Biglietto d'ingresso al Museo del Louvre con audioguida

World renowned museum so it’s a must see in Paris. Art and history lovers will come here multiple times. This was my second time. Lots of people (expected), everything is overpriced (expected), audioguide was ineffective - not expected. First time I came to the Lourve everything was in French but there were numbers next to each art exhibit so all you had to do was enter the number and hear the story. Now they are using Nintendo DS as the audioguides. Very hard to use and the location feature is not the best. My advice is to get a guided tour and stay away from the new audioguides.

I loved my Louvre visit - my hands down favourite part of my Paris visit. My 9 a.m. tickets were booked online a week ahead. i arrived at 8:40 and there were maybe 100 people in line already with 9 am tickets. I (and others) basically ran to see the Mona Lisa first - arriving at 9:10. There is a queuing roped-off system in place. I took many closeup pics and then exited the area. After that point, I relaxed, backtracked and THOROUGHLY enjoyed the remainder of my three hour visit. People come in waves, so you can linger by your favourites as long as you want and get unobstructed pictures. From the The victory of Samothrace, try going left to the octagonal room (look at the ceiling for a male figure falling from the sky) and then the Apollo Gallery. The Regent diamond, the King's crown, the jewels and the ornate drinking goblets, etc. from the French kings were jaw dropping. The ceilings in this area - fabulous. My enjoyment of these areas was immense, I must have stayed for a good half hour in this gallery and really absorbed it. Now to the right of the Winged victory you come upon a long hallway the length of three football fields dedicated to the Renaissance. There are five Leonardo's in a line about 1/4 of the way down. Adored Raphael's La Belle Jardinière that barely anyone noticed. I enjoyed many paintings throughout the Denon wing. Later in the Sully wing Venus deMilo and Michelangelo's slaves were unbelievable. You cannot compare looking at pictures - to actually being there in person. I filled my memory bank. See attached pics. Gauge your need for a washroom or food break, because by 12 p.m. there are long lineups for both. Top tip: You will struggle greatly if you depend solely on paper maps to guide you - you need some sort of audio guide to give you a background on what you're looking at, and to direct you. Download Rick Steves' audio guide of the Louvre as a backup plan. I was thankful I did. Enjoy, it is a wonderful, breathtaking place. I cannot wait to return.

Not a huge art fan but you can't not visit here when in Paris. Great to see some of the art and statues. We did the audio guide but tbh I wasn't a fan as it's way too interactive and doesn't flow as you would expect . Other than that , yep recommend
