A Louvre ticket costs €32, or €22 for residents and citizens of the European Economic Area. Under 18s enter free. Every ticket is for one date and one hour, and it cannot be changed or refunded.
Prices read from the official Louvre site on 14 November 2026.
The same price at the museum and online. The Louvre has no reduced rate: a visitor pays the full ticket or enters free.
The ticket covers the permanent collections and the temporary exhibitions, plus the Musée National Eugène-Delacroix on the same day or the next day it is open. Exhibitions in the Hall Napoléon need their own time slot.
The museum recommends booking a time slot for a free visit too.
Also free: disabled visitors with one companion, art and art history teachers from the European Economic Area, ICOM members, journalists with a press card, and job seekers who live in the European Economic Area.
The museum sells tickets at the door only when attendance is low, so the slot you book online is the one you can count on.
The online ticket office sells entry for one date and one time slot.
One person can buy up to 6 tickets. The online office takes bank cards and prices are in euros.
Use the Pyramid, the Carrousel or the Porte des Lions. Everyone passes a security check, and bags larger than 55 × 35 × 20 cm stay outside.
The ticket cannot be changed, exchanged or refunded, and once you leave the museum you cannot come back in.
The Louvre warns about sites that copy its own and tells visitors not to buy tickets that claim to let them jump the queue, or tickets from street sellers: entry may be refused. A guided tour is a different purchase. Its price includes the entry ticket for a set hour, and everyone passes the same security check.
With a booked ticket, use the Pyramid, the Carrousel or the Porte des Lions. Without a ticket, only the Pyramid.
