The most beautiful museum in the world stuffed to the gills with the most beautiful and inspiring works of art is not to be missed. It is worth going here for the apartments themselves, never mind the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo or the egyptian displays. To save time we entered through the Carousel du Louvre, the shopping area accessable... more

Whether you take a guided tour or just meander on your own, the Musee du Louvre will impress anyone who has an appreciation for art. With only a day and half in Paris I had placed the Louvre on my priority list of places to visit and was not disappointed. It is magnificient, If I return to Paris I will... more

If your time is short and you want to get the most out of your visit, I highly recommend getting a guided tour. We used Paris Walking Tours, Daniel met us and gave us a 3+ hour tour of the museum. He is an excellent guide and his knowledge about the museum and the artwork is excellent. There is no... more

It was big and there is a lot to cover. I think the audio guide would have been nice and I wish maybe I did more research about what I wanted to see before I went (don't depend on Rick Steve's book, you'll be done in 30 minutes). We hit the high points quickly (Mona Lisa, Venus, et. al) and... more

I was terribly disappointed in my last visit to the Louvre. Although only late April, the crowds were enormous, so much so that the air-conditiioning was completely overpowered. This can't be good for the paintings! There was no place to sit and reflect on the paintings due to the crush of people. We finally escaped to another wing where it... more

Our family of four went with a private guide, Daniel Freeman, of Paris Walking Tours. It was a three hour overview of the most important pieces in the museum, with emphasis on the architecture of the buildings as well, as it was a sumptuous over- the -top palace before it was ever a museum. We felt quite satisfied with our... more

I went to the Louvre yesterday but since I went in at 17:15 and the museum closed at 17:30 I was allowed to re-use my ticket without it having been torn. Use Richelieu Entrance for pre-booked tickets so no queueing. Will post as a goodwill gesture. No catch. It's worth EUR 10 so I'd like someone else to enjoy the... more

We got there an hour early with the museums pass cause we were desperate not to queue that long and we were in as soon as it opened after an hour sat in the sun which was lovely. Beautiful building containing amazing art! We spent half a day in here and enjoyed every minute of it. Cafe was lovely and... more
