Forget juggling tickets, this all-in-one digital pass lets you access over 45 top attractions, tours and experiences across the city. Oui, it’s as good as it sounds.
Let’s take a stroll through how The Paris Pass works, what’s included, and how to get the best value from your time in Paris. Allons-y!
How does The Paris Pass work?
Simply put, it’s your sightseeing cheat code. The Paris Pass is a digital multi-attraction pass that gives you entry to a wide range of city highlights.
Choose how many consecutive days you want the pass to last – 1, 2, 3, 4 or 6 – and then visit as many included attractions as you like within that time. If you opt for the Paris Pass Plus, you’ll also get a Paris Museum Pass and be able to visit even more top Paris Museums!
It includes must-see landmarks, museums, river cruises, tours and even a 1-day hop-on hop-off bus ticket to help you get your bearings in style.
Buying and activating your pass
Buy online – grab your pass on the official Paris Pass site or the Go City app for the best deal and to access full customer support.
Download the Go City app – your pass lives here! Use the link from your confirmation email to add it to the app, view attractions and find any need-to-know info.
Activate it when you’re ready – your pass only starts ticking once it’s scanned at your first attraction. So you can buy now, plan later.
Using your pass on the day
Using your Paris Pass is très simple. Just show your phone at the entrance of each attraction, and they’ll scan it for entry. Voilà!
Top tip: save your favorite attractions in the app and check for any required bookings before you go. You don’t want to miss that macaron-making class because it filled up!
What’s included on The Paris Pass?
Must-see landmarks – tick off Paris’s biggest bucket list attractions, from the romantic heights of the Eiffel Tower with a guided climb, to the grandeur of the Opéra National de Paris. Cruise past the city’s famous riverside scenery on a river cruise or take in sweeping views from an open-top bus.
Art & culture – step inside the world’s most-visited museum, The Louvre, where masterpieces like the Mona Lisa await, then head to the Musée d’Orsay for even more awe-inspiring artworks.
Food & drink experiences – sip and savour at a wine tasting in the Caves du Louvre, or go for a French classic with some macarons in Montmartre or a Croque Monsieur by the Seine.
Tours, activities & more – your pass also unlocks a huge variety of walking tours, bike rides and even photo experiences – perfect for adding a dash of fun and variety to your Paris itinerary.
With so much included, The Paris Pass makes it easy to discover Paris from every angle – and save big while you do it.
Plan ahead to maximize your time
Paris is packed with incredible sights, but with Metro changes, river crossings and so much to see, it’s easy to lose precious hours crisscrossing the city. Group attractions by area – for example, spend one day around the Eiffel Tower and Champs-Élysées, another exploring the Louvre and Île de la Cité, or head out to Versailles for a full-day adventure. This way, you’ll spend more time enjoying Paris and less time in transit.
Not a natural planner? No problem, we get it. Our free trip planning tool does the hard work for you. Just choose the attractions you want to see and how many days you have, and it’ll create a custom itinerary, map out the best routes, and store all your attraction details in one place. Handy, right?
Is The Paris Pass worth it?
Absolutely – if you want to see more for less. With top attractions easily costing €20–€50 a go, visiting even two or three per day can add up quickly. The Paris Pass makes it simple to bundle all those visits into one value-packed purchase.
For example, in just one day you could enjoy:
- Eiffel Tower Guided Climb (€39)
- Big Bus Hop-on Hop-off 1-Day Tour (€49)
- Wine Tasting at Les Caves du Louvre (€36)
That’s €124 worth of tickets in a single day, while a 1-day Paris Pass costs €89 — so you’re saving €35, which is about 28%. *

Don’t panic though – you’d have to be very ambitious to hit that.
