This is the most basic option to visit the Louvre, as there are other options with different prices and more complete, but if you want to visit the museum at your own pace, this is the type of ticket that I recommend.

• Priority access service.
• Access to permanent and temporary exhibitions (subject to availability).
• Access to the Eugène Delacroix Museum (on the reserved date).

Why buy this ticket?

A basic ticket of this type to the Louvre Museum is ideal if you like to make cultural visits on your own, staying in each room as long as you want depending on the time you are going to take touring the Louvre Museum and moving from one to another at your own pace, without rushing.

I also recommend it if you have a clear idea of what you want to see and know in advance the history of each art piece or if you have already been to the Louvre on previous occasions.

From79 € you can book your guided tour of the Louvre Museum. Being one of the largest cultural institutions in the world, if it is the first time you visit the Louvre, being accompanied by a tour guide is the best way to know it because it will help you to have an overview of its collections, to know the secrets of the most important works of the Louvre and, ultimately, to soak up culture.

In addition, in general, with tickets for a guided tour of the museum you will avoid queues and you can make a quick entrance to the building to start the tour without delay. Something that in a museum of these characteristics, where the queues can be kilometers long, is a positive point to take into account.

What does this entrance ticket usually include?

• Entrance to the Louvre Museum.
• Licensed tour guide.
• Preferential access without queues.
• Small groups.

Why buy this ticket?

If this is the first time you visit the Louvre Museum, I recommend you to take a guided tour as you will get the most out of the experience. This way, you will have a better context about the site you are visiting, its history and the works of art inside.

Another reason to buy a ticket for a guided tour of the Louvre Museum is that although you may not be too fond of art, the guide knows how to liven up the experience and make it entertaining.

Thanks to the work of the guide you will learn a lot of curiosities, he will tell you fascinating stories and will make you notice details that might go unnoticed if you do the museum tour on your own. Little things that make the difference in the end!

In Hellotickets you have the possibility to combine your visit with another activity. Specifically, you can book your ticket to the Louvre Museum and a cruise on the Seine from 52 ¤.

A 2 for 1 plan: on the one hand, you will contemplate the great masterpieces of this art gallery as *The Coronation of Napoleon *, *The Mona Lisa * or *The Lacemaker * and also live the experience of sailing on the Seine, from where you will have panoramic views of the main monuments of the "city of love" as the Eiffel Tower or the Cathedral of Notre Damme.

• Cruise on the Seine River.
• Entrance to the Louvre Museum.

Why buy this ticket?

The great advantage is that you will be able to enjoy two of the most popular activities at an affordable price and you will be sure not to run out of places in either of the two plans.

That's right! From 228 ¤ you can book the Paris Pass for 4 days on Hellotickets. Minimum number of days you have to buy it to get free access to the Louvre Museum. In addition, with this card you will not have to queue at the ticket office to get your ticket and you can make the most of your stay in Paris without worrying about your budget.

In short, it is a super complete pass because it also includes access to the tourist bus, a cruise on the Seine and even public transport in the city. If you want to know more about the advantages of the Paris Pass, don't miss the post Paris Pass: how it works and what it includes where you will find an exhaustive analysis of this pass.

General admission at the Louvre Museum box office costs about 15 ¤ and covers both permanent and temporary collections. Therefore, there are no reduced rates to enter the building.

If you decide to buy your tickets for the Louvre at the box office you can save a couple of euros, but in return you will have to keep there very long queues that can last between 40 minutes and 2 hours and you risk that when your turn comes at the window, the tickets are already sold out for the date and time you want to visit.

Therefore, it is not the option that I recommend. My advice is to buy your tickets to the Louvre Museum online in advance because this way you will ensure your place on the day you want, you will save all that waiting time at the ticket office and you will avoid getting tired before doing the tour inside.

Yes, it is possible! On July 14, Bastille Day (France's national holiday), admission is free all day long.
