It all looks nice, but it's too big. The staff do not give proper descriptions; they purposely send you on a wrong or long path so that you would ve forced to see their pieces. The interior maps are not helpful either. There is an entrance fee, but we went during the Nuit des Musées, which was the day on... More

Most people want to view Mona Lisa; however the museum has so much more. You could easily spend several days there. I have visited this museum twice in 2009 and 2013. It is impossible to have a leisurely tour of the museum due to the crowds. There are less crowds at Musee d'Orsay and no crowds at Musee Orangerie and... More

We used our museum pass and bypassed the long lines. You need several hours to really enjoy the Louvre. There was a huge crowd around the Mona Lisa, but we were able to get some pictures. Well worth it.

We enjoyed the Louvre more than we expected. We were looking forward to the d'Orsay more than the Louvre but knew we could not go to Paris and miss it. As many people of have already said the museum and collection is huge and can be overwhelming. The printed museum guide does a great job of highlighting how to quickly... More

We didn’t pre-book for the Louvre so had to wait about 30 minutes to actually get into the place via the glass pyramid which was actually just an atrium to far more inside! I mistakenly thought that walking into the building from the street was the museum, but the vast courtyard was just the start of it. I found out... More

A definite must see - if not for everything housed in it, for the architecture. Simply beautiful. Be careful of the people outside selling things or asking for donations though - rife with pick pockets.

you could spend a whole day here and never see everything! just be ware of the pick pocketers near the museum. They like to target tourists...

The French did it right when they built this museum. While it can be a bit intimidating to navigate, the museum maps do a great job of quickly getting you to the main attractions (Venus di Milo, Mona Lisa, etc.). The cost is reasonable (11 Euros per person). Plan to spend a full day here if you really want to... More

The place is too big, I can't finish walking in a day! Ended up, me and my girlfriend just look for Mona Lisa and we left to continue our tour in Paris. It's a very nice place, but time did not permit both of us to continue further. Must visit to anyone even if it's a long queue.
