The journey

Trip highlights

01 Explore major Louvre masterpieces, including the Mona Lisa and Liberty Leading the People
02 Follow a classic route through the masterpieces of Western civilisation
03 Enjoy a hassle-free Louvre visit with skip-the-line tickets
04 Admire ancient Greek and Roman sculptures alongside the French Crown Jewels

The Louvre is vast, with about 14 km of exhibition space and 35,000 works of art on display, so trying to see everything in one visit can be tiring and challenging. With a guide, it is much easier to navigate the halls and corridors of the former Royal Palace, focus on its iconic treasures, and enjoy clear explanations along the way. Skip-the-line tickets make the visit more seamless, and if you are in Paris on a Wednesday or Friday, a late afternoon or evening tour is recommended for a more relaxing experience.
