Tips & Advice

Enter through Porte des Lions

Getting There

Most visitors enter through the Pyramid. The Porte des Lions entrance on the south side has almost no queue.

Go on Wednesday or Friday evening

Timing

The museum stays open until 9:45pm on Wednesdays and Fridays. Evening visits have a fraction of the daytime crowds.

Skip the Mona Lisa first

Experience

Start with other wings while everyone rushes to the Mona Lisa. Visit it later in your tour when the crowd has cycled through.
