Louvre entrance price and tariffs

This page helps you understand Louvre entrance prices and the different tariffs for visiting the Louvre Museum in Paris. Official tariffs may change; we recommend checking current rates on the museum website or with ticket sellers before purchasing.

Standard tariff and admission ticket

The Louvre offers a ticket for the permanent collections and, depending on the period, some temporary exhibitions. The standard tariff applies to adults from 26 years old (excluding free-admission conditions). The price shown on booking platforms may include booking or handling fees; compare offers to find the best value. A timed or skip-the-line ticket may be slightly higher but saves time at the entrance.

Discounts and free admission at the Louvre

Admission to the Louvre is free for under-18s (with ID), for 18–25 year-olds resident in the EEA (with ID), for jobseekers and recipients of certain benefits (with ID), and for disabled visitors and their companion (with ID). On the first Sunday of the month from October to March, admission is free for everyone (subject to current policy). ID must be shown at the entrance. Even when admission is free, booking a time slot may be required in peak season.

Skip-the-line and timed ticket prices

Skip-the-line or timed tickets let you enter the museum with little or no queue. The Louvre entrance price for these options is often a bit higher than the standard ticket bought on site, but the time saved and guaranteed entry at a set time make them a good choice for visitors with a tight schedule or visiting in peak season. Online booking platforms usually offer these options; check conditions (cancellation, changes) before paying.

Combined deals and packs

Some sellers offer deals combining Louvre admission with other activities: Seine cruise, another Paris monument (Eiffel Tower, Orsay, etc.). These packs can offer a good tariff if you plan several visits. Compare the total cost with buying tickets separately to make sure the deal is worthwhile.

Guided tours: tariffs

Guided tours of the Louvre (group or private) cost more than a simple admission ticket. The price usually includes museum entry and the services of a guide. Themes vary: masterpieces, Egyptian antiquities, Renaissance, Mona Lisa, etc. If you want a guided tour, book in advance as places are limited.
