Visiting Le Louvre


Le Louvre is one of the most famous art museums in the world and is amongst the leading tourist attractions in the city of Paris. A visit to this museum is an absolute must for any art lover, and for any tourist visiting the city of Paris, the experience cannot be considered complete until this museum has been visited and appreciated. This is not only because of the world class art which can be found here, but also because of the museum’s amazing architecture and the place which it has in the history of the city.

As a tourist you should have no problem accessing Le Louvre due to the fact that it is open every day of the week with the exception of Tuesday. On most days the museum is open until 6PM, although on Wednesdays and Fridays you can enjoy the contents until 9PM. You should factor in the 30 minute closing period for the various rooms before the main doors lock.

There are various different options with regards to admission. You can purchase a full day ticket for just the permanent exhibition, a ticket for just the temporary exhibition or a joint ticket. For a slightly increased price you can access guide facilities, either in person or through the use of technology. Entrance to the permanent exhibition is free on the first Sunday of every month, but expect to have to queue!!!
