What to expect

You'll receive a timed ticket that lets you enter directly without queuing outside. Once inside, the sprawling galleries are yours to navigate solo—no guide narration, just you and the paintings. The Mona Lisa sits behind reinforced glass in a dedicated room, typically crowded; plan your visit strategically if you want a closer look without jostling crowds. Expect to spend anywhere from an hour (hitting highlights only) to a full day (leisurely room-by-room exploration). The Delacroix museum is a smaller, quieter counterpoint—a townhouse studio filled with sketches and personal effects, reachable within two days of your Louvre visit.

Good to know

Ticket fees are included; audio guides and live tours cost extra. Security screening still applies at entry (skip-security isn't part of this ticket). Prams and strollers are permitted. The museum is fully wheelchair accessible with accessible transport links nearby.
