How does The Paris Pass® work?

The Paris Pass® is a 2-in-1 pass sightseeing package offering you admission to over 75 attractions in the city.

With your purchase, you will be given two passes – The Paris Pass® and Paris Museum Pass.

The Paris Pass will be emailed to you instantly and the Paris Museum Pass will need to be collected from a redemption 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 to get in to your chosen attraction. 

Choose from 2, 3, 4 or 6 consecutive-day durations and you can visit as many attractions as you want within that time (although repeat entry isn't allowed – sorry!)

Please note: The Paris Pass® does not include Paris Metro tickets, these will need to be purchased separately.

Both The Paris Pass® and Paris Museum 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.

Please note: if you purchased your pass from August 29th to October 3rd, 2021, your pass will be activated when you pick up your Paris Museum Pass at the redemption center. 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.

The Paris Museum Pass is included with The Paris Pass® and 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. 

• 2-day and 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.

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!

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 Paris' other must-see museums, so you can start sightseeing straight away.  

Big Bus Information Center
11 Avenue de l'Opéra
75009 Paris

Open daily from 10AM to 5PM

Please note: if you purchased your pass from August 29th to October 3rd, 2021, collecting your Paris Museum Pass will activate your Paris Pass. We recommend picking your Paris Museum Pass up early to make the most of each day and maximize your time in the city.

For many attractions on the pass, there's no need to pre-book. However, several have limited slots or capacity, so you'll need to book in advance.

You'll find all the reservation details on the individual attraction pages under 'Know before you go' or on our reservation page.

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.
