We went on a half day organised small group (max 20 people) tour of this great place. Our tour guide was fantastic, so informative, we saw all the wonderful artworks. A great day! More

To say the Louvre is massive is an under statement, but for anyone with the slightest interest in Art, this is the place to go. Most visitors will race to see the Main Exhibits, such as the Mona Lisa and Venus, but delve further into the extensive galleries over several levels and you will be rewarded by often surprising finds....

Yes during the peak tourist season it is abnormally humid and crowded, however to be surrounded by centuries of history makes you speechless. If you are a true art lover allow for a few days, but one day is sufficient to experience the true wealth that is The Louvre. Also, be extra patient when you go otherwise it might ruin... More

This museum has everything, and one could easily spend a week there. Plus the museum building itself is absolutely remarkable. More

Deffinitly Dont miss this. Its a must see. However, Dont go overboard trying to see everything. Theres so much that you will probably tire yourself out and even get dizzy. the crowdedness doesnt help that matter either. Plan to see key things and accomplish your goal. You'll be mesmerized by the famous amazing art. Especially the Mona Lisa. When I... More

Accept up front that you will only see a little in each visit. Very large... We went on a Friday evening about 5pm & it was WONDERFUL - walked right in & very few crowds. Stayed till 9pm - enjoyed Napoleon's Apartments (little version of Versailles!) More

wonderful, but watch out for the crowds. Went with a tour group, and unfortunately only had a few hours time to get there by bus (terrible Parisian traffic), and then only saw the major pieces like Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo. Better off taking the metro (very easy to navigate) and touring the Louvre at your leisure without a... More

An amazing place to wander- and admire so many pieces you have heard about all your life! At least for me. Beautiful place, from floor to ceiling! More

From the Mona Lisa to the Venus de Milo, this is the largest museum I have ever visited. Lots of amazing classics to see in person. It would take someone a whole day to see it all! Bewares that it is a VERY busy place, especially on the weekends. The bathrooms are pretty dirty, which surprised me. Most of all,... More
