The Louvre for free


You can literally lose yourself in the Louvre for a week, but if you don't have that sort of time, a full or half day will suffice (if you’re well planned)

The tickets range from 6-13 euros, but the first Sunday of every month is free to the public; however the lines are HUGE on these days and should be avoided. (The line has been known to wind around the exterior building)
Your best bet for quicker entry is to arrange to go at the start of the week (it is closed on Tuesdays) and arrive early (it opens at 9am) or if you want to save a bit of cash, go on Wednesday of Friday nights from 6pm - 9:45pm, it is cheaper than the daytime tickets.

But, if you’re under 26, you can enter the Louvre absolutely free, every Friday night between 6pm – 9:45pm. Just make sure you have a valid form of identification on you.

Tip:

You can enter via the glass pyramid like everyone else, or you can try entering through the Louvre Mall (access on rue de Rivoli) underneath the museum. This can save you from entering one of the two lines (but be warned, there can be a line here as well, although not as big as at the Pyramid)
