful louvers, here is amazing and u need at least 3 days to visit all parts. If u are tourist u need to bring ur passport or ID card for audio guide. The audio guide is a bit complicated
Jessica BarnettJune 4, 2018Incredible museum with amazing history & architecture. Download the app & bring headphones. Masterpieces tour via the app/audio tour is fantastic. Beat the crowds: buy tickets online & arrive early!
Joel Cano Jr.May 19, 2013For 5 €, get the Nintendo DS Tour, it's intuitive to your location and has pre planned itineraries based on time and interests, better than a guide, detailed explanation of every piece
A ton of people here. Easily get lost!!! Mona Lisa hall packed all time. Check out Islamic sections! Buy entrance ticket at Le Carrousel du Lourve. Minimum 3-4 hours visit, Enjoy!
Brady ThompsonDecember 31, 2016It's humongous, so grab a map at the info booth at the entrance. So much to take in, you probably won't see everything, even in an entire day there. Great place to spend a few hours.
💎TJanuary 20, 2017Make a beeline to the Mona-Lisa! Once you've fought through the crowd for a glimpse of her and fought your way back out, you can now stroll calmly through the rest of this amazing museum.
Carlos RangelJanuary 4, 2022One of the most visited museums in the world, take your time and book at least one day to look at all the paintings and sculptures that reside there, don’t forget to admire the Mona Lisa (La Gioconda)
Abdulrahman Almunayes 🇰🇼January 2, 2023Very nice museum, book with a guide better/ skip the line, very long waiting time for tickets, you need at least 3-4 hours for fast tour! if you want to read stuff then its full day!
Karyna N.October 18, 2019In the museum there are a lot of different sculptures, painting and artifacts that are really beautiful. In my opinion, everyone should visit it :)
Julie AvraJune 11, 2018I arrived right at 9am and waited an hour and a half between security, tickets and audio guide! Visit galleries with non-western art, such as the amazing Islamic art wing
AtheerAugust 27, 2016Before visiting this museum I would recommend you to-Book your ticket online.-Plan out what you want to see the most.-Get one of their guide headphones (for 5 Euros).
AncaFebruary 8, 2013Fridays they museum is open until 9:30 but they stop handing out audio guides at 8. Very impressive and worth a visit but don't expect to see all of it at once. Very overwhelming!
Eman AbdulazizAugust 3, 20151/Go early. Try to buy the tickets from any place except from the Louvre pyramid, as it's crazily crowded. Be specific abt what showrooms u should visit.
- João GonçalvesOctober 16, 2016Louvre is probably the most well known museum in the world, and it deserves that recognition. Exhibitions are great, there's tons of things to see (impossible to check it in 1 day).
StudentMarch 28, 2019One is my favorite museum in Paris,usually there is a big line to get inside. this museum is a huge,big collection of French painters,Italian painters.Highly recommend this museum
Muire McCallionApril 12, 2015If you are pressed for time then it's a good idea to plan your visit around what you want to see - this place is HUGE. Audio tour is fantastic and delivered on a Nintendo 3ds.
Nico PitneyJune 4, 2014Nothing else like the Louvre. Open late on Wed and Fri - smaller crowds and beautiful sunset views with your art! The audio tour from their app was very helpful, make sure you've got full battery.
Paige CAugust 15, 2019Seeing the Mona Lisa takes a long time but if you really want to see her, it’s worth it. But the rest of the museum is very beautiful so take some time to walk around.
-M. O.July 24, 2015Wow just wow. Have always wanted to see some of the artwork here. A MUST if you're in Paris. Wear some good walking shoes and bring some water.
Jomana AJuly 24, 2015Learn about any culture you could think of under 1 roof, Don't miss the sarcophagus at the Sully wing and Napoleon apartments at the Richelieu wing
RemiDecember 29, 2014Long cold waiting que? Go straight to the "Caroussel le Louvre" under the giant triangle, it's warm and a much shorter line. Even better, buy tickets online and skip the que!
Juls TanSeptember 11, 2014You need at least 2 full days to see everything here. Get the audio guide! Buy the tickets online and collect it at rue d pyramids tourism center to avoid the loooooong line. Magnificent place
FaeDecember 3, 2016I finally had the chance to see Mona-Lisa. But it's a little bit hot and stuffy inside.I suggest you to carry your ID's with you because if you're 18 or younger you can enter the museum for free.
The best museum in the world! Has so much history about the world! Many people from the all the planet! I like very much!
María FernándezJune 10, 2014Enormous! If you really love art, arrive early and visit its main attractions (Da Vinci, Venus, Samotracia...). Then go to the rest of the museum, where you will be almost alone!
Amaal I.kApril 14, 2016Huuuuuuge be sure to go as early as you can so u can finish it without being in a rush ... Take the audioguide which is really helpful
Davis HallMarch 26, 2017The Louvre is as much about watching people than paintings. Yes, the Mona Lisa is a masterpiece, but so is the Veronese Last Supper which occupies the opposite wall. And the other masterpieces.
Sebastián MasadMay 28, 2015Please take your time to visit it. Is the best museum ever. The history of it and the collection it have are amazing. Da Vinci is amazing (I only saw 3 pieces of he).
AManda HUangJune 24, 2017Beautiful museum. Lots of tourist taking photos but well, it's a must do in Paris. Don't skip this area. It really is beautiful!
KyzeDecember 15, 2014The one place you should go to if you're in Paris. The line gets quite long and it's not comfortable while it's raining. If you want to see every art piece it will take you several hours.
Sophia AlexApril 26, 2017The Louvre, originally King Philip’s royal palace but now the world's most famous museum is a must-visit for anyone with a slight interest in art. Want to admire the Mona Lisa? Visit this museum! Read more
Gehlen ExumOctober 4, 2014Good mother of god. Avoid tourist season at all costs. Highly recommend buying the Paris pass- admission to all museums, and you get to skip the wait in line.
