How does The Paris Pass® work?

The Paris Pass® offers you admission to dozens of top attractions in the city.

If you have a 3, 4 or 6-day pass:

There are two elements to your pass: a digital All-Inclusive Pass, and a physical Paris Museum Pass.

The digital All-Inclusive Pass can be synced instantly with the Go City app. You should collect your The Paris Museum Pass from the Big Bus Information Center when you arrive in the city.

Each pass has its own line-up of attractions, so please check which one you need to show for entry. You'll find these details under each attraction listing in 'know before you go'.

If you have a 2-day pass:

You will receive a digital All-Inclusive Pass, which can be synced instantly with the Go City app. This pass duration does not include any Paris Museum Pass attractions.

The Paris Pass® does not include Paris Metro tickets, so you will need to purchase these separately.

The Paris Pass® will be activated when you visit your first attraction.

Once your passes are activated, they will be valid to use for consecutive days of your pass duration. So, if you activated a 3-day pass on a Tuesday, you would have the whole of Tuesday, plus Wednesday and Thursday to use it. We recommend activating your pass early on in the day to make the best use of your time in Paris.

Many attractions will allow you to walk in on the day, but some need to be booked in advance. Be sure to check our reservations page before you travel to see which attractions require a booking. You can also find the booking details on each attraction's page under 'Know before you go'.

Remember, your pass only activates when you visit your first attraction, so making reservations won't activate your pass.

The Paris Museum Pass gives you access to 50 fantastic museums including iconic, must-visit landmarks such as the Louvre, the Musee d'Orsay, and the Arc de Triomphe. 

• 3-day Paris Passes include a 2-day Paris Museum Pass.
• 4-day Paris Passes include a 4-day Paris Museum Pass.
• 6-day Paris Passes include a 6-day Paris Museum Pass.

Please note 2-day passes do not come with a Paris Museum Pass.

Depending on the attraction, you will be required to show either your Paris Pass or your Paris Museum Pass to gain entry. Keep them both handy when you're out and about!

Please ensure that you collect your Paris Museum Pass on the day that you want to use it so you don't miss out on any of your must-visit attractions.

Just like The Paris Pass®, the Paris Museum Pass must be used on a consecutive-day basis. 

When you arrive in Paris, please collect your Paris Museum Pass from the collection point listed below. It's located just a 10-minute walk from The Louvre and other must-see museums, so you can start sightseeing straight away.  

Big Bus Information Center

The Big Bus Information Center is open daily from 9.30AM to 6PM. 

Our adult (18+) and child passes (ages 2-17) offer fantastic value on all Paris attractions. If your children are aged between 2-17, they are still able to enter some national museums for free! Therefore, before purchasing a Paris Pass for teenage travelers, we advise you to check entry prices with attractions directly and consider purchasing individual tickets instead.
