The Paris City Pass is valid for 2, 3*, 4*, 5*, or 6 consecutive days. One day = one calendar day starting at 5.30 am and ending at 5.30 am the following day. 

* Note for museum visits: The 3-day-pass includes the Paris Museum Pass for the free visit of over 50 museums for 48 hours; the 5-day-pass the free visit for 4 days. More attractions as well the tours and the public transport can be full used on all 3 and 5 days. Please plan your schedule of visits according.

The Paris City Pass is personalized and valid for 12 months, if not used. Please fill in your name and the start date for your pass (the first day you would like to use the Pass). Please provide a valid, official photo for identification (e.g. identity card, passport, driver's license). The Pass cannot be returned after a name (or other information) has been filled in.  

After filling in the start date, the Paris City Pass is usable for 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 consecutive days (depending on the Pass you bought). A wide range of museums and monuments included, such as Louvre or Notre Dame, can be visited as often as you like during the validity period of the pass. 

The Palace of Versailles, a few other sights and both major airports are located outside the city center of Paris. Hence you need an extra train, metro or bus ticket in order to reach those facilities. With your Paris City Pass you can use public transport within zone 1–3 (city center) for free. Always show your Paris City Pass at attractions, exhibitions or in the Metro to receive free entrance. Please double check opening hours or terms of use with the attractions and exhibitions of your choice. We recommend checking the website of the sight in advance so that there won’t be any surprises when you arrive.

The Paris City Pass allows you to avoid queues and to go directly to the entrance of museums such as the Louvre. However, there may be delays when passing security, for example going through security checks at Versailles or due to restrictions on visitor numbers.

Please note that safety precautions have been intensified in general and therefore there might be delays at the security checks. These security checks cannot be avoided with the City Pass, even if it includes “skip the line entry”. Bags, backpacks, coats and jackets may also be checked. Suitcases and bags over 16 liters cannot be brought into the attractions, neither can they be dropped at the cloakroom.

Please be aware that local prices can vary from the Paris City Pass prices since they include different benefits and taxes.
