About this tour

Home to the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and countless paintings, sculptures and antiquities spanning millennia, the Louvre rewards both quick visits and leisurely wandering.

What to expect
You'll arrive within your reserved window and enter via the pyramid. From there, the Louvre is yours to explore — no guided group, no set route. Pick an audio guide if you want context, or drift between galleries following your interests. Three hours suits a selective approach: perhaps the big-name paintings, then a wing of sculpture or decorative arts. The museum sprawls across three buildings; map out priorities beforehand or accept you'll only scratch the surface. Expect crowds, especially near famous works, but your staggered entry keeps initial congestion manageable.
Good to know
Arrive 15 minutes before your timeslot. Wear comfortable shoes — the palace covers ground. Lockers and cafés exist inside. Many visitors hire audio guides at entry; download the Louvre app beforehand as an alternative. Photography allowed in most galleries (no flash). Transport links (métro, bus) connect directly to the museum.
