The Louvre is the world’s most visited museum and, at over 380,000 objects, impossible to see properly without a plan. A guided tour concentrates on the highlights — the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, the grand Denon wing — in two to three hours, with skip-the-line entry that avoids the security and ticket queues outside I.M. Pei’s glass pyramid.

Beyond the Louvre, Paris’s other major collections — the Musée d’Orsay’s Impressionists, the Musée de l’Orangerie’s Monet water lilies — are well suited to a shorter guided or self-guided visit, and several tours offer combined access to more than one museum in a day.
