Louvre Museum (Musée du Louvre)
Best time to visit
Early morning on weekdays, when galleries are quieter and lines shorter; late evenings on days with extended opening offer fewer visitors and a calmer pace.
Budget tips
Standard timed-ticket admission applies; Paris Museum Pass covers entry, free admission is available for under 18s and EU residents under 26, and the museum offers free entry on the first Saturday evening of each month and on Bastille Day, so book online in advance to avoid queues.

About
Hurtige fakta: Over 380.000 genstande indgår i samlingen, men kun omkring 35.000 er udstillet. Glaspyramiden kaster klare reflektioner på marmorgulvene, og hvert år strømmer næsten ni millioner besøgende gennem salene.
Højdepunkter: Forestil dig at stå i en sal med over 35.000 udstillede værker, hvor Mona Lisas lille, gådefulde smil nu skimtes bag pansret glas efter tyveriet i 1911 og hærværket i 1956. Stemningen føles næsten rituel: vagter går præcise runder, skoleklasser hvisker bag afstandslinjer, og den tørre, støvede duft af gamle lærreder hænger i luften.
Insider tips
- Arrive at opening and head straight to the Denon wing for the Mona Lisa to avoid the midday crush.
- Enter through the Carrousel du Louvre entrance to often skip the longest Pyramid security lines.
- Wear comfortable shoes and carry a charged phone, the museum is huge and the official map app helps navigate.
- No-flash photography is allowed in most galleries, avoid large backpacks or use the cloakroom to speed security.
