This is more than just a museum. It is like a city in itself. There is so much to experience and see. Even if you are not a museum buff, you will be in awe of what you see here. No matter how much time you have, make sure you take at least a few hours to visit. Buy your... More

It took about 20 minutes in the line up to get in but it moved steadily. Worth the time. A lot of walking and cannot do it in one visit. Beautiful and worth the time to see. It was very crowded.

The Louvre is so large and so big and so popular that it is important to plan your visit. Know what you want to see and where it is in the museum. OR at least stop at the information desk to see which way to go because it is such a large place and it is almost always crowded. I've... More

I visited the museum in March,2013.Did not seem as crowded as the other reviewers are stating. The staff was great! I easily saw the Mona Lisa up close, walked through Napoleons apartment, which was amazing, and enjoyed the vibrant plain colors of the Arabic art. Had a wonderful time. Can't wait to go back again.

Besides the wonderful Mona Lisa, there is so much to do at the Louvre that it took me 2 days to complete the whole museum. My guide to fully enjoy the Louvre: *Definitely bring a camera with a new memory card because you will use it up. *Be prepared if you don't get too good of a look at Mona... More

We loved the new wing for Islamic Art. The high and undulating glass-steel ceiling of the upper floor and the expansive displays in the basement were both breath-taking in the expanse of the collection on display and mesmerizing with the intimate proximity that one is allowed to view these precious works of art. Having visited the Louvre many times before,... More

We went to see the Mona Lisa. The line to enter the Louvre was long and the line to see the Mona Lisa was also long, but I managed to work my way to the front of the line to great a few pictures.

The Louvre is lovely and historic, and I was SO excited to go, but it was so crowded, hot, and not really well set up, also the bathrooms were disgusting. Don't miss it, go once, and if you don't love it, it's okay.

My husband and I spent 10.5 hours in Louvre and still didn't get to see everything. At the end of the day we were exhausted, but we'd do it again - the memories are fenomenal!
