How to visit the Louvre by ipninews

"It's huge, historical and unforgettable!"

How I did it: One year my ex and I made enough money to go abroad and he'd already been to Paris and London so he took me.

We spent a good 10 hours on a plane and took a taxi from the airport to a hotel along the seine a short walk from the Louvre.

We acquired special pre-paid passes to the Louvre so we went to an alternate entrance to the North of the usual entrance and got it much faster without a long wait.  It also allowed us to go in for 2 days so we could see everything.

Lessons & tips: some exhibits are only open on certain days, so if you want to see everything you have to plan ahead!

    Check out the Rembrandt! 10 months ago

    Don’t miss The Louvre if you ever get to Paris. Even if you are short on time, it is worth the visit. You have to check out the Rembrandt if it’s the only thing you do (it’s very small!). A little off topic, but I would recommend the museum pass if you are going to be there a few days! The museum pass allows you to visit all the museums you want and you don’t have to stand in line

    Leave me alone, I'm looking at art 16 months ago

    I want to be left at the Louvre for many days to enjoy the beauty of great works of art. Too bad we can’t touch.

    Missed it 16 months ago

    I missed a visit to the Louvre because it’s closed on Tuesday…and you guessed it, we went on a day trip on a Tuesday. The Paris Museum Pass is well worth it, especially if you plan on visiting the other museums. d’Orsay was lovely too!

    Incredible museum!

    You should consider getting a Paris Museum Pass, you save money and time, because you do not have to stand in line for tickets.

    Also if you are in Paris, I highly recommend seeing Sainte-Chapelle. It has the most impressive stained glass that I have ever seen.

    An Amazing Museum 18 months ago

    I just returned from my Europtrip that included a visit to the Louvre. Found a super secret entrance that avoided all lines to the inside!

    The major pieces of art I wanted to see were: da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory, Venus de Milo, Borghese Gladiator, and Michaelangelo’s Dying Slave.

    Due to time constraints, I only spent a short time there. I must go back someday!

    Paris, je t’aime!

    Visit The Louvre 21 months ago

    My wife and I have always wanted to visit Paris and of course the Louvre is a must. We have allocated two days for the museum itself and will spend the next two months coming up with a strategy of what we want to see the most in those two days.
