Paris Pass

The tourist card Paris Pass will save you time and money during your visit to Paris.

Below we explain the benefits, what's included, how to use it, and whether it's worth it.

Want the most out of the Pass? As we explain in our area-by-area guide, basing yourself near the Louvre or Le Marais puts you within walking distance of most included attractions.

Plus, we'll give you a 5% discount using the code AFFPP5 to purchase the card on the official website.

Always remember to check the today's price. Sometimes there are special discounts that you can combine with the discount mentioned above.

Also always check the updated list of places and activities on the official website.

Is It Really Worth It?

The first question you're probably asking yourself is: is it worth it, or is it just a rip-off?

The truth is that if you want to visit attractions and museums, take a river cruise, and join a tour, the answer is yes, without a doubt. Just remember that you need to make the most of each day by planning which included venues you want to visit.

Check out this sample itinerary you can follow with the 4- or 6-day card, which includes the Museum Pass:

1-day Hop-On Hop-Off bus tour with Big Bus (€39)
Visit the Louvre Museum (17€)
Go up the Eiffel Tower with a guided visit (€34)
Take a wine tasting at Les Caves du Louvre (€35)
End the day watching the sunset from the Arc de Triomphe (€13)

If you do it on your own, it adds up to €138 for just one day. But the 4-day Paris Pass costs €199 and you still have 3 more days to take advantage of it.

As you can see, by combining attractions and making the most of each day, you can save up to 50% on admission.

Benefits of the Paris Pass card

Once purchased, you will have free access to more than 75 tourist attractions and points of interest in the French capital and its surroundings (Versalles por ejemplo)
Plus, with your pass you can skip the ticket lines at places like the Louvre Museum and the Musée d'Orsay.
Another benefit it offers is that you won't need to spend cash. Access all the attractions included in the package simply by showing your card.
Avoid language misunderstandings: arrive at a venue, show your card, and you're all set.

These types of cards are well worth the investment. They help us get the most out of our visit while making it easier to get around.

The 4 days Paris Pass includes a Paris Museum Pass valid for 4 days.
The 6 days Paris Pass includes a Paris Museum Pass valid for 6 days.

How does the Paris Pass work?

It is activated the first time you scan it at an attraction and is valid for the consecutive days of your pass duration. 2, 3, 4, or 6 days.

That is, if you have a 2-day Paris Pass and activate it on Monday, Monday will count as your first day and Tuesday will be your last. That's why it's best to start using it first thing in the morning, so you have plenty of time to make the most of it.

When you purchase the pass, you can print it or display it on your phone. You don't need to pick up a physical card. However, the Museum Pass (4- and 6-day passes) must be collected once you are in Paris.
