There is important news for those planning a trip to Paris: starting from January 14, 2024, the price of entrance tickets to the Louvre Museum will increase. In particular, tourists from non-EU countries, including Azerbaijan, will pay 32 euros instead of the previous 22 euros. This means an average additional cost of 10 euros for tickets, and it is recommended that you reconsider your budget when preparing your Paris travel plans.
The Louvre Museum, one of the most famous cultural centers in the world, receives millions of tourists every year. The museum management attributes the price increase to various factors. First of all, due to increased security requirements in recent years, the museum's security system is being strengthened. Protecting museums with large, historical and valuable works such as the Louvre requires special technologies, modern equipment and experienced staff. This leads to increased costs.
Another important factor is the renovation of the infrastructure. The Louvre Museum has one of the largest and richest art collections in the world. Significant funds are being allocated for the preservation of the historic building, the renovation of the expositions, the improvement of conditions for visitors, the modernization of ticket systems and the repair of exhibition halls. According to museum representatives, an increase in prices is inevitable in order to implement future projects and maintain high-quality service.
The new rates will apply to tickets purchased both online and on-site. For this reason, travelers to Paris are advised to book their tickets online in advance. This is because it is possible to avoid both long queues and additional time spent purchasing tickets.
If you are planning a trip to Paris in the coming months, do not forget to add entry to the Louvre Museum to your budget. An additional 10 euros may seem like a small amount, but when traveling with a family, this amount increases significantly. However, the Louvre Museum remains a unique and worthwhile experience to see the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, the Goddess of Victory Nike and hundreds of other masterpieces with your own eyes. This magnificent museum will be one of the most memorable parts of your trip to Paris.
