Biglietto d'ingresso al Museo del Louvre con audioguida

One would expect the world's most visited museum to be good, and it didn't disappoint. The breadth of exhibitions, countries and periods on display is huge, you'd probably need an entire day to properly see everything there. A tour might be a good idea, so that the highlights can be picked out in a shorter amount of time. The audio guides were very high tech with a map built in, can recommend for only €5. The facilities are quite average though, the cafe isn't ridiculously priced, but the toilets lack the same cleanliness of the rest of the museum. Overall, I can recommend anyone in Paris to go, as some things are just truly spectacular.

Huge place worth the visit... a must when in Paris. Aside from world famous pieces (Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, etc) the museum showcases other less known but equally amazing masterpieces by Manet, Titian, Ingres... names I never really knew till this visit! Haha! Aside from classic Renaissance painting (all gorgeous they have to be seen to be believed!). The museum facilities are also really world class. There are digital lockers in the cloakroom (free), audio guides sponsored by Nintendo (with Switch console orientation) although I think their 3d and navigation maps can be improved, loads of benches and chairs for sitting inside the galleries, cafes and many toilets. They really designed it to accommodate the huge volume of tourists. Would recommend buying tickets ahead online and if you are an individual traveller (I.e. non-group purchase) you can go straight into the building without needing to queue at the pyramids outside. You'll be pressured to see all the showcase piece from the get-go, so if you have time, come back a 2nd day to explore some of the other galleries with equally fascinating exhibits! The maps are also crap so try to study the layout of the different floors ahead of time especially if you're in a rush!

I've always loved art, even as a child, and the Louvre has been the #1 museum on my list to visit for so many years. Now, I can remove it from my bucket list because I made it to the Louvre and it was everything I imagined! It's large, crowded, filled with incredible art, you'll need months just to go through each gallery to fully appreciate the amazing works of art and objects here. I spent four hours here and I barely scraped the surface of what the Louvre has on offer. The audio guide is worth the 5 Euros and essential in providing context to the most famous works of art you'll see. Naturally, the showstopper is the Mona Lisa, which I made a beeline for the moment I entered the museum. I've read about the Mona Lisa since I was a kid and I wanted to see what the hype was all about. It's smaller than you think, demure and humble, just ignore the hundreds of gawkers (me included) gawping at it behind the barrier. Even if you're not an art lover, I think most people would enjoy spending a few hours at the Louvre, soaking up art, beauty and culture. You won't regret it.
