Paris Pass vs. Museum & Metro Passes
Sounds the same, but they are not! The Paris Pass is a relatively new pass to cover sites and activities for Paris travelers, but it is much more expensive than the other traditional passes combined. It does include more, but really, will you use it? Here is a comparison, which we have also set out on our website at this link: http://www.gotoparis.net/paris_pass_comparison.php
Paris Metro + Paris Museum passes vs. Paris Pass
-purchased 'a la carte':
- Museum Pass allows you to visit 60+ monuments as many times as you like, without waiting in line
- Paris Pass also allows you to skip the line, but you can visit each attraction only once.
- Paris Visite Pass, you can choose which zones you want to include: central Paris (1-3), or Paris + suburbs (1-6).
- Paris Pass only includes central Paris (1-3), no option to extend to suburbs (1-6)
- By purchasing the Museum Pass and the Visite Pass separately, you can make different combinations: 2 days for Museums + 5 days for metro
- Only option is 2, 4 or 6 days for everything. Even if you only visit Museums for 2 days, but need 5 days of transportation, you pay for 6 days of everything.
- Does not include all the “extras” on the Paris Pass. Did you plan on renting a bike for the day? Or visiting the museum at Roland Garros?
- Includes lots of extras: Batobus, renting a bike for a day, visiting Opera, free sundae at Hard Rock Café, Roland Garros museum, 1-hour cruise on Seine River.
- Museum Pass 4 days + Visit Pass 5 days for central Paris = about $118. You can add a Seine River cruise + visit of the Opera and still be less expensive, with 1 extra day of metro pass.
- Paris Pass for 4 days is being sold for about $182
- No expiration date
- Valid 12 months from date of issue
