Good tour-too much information!

This was a very good tour, but our guide gave us way too much information to absorb, got off track several times and prolonged the tour with even more information! Don’t get me wrong...great tour. Just please cut back on what amounts to over-information.

Picture Perfect #MonaLisa

Contrary to popular belief, you CAN take photos inside the art museum! But remember to turn your flash off. 

No camera on earth can do justice to an artwork “in the paint” as it were. So instead of trying to capture Renaissance masterpieces on a smartphone, why don’t you snap one of these photogenic spots from around this Paris art museum? 
  • The Pyramid: like it or love it, this controversial sculpture against the neoclassical building makes a great photo!
  • The Lamassu: enormous bulls with the heads of men, these colossal & ancient statues are truly insta-worthy. 
  • Musée du Louvre panoramic shot from Le Café Marly. With your admission to Louvre, you’ll see all this and more!
Got a winner? Choose your best snap from one of the three most instagrammable spots listed above, post it on your IG, and tag #dotravelgram to be featured. 

Louvre Museum Tickets: Visitor Tips

  • On Wednesdays & Fridays the museum is open later: stay for sunset views from the upper windows. 
  • Use the “secret Louvre entrance” of the Gallery at the Porte des Lions on the Georges Pompidou side.
  • Remember, drinks are expensive, and restrooms are few & far between when you visit the Louvre museum, so be prepared! 
  • Most of the descriptions of the artwork are in French only, so to truly understand & appreciate the collection, a guided tour is highly recommended.
  • With nearly 40,000 works in 300 rooms, don’t attempt to see it all! Plan ahead and spend quality time with a fine selection of art. 
  • 2-3 hours is the recommended amount of time to gain an appreciation for Paris’ best arthouse.
  • Short on time? Make the museum one of your top stops on a Paris hop-on hop-off bus tour.
  • As the largest art museum in the world, it is inevitably overwhelming. For a relaxing experience and to ensure you visit the Louvre highlights, book a Louvre museum tour and let your expert guide take you around.
  • If you want to visit outside Paris then taking a Palace of Versailles Tour is the best option to go for it.

Louvre Museum Tour: Prepare Your Visit

  • Wear comfortable shoes! The museum is spread over 60,000 feet and you may be walking for hours. Don’t let aching feet distract you from the stunning artwork.
  • Hydrate beforehand: there are very few drinking fountains in the museum and the beverages in the cafe are pricey. 
  • Download the Louvre App on your smartphone, for an interactive map of all the floors. 
  • This is the second most popular attraction in all of Paris, so expect huge crowds and long lines. If you don’t want to waste precious vacation times in the queue, purchase your skip the line Disney pairs tickets ahead of time.
  • The temporary exhibitions in Paris museums change all the time, check online to see what will be showing during your visit, as you may need separate tickets for the Louvre museum and other Paris attractions.
