The Louvre Museum, the Pompidou Centre, the Musée d'Orsay, the Rodin Museum, the Eiffel Tower, the Opéra Garnier, Versailles, Notre Dame, the Sacré-Cœur, the Arc de Triomphe... there is so much to see in Paris!

To help you plan your itinerary and make the most of your trip, here is all the information you need about Go City tourist cards, a practical and flexible way to discover the main monuments and activities in the French capital while saving time and money.

This pass works by duration, so you can choose between 2, 3, 4 or 6 consecutive days and enjoy an "all-you-can-see" experience in the City of Light. Perfect for those who want to make the most of every minute and not leave anything unvisited.

Plus

Choosing between the three Go City passes may seem complicated, but it really depends on your travel style, how long you're staying in Paris, and how you like to explore a city. All three save you money and time, but each one is best suited to a different type of traveller.

When is the Paris Pass the best choice?

• Ideal if you want to see everything in a few days.
• 2- to 6-day passes with access to over 40 attractions, including the Paris Museum Pass.
• Perfect for making the most of a short break.

When is the Paris Explorer Pass best?

• Designed for those who prefer to travel at a leisurely pace.
• Choose 3 to 7 attractions from over 50 and enjoy them for 30 days.
• Total flexibility to move at your own pace.

When is the Paris Pass Plus a good option?

• The most comprehensive and premium option.
• More than 90 attractions and experiences, valid for 2 to 6 consecutive days.
• Ideal for long stays or travellers who want to experience Paris to the fullest.

Things to consider before deciding

• Length of trip: if it's short, a day pass (Paris Pass or Plus) is best; if it's long or flexible, the Explorer Pass will be your best ally.
• Type of traveller: active travellers get more out of day passes; those who prefer to take their time enjoy the Explorer Pass more.
• Attractions on your list: check what each pass includes and whether it covers what you want to visit.
• Pace of visit: remember that day passes count consecutive days, so it's best to start early to make the most of them.

💡 Traveller tip

Make a list of the attractions you would like to visit and compare their individual prices with those of each pass. This will give you a clear idea of how much you can save based on your plans and the type of experience you are looking for.

The Paris Museum Pass is the ideal pass if your priority is the museums and historical monuments of the French capital. With access to more than 50 iconic sites and preferential entry without queues, it is perfect for exploring Paris at your own pace, enjoying its art and heritage without worrying about buying tickets one by one.

Unlike Go City passes, which focus on combining museums, tours and experiences, the Museum Pass focuses exclusively on culture, making it the perfect complement if your trip is designed to explore the city's history and artistic treasures.

What's included

Practical information

• Recommended if: you are passionate about art, history and museums
• Duration: 2, 4 or 6 consecutive days
• Activation: upon first use in a museum
• Price: from S$150
• Where to pick it up: at the Paris City Vision agency (detailed address in your confirmation email)
• Additional benefit: children under 18 and EU citizens under 26 get free admission to most museums

Plan

It's clear that any card is worth it if you're going to see as many things as possible in a short period of time, but that doesn't mean rushing from one place to another. With good planning, you can visit more tourist attractions (and therefore save money) without sacrificing peace and quiet.

Before you start your trip, make a list of the things you want to see and organise yourself according to the areas where they are located; in many of these areas you will also have the opportunity to take a free walking tour, so don't think that buying the Paris Pass means spending all day visiting enclosed sites.

Keep opening hours in mind

Before activating your card, check the opening days and times of museums and tourist attractions. Some are usually closed on public holidays or special days. If your trip coincides with one of these days, do not activate the card for that day or take the opportunity to take a cruise on the Seine, enjoy a wine tasting or visit Versailles.

Find out about discounts and guided tours

You may be walking around the Notre Dame neighbourhood and not know that your Paris Pass includes a guided tour of the archaeological crypts located just opposite the cathedral. Before planning a visit to an attraction, check that the Paris Pass does not include any guided tours of the area.

Also ask in the shops or restaurants you visit if you can get discounts with this card, as you can save a considerable amount not only on visits, but also in local restaurants and souvenir shops.

Please also note that the time on this card is calculated in calendar days of use and not in hours; if you arrive in Paris in the afternoon, spend that day exploring the city and activate your Paris Pass the next morning so as not to waste any time.

With the Paris Pass, you'll still have some important things to see in Paris. To make the most of the rest of your trip to the City of Light, I recommend you visit our post on What to see and do in Paris, where we select the essential visits, tours and monuments.
