Tourist by the Eiffel Tower

Planning a trip to Paris? Well ooh-la-la! Expect café-hopping mornings, museum-filled afternoons and golden-hour river views. It’s a city that rewards curiosity, whether you love grand boulevards, labyrinthine backstreets or long, lazy lunches. To make it easy (and budget-friendly), Go City Paris offers flexible ways to bundle entry to 100+ top attractions, tours and experiences. All-Inclusive, All-Inclusive Plus and Explorer passes mean you can tailor your sightseeing to match your travel style; great for first-timers, returning Paris superfans, couples on a quick getaway, families with kids, or just anyone who wants to see more without overthinking. Here’s how the different pass types work, what’s included and how Go City can help you ace your Paris experience…

The basics: what is the Go City Paris pass?

In brief, it’s a sightseeing pass that unlocks entry to a curated lineup of Paris attractions and experiences for one upfront price, with three pass options to suit different styles. Just pick the one that’s right for you, then scan and go at your choice of 100+ top Paris attractions. 

All-Inclusive Pass

  • Choose a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 6-day pass.
  • Tick off as many included attractions as you like on consecutive days.
  • Best if you plan to do a lot: stack a hop-on hop-off tour with a river cruise, guided walks, tastings and more.
  • Great for first-time visitors and energetic itineraries; visit as many included attractions as you can each day.
  • Savings stack quickly versus buying individual tickets, especially when you plan three or more attraction visits per day.

All-Inclusive Pass Plus

  • Choose a 2, 3, 4 or 6-day pass.
  • Works just like the All-Inclusive Pass but adds access to some premium attractions (like the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe and the Palace of Versailles) that aren’t included with any other pass type. 

Explorer Pass

  • Choose a pass loaded with anything from three to seven Paris attractions.
  • Once your pass activates, you’ve got 30 days to visit your chosen attractions, so the pace stays relaxed.
  • Best for repeat visitors, and anyone who wants to blend a few big hitters with some under-the-radar discoveries.

Buying and activating your pass

  1. Buy online: Purchase on the official Go City site or app for the best prices and live support.
  2. Download the Go City app: Passes are 100% digital and work straight from the Go City app; you’ll also find info like attraction hours, maps, booking links and more in here.
  3. Activate in your own time: Your pass activates at the first scan. All-Inclusive runs for consecutive calendar days; Explorer gives you 30 days to use up your chosen number of visits.

Using your pass

What’s included?

Montmartre

With dozens of attractions, tours and experiences, you can match Paris days to your mood. We’ve picked out a few favorites to get you inspired…

Views and cruises

Glide past Notre-Dame, the Louvre and glittering bridges on a classic Seine River cruise, with postcard views guaranteed from just about every angle. Steel your glutes for the Eiffel Tower guided climb and conquer the stairs up to the second floor with a guide sharing stories as the city unfolds beneath you. Pair it with a one-day Big Bus hop-on hop-off tour for easy sightseeing between landmarks and lively onboard commentary.

History and architecture

Step inside the lavish Palais Garnier (the Paris Opera House) on a self-guided visit to admire chandeliers, grand staircases and all the Belle Époque drama. Explore Montmartre on a guided walking tour – wind through cobbled lanes, spot artists at Place du Tertre and cap it off at Sacré-Cœur for sweeping views. Prefer cool passages and hidden corners? Choose a guided stroll through the covered arcades or the atmospheric streets of Le Marais to learn more about the city’s layers.

Food and flavor

Sip and swirl at a French wine-tasting as an expert breaks down regions, grapes and tasting tips, so your next wine list feels less intimidating. Or keep it sweet with those most delicate of Parisian specialities: macarons. Cheese more your bag? Join a guided fromage-tasting and discover why texture, age and terroir matter as much as the deliciousness.

Family fun

Meet superstar lookalikes at the Grévin Wax Museum – kids love posing with celebs, athletes and historic characters in the gilded galleries. Dive under the waves at Aquarium de Paris to see sharks, rays and tropical fish right by the Trocadéro, and enter the topsy-turvy illusory world of the Paradox Museum for some of the most eye-popping selfies in town.

Plan ahead

  • Group by neighborhood. A smart sightseeing plan turns a great trip into an unforgettable one. Pair Montmartre with a nearby walking tour, then hop the metro for a Seine cruise as the sun sets.
  • Sightsee smarts. If you’re using an All-Inclusive Pass, start early and line up a morning anchor (a walking tour or hop-on hop-off loop), then mix in a midday museum visit and a late-afternoon cruise. That rhythm cuts backtracking and keeps energy levels steady. With the Explorer, slow it down: spread your picks across your stay, and weave in free pleasures: sunset along the river, window-shopping in Saint-Germain, or a picnic under the plane trees.
  • Book big hitters in advance. Use the app to pre-book anything with limited capacity (Eiffel Tower climb, classes, guided tours) as early as you can; those time slots can go fast in peak months.
  • Stay on top of opening hours. Use the Go City app to check opening hours and last entry times. Some spots close earlier on weekdays, and a few museums and monuments shut on Monday or Tuesday. 
  • Travel right. Learn the basics of the metro and RER. They’re quick, reliable and the fastest way to cover ground. Check live updates in your maps app and allow buffer time between reservations. Dress for cobbles and stairs: comfortable shoes beat fashion regrets when you’re clocking up 15,000 steps before lunch.

Reservations

Paris app

Some experiences require reservations, especially guided tours, tastings and classes. The Eiffel Tower guided climb also books up quickly. You’ll find clear booking instructions, links and cut-off times for each activity in the Go City app. For hop-on hop-off and the Seine cruise, you typically just turn up and scan, but always double-check the app for any seasonal changes. If your travel plans shift, cancel or amend bookings as soon as possible – partners often have 24-48 hour policies.

What are the main advantages of Go City Paris passes?

  • Flexibility to travel your way: go big with All-Inclusive or keep it chill with Explorer.
  • Real savings compared to buying separate tickets.
  • One app, one payment, instant mobile entry at the gate.
  • Freedom to mix classics with quirky picks you might not otherwise consider.
  • Huge lineup: monuments, cruises, museums, tours, bike rentals and more.

Is buying a pass worth it?

Sunset cruise on the Seine

If Paris is on your list and you plan to do more than a couple of paid attractions, then yes, a Go City Paris pass is a no-brainer. Whichever pass type you choose, you get flexibility, simplicity and genuine value, with the added bonus of discovering new experiences you might not have thought to try. That’s a recipe for a stress-free Paris trip you’ll talk about for years.
