How to See Paris's Best Museums in One Day

The City of Lights as Paris is fondly referred to may have a plethora of attractions and sights to see, along with myriad Paris activities and things to do. However, the charm of this city drenched in history, art and culture is best rendezvoused at its museums. Museums in Paris are indeed some of the most rushed to attractions of the city, what with standing in ques for hours on end only to a gateway of the world of sensational art! If you are looking for Paris Museum Tours, check out this guide on how to see Paris’ best museums in one day.

Always Choose Skip the Line Pass for Museums

The Louvre
This is like a blessing in disguise if you are planning to get some Paris Museum & Architecture Tours. All you need to do is, look up online, most preferably their official website and attain this pass. The pass gives you the luxury to skip the queue that may require you to wait for as long as 3-4 hours before you actually get into the museum. The most important museums like the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay and the Musée de l'Orangerie among others, are heavily crowded. So, getting yourself a skip the line pass is the way to go.

Try to avoid the weekends

Weekends see a rush of not only the tourists but also the locals, that get out to visit the museums. So, if you are planning on a Paris Museum & Exhibitions Tours on a weekend, ditch the thought. It is almost impossible, to squeeze in more than one museum in your itinerary. The Louvre itself requires an entire day (almost) to be fully covered.

Pass the bigger ones to see the smaller ones

Musée Carnavalet

This is great idea, if you wish to see more attractions, museums, in this case in a short span of time. For example, while Louvre may take you about a day to see it fully; you can instead opt for the smaller ones that also lie in close proximity of each other.

Choose the timing wisely

Timing is the key to have a smooth day of sightseeing at the Paris museums. It is generally observed as a trend that museums are crowded during the midst of the day. Whereas, if you go early morning or just when it is about close, preferable late evenings, you are less likely to encounter any crowds at all.

Do a recce of “secret” entrances

Believe it or not, almost all the attractions in Paris have a secret entrance. Going a day before or with someone who knows of the secret entrance on the same day can save you oodles of time. Only the locals and tour guides know of these. That being said, beware of tourist traps, especially people how might lure you into a fast entry to the museums.

Grab hold of a museum map

The Louvre Access Map
This will save you a lot of time on getting around the museum. Also, with the help of a map you can also prioritize the focal points of the museums, instead of spending time on exhibitions that are not very important.
