The Louvre in Paris

Nestled in the heart of Paris, The Louvre has been the world’s most visited museum since it opened as a public institution in 1793. Its vast collection includes over 35,000 artworks, from the iconic Mona Lisa to ancient Egyptian artifacts. Spread across three wings, the museum encompasses 72,735 square meters of exhibition space, making it essential to plan for multiple visits. Expect crowds, especially near popular pieces, and anticipate long lines for ticket entry.
