Official price benchmark

How do official Louvre Museum prices compare with partner tours?

The Louvre publishes separate admission rates for visitors who are citizens or residents of the European Economic Area and for visitors who are not EEA citizens or residents. We compare those official rates with current partner ticket and tour prices.

Official adult ticket€32.00Non-EEA visitor admission
Published by Musée du Louvre
EEA visitor admission (conditions apply)€22.00
Non-EEA visitor admission€32.00

A lower rate of €22.00 (EEA visitor admission) applies only to some visitors or dates. Check whether it applies to you before you book.

Good for
Most independent visitors: €22 for EEA citizens and €32 for other adults, free for under-18s and many EEA visitors under 26, with the Delacroix museum included on the same or next open day.
Not ideal for
Visitors who want a guide or an audio guide, which are separate, and anyone who may change plans: tickets normally cannot be changed or refunded.

Official prices checked 15 October 2026. View the official Louvre Museum price source

Partner tickets and tours from€52.00per adult

Partner products can combine Louvre Museum admission with timed entry, live guides, small-group or private tours, language options and additional attractions such as the Musée d'Orsay. Partner prices therefore do not represent basic Louvre Museum admission alone.

Before you book

Louvre Museum ticket questions that affect what you should buy

Louvre Museum ticket choices affect your admission time, whether a guide is included and what services are bundled with entry. These answers use current guidance from the Musée du Louvre.

Official Louvre tickets sold out?

Busy dates can sell out online well in advance. A sold-out date online does not always mean you cannot visit.

  1. Buy on the day, subject to availability

    The ticket office sells individual tickets on site on the day of admission by card, cash or holiday voucher, when tickets remain.

    Louvre FAQ

  2. Compare partner tickets and tours

    Partner tours on this page may still have space on a sold-out date. They add a guide or other extras, so they cost more than official tickets.

    See the options below

Do you need a timed-entry reservation for the Louvre Museum?

The Louvre recommends booking a time slot, including for visitors who qualify for free admission. A timed reservation gives you a defined admission time rather than relying on same-day ticket availability.

If your Paris itinerary depends on visiting the Louvre at a specific time, choose an option with verified timed-entry access.

Official Louvre admission guidance

What does an official Louvre Museum admission ticket include?

A Louvre Museum admission ticket includes access to the permanent collections and temporary exhibitions. The ticket also includes admission to the Musée National Eugène-Delacroix on the same day or the following day that the Delacroix museum is open.

Official Louvre ticket inclusions

Can you leave the Louvre Museum and re-enter with the same ticket?

No. Louvre Museum admission is valid for the day of your visit, but once you leave the museum the exit is final and the same ticket cannot be used to re-enter.

Plan food breaks, collection priorities and any temporary exhibitions before leaving the museum.

Official Louvre re-entry guidance

Can you change or refund an official Louvre Museum ticket?

Official Louvre tickets are valid for the selected date and time. The Louvre states that booked tickets cannot normally be modified, exchanged or refunded after purchase.

Check the date and time carefully before completing an official Louvre Museum booking.

Official Louvre ticket conditions

Is the Louvre Museum audio guide included with admission?

No. The Louvre Museum audio guide is a separate service from general admission. The Louvre currently charges €6 for an audio guide and allows visitors to reserve one in advance.

A partner ticket that explicitly includes an audio guide should be compared with the combined cost of official admission and the separate official audio-guide rental.
