🖼️ The Louvre

Paris, France

Best time: November to March, the quieter low season

The world's most visited museum, a former royal palace. The Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and Winged Victory are all here, and the glass pyramid entrance is a landmark in itself.

Good to know

• Timed entry must be booked in advance; closed on Tuesdays.
• Friday late openings are much quieter than daytime.
