FAQs - The Paris Pass®

While our passes don't include public transport, they do have a variety of tours and sightseeing buses to choose from. Some might say that's even better than a busy public bus. Just saying.

As there are no names printed on your pass (only an email address is required), they make the perfect gift. All passes are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase, so you can gift them for use at a later date. 

Sorry, we don't. Our passes already give you great savings on sightseeing, so, unfortunately, we can't offer any further discounted rates on individual passes.

Pfft, this isn't your ex's Netflix account. Our passes cannot be resold or used by more than one person. We're sorry about that!

Some attraction partners let you book directly via the Go City® app, while others use a different booking process. You can find specific booking instructions in the 'Know before you go' section on each attraction’s page in the app or on our website.

Please note: When you make a reservation on the app, this will count towards your pass usage.

If you have an All-Inclusive Pass: your reservation must be made on a day in which your pass is, or will be, activated.

If you have an Explorer or Essentials Pass: your reservation will count as one of your choices.  

If you fail to show up, or do not cancel in enough time, your reservation will still count as one of your days/choices.

First off, are you sure you are using the correct billing address (it's the one listed on the bank statement)? 

Still no luck? Double-check the card number, expiry date, and CVV are all correct. And make sure it's still valid and has enough available balance. 

Sometimes, 3D Secure authentication can fail and your bank will decline the transaction as a safety precaution. Contact your bank to verify this transaction before reattempting to make a purchase.

If you can't find what you're looking for on our FAQs page, please reach out to us via our Chatbot and we'll point you in the right direction. This is the fastest, easiest way to get in touch.

Once your request has been reviewed, which is usually within 24 hours of receipt, we will process your refund within 7 to 10 business days (excluding weekends).

If you haven't received your refund after this time, please let us know and we'll look into it for you. 

Non-activated passes are valid for one year from the date of purchase, so you have plenty of time to plan ahead!

If you would like to check when your passes expire, you can do that using our automated chat service here. 

No, there’s no need to pick before you purchase. You can buy today and plan what you’re going to visit later.

Please note: some attractions require an advanced reservation, so we recommend making a booking as soon as you can to avoid missing out.

Reservation cancellations are at the discretion of the individual attraction. Follow the instructions in your booking confirmation or contact the attraction directly for more information. 

Remember, a missed visit may be automatically redeemed from your pass, so be sure to cancel if possible and avoid losing one of your days or choices.

Unfortunately not. You'll need to have your pass on the Go City app, or have the PDF downloaded to your phone or printed in order to enter attractions.

We accept PayPal, Google Pay, and Apple Pay as well as most debit and credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.

Confirmation emails can take up to four hours to receive (remember to check your junk mail!) due to our fraud check procedure which protects you from phishing, identity theft, and payment fraud.

Whilst we reserve the right to change our attractions lineup at any time and are confident our passes have all the top attractions you'll want to see, we understand that changes to your travel plans can be inconvenient. Here’s what you need to know:

Refunds

If the attraction you were looking forward to visiting is no longer offered and you no longer want your pass, you can request a refund. Our cancelation policy gives you 90 days from your purchase date to return any non-activated passes. If you purchased before May 1, 2026, you'll still be entitled to our 30-day refund policy. Visit our help center to request a refund.

Changing/Cancelling Reservations

If an attraction is no longer on the pass, you can change or cancel your reservations without any additional fees. Contact the attraction directly or log onto our reservation portal to manage your reservation.

Notification of Changes

Our app and website are always up to date, so be sure to check these out for the latest attraction information. We will not notify you if our attraction lineup changes.

We do not offer additional discounts for large groups as our passes already give you a significant discount on attractions. But we can help you to plan your group trip using our passes. Check out our group travel page for more information.

The Go City app is your key to exploring the city. Download for free to your Apple or Android device and follow the instructions in your confirmation email to sync your pass to the app. It’ll then be ready for scanning.

To help make your experience even better, we’ve loaded the app with tons of attraction info, tips, and a handy itinerary tool so you can plan your perfect trip.

Days must be used consecutively. 

Once you activate your pass, this will count as your first full day. You will then have the following consecutive days, depending on the duration you have chosen, to use it. For example, if you have a 3-day pass and activate it on a Tuesday, you’ll then have Wednesday and Thursday to visit all your chosen attractions.

Our child passes are for ages two to 17.

Plans changed? No sweat! Our cancelation policy gives you 90 days from your purchase date to return any non-activated passes. Click here to request a refund via our automated chat service.

If you purchased before May 1, 2026, you'll still be entitled to our 30-day refund policy.

Our passes are valid for full calendar days, not 24-hour periods. So, if you visit your first attraction in the afternoon and activate your pass, you’ll miss out on a morning of sightseeing. We recommend starting early, so you can get the most out of each day. Be sure to check each attraction’s opening times to plan your itinerary.

Certain attractions will require a reservation. If this is the case, you'll find all booking information listed on our reservations page and the individual attraction pages on our website and app. Some advance reservations will require a pass number or order reference number to secure your booking. But rest assured, this will not activate your pass.

Your pass will activate when you visit your first attraction.  

With a Paris Pass Explorer, you'll then have 30 days to use it. 

With a Paris Pass, the first day of activation will be when you visit your first attraction. You will then have the following consecutive days, depending on the duration you have chosen, to use it. For example, if you have a 3-day pass and activate it on the Tuesday, you’ll then have Wednesday and Thursday to visit all your chosen attractions. 

Your included Paris Museum Pass must be used in conjunction, within the same period and on a consecutive day basis as your Paris Pass. 

If you have a The Paris Pass Explorer, your pass will be activated when you visit your first attraction. You'll then have 30 days to redeem the rest of your choices.  

If you have a The Paris Pass, it'll be valid for the number of consecutive days that you have purchased. 

Remember, your Paris Pass and your Paris Museum Pass must be used in conjunction, within the same period and on a consecutive day basis. 

Please note: if you don't visit your first Paris Pass attraction until 5PM, that will still count as a full ‘day 1’. Please allow for this when planning your trip so you can make the best use of your pass and see as much of the city as possible! 

Each pass is subject to a purse value, which is based on the duration of the pass. The purse value is the maximum amount you can use, based on the standard gate price for each attraction. For example, with the 2-day adult Paris Pass, you can visit as many attractions as you like, up to the total cost of € 400.
