I am taking a blogging break this week. I am posting some of mine and your favorite posts from last year. Enjoy them again or for the first time if you are a new reader.
One of the most frequently asked questions when a client books an Eye Prefer Paris Tour is whether they should buy a museum pass or not. I say yes and no.
If you are visiting more than one museum per day, yes, buy one.The best buy is the 4 day pass-48 euros, which averages 12 euros a day or the 6 day pass -64 euros, which averages 8 euros a day. If you are here 4 days or less and are going to only one museum a day, no, don't buy one. One of the advantages of the pass is that you bypass the long ticket buyers line at the big museums. However, you can now buy tickets online in advance for the Louvre, Orsay, Versailles, the Pompidou, and the Eiffel tower (not part of the museum pass) at their websites and still bypass the ticket buyers line. Children under 18 are admitted free in most museums, so no need to buy one for children.
The other disadvantage of the Paris Museum Pass is that if you want it in advance, it has to be ordered at least 10 days before and it costs 13.50 euros ($17.50) for delivery. The museum pass can also be bought in many museums and at the airports.
