Good to Know: Getting There, Entrances, and Hours

The Louvre sits in central Paris on the Right Bank of the Seine, and the easiest way to arrive is the metro to Palais-Royal – Musée du Louvre on lines 1 and 7. Several bus routes stop nearby too, and the museum is an easy walk from the Tuileries Garden and other central sights. Your guide meets the group at the Arc du Carrousel.

The Louvre has more than one entrance, and the one you use makes a real difference to how long you wait. The glass Pyramid in the main courtyard is the best-known entrance but also the busiest, with separate lines for ticket holders, visitors without tickets, and priority access. The Carrousel du Louvre entrance, reached through the underground shopping mall by the metro station, is open to ticket and pass holders and tends to be quieter. The Richelieu Passage is reserved for groups and members, and the Porte des Lions, for online ticket holders, is currently closed.

The museum is open every day except Tuesday. Hours run 09:00 to 18:00 on Monday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, and extend to 09:00 to 21:00 on Wednesday and Friday. Last entry is one hour before closing, and the galleries begin clearing 30 minutes before. The Louvre also closes on January 1, May 1, and December 25; on any other public holiday it stays open unless that day falls on a Tuesday. The outdoor courtyards keep their own schedule, with the Cour Napoléon open daily 07:30 to 21:00 and the Cour Carrée 07:30 to 19:45. It's worth confirming hours ahead of time if you're planning an evening or holiday visit.

How long should I plan for a Louvre visit?
Most people spend at least three hours here. Seeing the full collection can take the better part of a day.
Is this tour guided in Spanish?
Yes. A licensed live guide leads the tour in Spanish, walking you through the museum's key rooms and the stories behind the works.
What was stolen from the Louvre?
On October 19, 2025, thieves broke into the Galerie d'Apollon in a daylight heist lasting only minutes and took eight pieces of 19th-century French Crown Jewels, including tiaras, necklaces, and earrings once owned by the imperial and royal families. A crown belonging to Empress Eugénie was dropped and recovered nearby, but the rest remain missing and the case is still under investigation.
What was the Louvre before it was a museum?
It started as a medieval fortress in the late 12th century and later became a royal palace for France's kings. It opened as a public museum after the French Revolution.
When was the Louvre built?
The original fortress went up in 1190 under King Philip II. It opened as a museum in 1793.
How do you pronounce "Louvre"?
"Louvre" sounds like "LOOV-ruh," and in English you'll hear "Louvre Museum" said as "LOOV-ruh myoo-ZEE-um."
Why is the Louvre's glass pyramid so famous?
Added to the central courtyard in 1989, the glass pyramid marks the museum's main entrance and has become almost as recognizable as the art inside, a modern counterpoint to the former royal palace around it.
Can you see the whole Louvre in one visit?
Not realistically. It's one of the largest art museums in the world, so most visitors pick a few wings, such as the paintings or the antiquities, and accept they'll miss the rest.
What is the Galerie d'Apollon?
It's a gilded gallery restored to display the French crown jewels beneath its ceiling paintings, one of the most ornate rooms in the museum.
