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 Opéra National de Paris 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.

Let’s say you get a 3-day All-Inclusive Pass and visit: 

Day 1

  • Big Bus one-day hop-on hop-off tour (€49)
  • Eiffel Tower guided climb (€39)
  • Wine-tasting at Les Caves du Louvre (€36)

Day 2 

  • Notre Dame crypt experience (€39)
  • Montmartre and Sacré Coeur walking tour (€36)
  • Champagne gourmand in Montmartre (€21)

Day 3:

  • Cheese tasting at Ô Chateau (€20)
  • Seine river cruise (€19)

That’s €304 worth of tickets on a €164 pass. That equals serious savings of €140 or around 46%!*

Things to do in Paris During The Day

With over 1,000 museums, around 400 parks and more boutique shops and cute pavement cafés than you can shake a very large stick at, there are dozens of things to do in Paris during the day. Here’s our pick of the crop. See the Sights Paris’s relatively compact center is easy to explore on foot but if you really want to max out your daytime sightseeing, there’s an abundance of other great ways to see the city. For sheer convenience, you’ll find Paris’s near-ubiquitous electric scooters tough to beat. Known as trottinettes to locals, these zippy little machines can be picked up and dropped off at hundreds of locations around the city, making them a super-easy way to get from A to B with minimal effort. Note that for safety reasons the speed limit for trottinettes is restricted to 10km/h in most parts of Paris. Join a guided Segway tour to tick off some of the city’s big attractions in, um, style. A self-deprecating sense of humor and a decent ability to stay upright are all you need to participate. Pass the mandatory training session and in no time you’ll be whizzing to big-hitting Paris landmarks including Les Invalides, the Arc de Triomphe and the soaring Pont Alexandre III with its photogenic Art Deco lanterns. Alternatively, plan your own tour itinerary and rent a Vélib bicycle – also available for pick-up and drop-off pretty much everywhere in central Paris. Meander riverside and through the city’s stunning parks, pausing to admire the fabulous architecture and smell the roses, and, of course, to pick up some still-warm pains au chocolat from a boulangerie along the way. Seine sightseeing cruises depart from the Eiffel Tower throughout the day and are particularly enchanting at sunset, while hop-on hop-off bus tours are another fine way to see the city, especially from the top deck on a sunny afternoon. Have a Picnic in the Park Picnicking in the park should be considered mandatory on any trip to Paris. Open-air markets and street food abound in the city, so putting a gut-busting lunch together is pas de probleme. Rue Montorgueil is brimming with fab boulangeries, fromageries and street stalls that runneth over with juicy, fresh fruits. Pick up some just-baked bread, aromatic cheeses, plump grapes and artisan wine then hit the oldest pâtisserie in town for a decadent dessert of creamy rum babas and éclairs. Or head to Marché des Enfants Rouges in the Marais for gut-busting fried sandwiches, galettes that fairly ooze cheese, and some of the best Moroccan street food this side of Marrakech at Le Traiteur Marocain. Now fully equipped for your al fresco feast, the question is which park? Decisions, decisions... In the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, the Champ de Mars is a picture-perfect location for whiling away a few hours. Its sprawling manicured lawns and ringside views of the tower makes it an inspired location for your picnic – and a dozen or so selfies. One of Paris’s biggest parks, Bois de Boulogne contains – among other attractions – a château, a botanical garden and several lakes. Hire a boat to row across the largest of these (you’ll work up an appetite for sure), then walk off your picnic with a wander to the beautiful Parc de Bagatelle botanical garden, with its bountiful rose gardens and heavenly scents. The exquisite Luxembourg Gardens promise some low-octane pursuits including giant chess and the ancient French sport of pétanque. Head to Parc de la Villette for its fascinating series of architectural follies – there are 26 to find across the 137 acres of this huge green space, plus open-air music and cinema in the warmer months. Also in summer, take your picnic down to the banks of the Seine for the annual Paris Plages, where golden sands, deckchairs and ice creams are the order of the day. See Some Great Art Paris is a paradise for art lovers – and artists. Matisse, Modigliani, Manet, Renoir and Toulouse-Lautrec are just some of the painters who went on to become household names after being inspired by this great city. No surprise, then, that you’re rarely more than a stone’s throw from an amazing museum or gallery. Of course, you can’t come to Paris and not visit the Louvre, home of the world’s most famous painting. Once you’ve ticked off the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo it’s time to experience what is hands-down the finest work of art in the museum. That would be the Mont Blanc, a decadent, gravity defying French fancy comprised of whipped Chantilly cream, meringue, chocolate shavings and chestnut vermicelli. You can view – and demolish – this bona fide masterpiece in Café Angelina on the first floor of the Richelieu wing. If you find the Louvre just a tad overcrowded for your liking, nearby Musée d’Orsay provides a less hectic alternative within the picturesque surroundings of the old Gare d’Orsay train station. The museum boasts one of the biggest collections of French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art on the planet, with many pieces from Toulouse-Lautrec’s Moulin Rouge series and a number of Monet masterpieces, including one from his Water Lilies series. Other smaller but equally unmissable galleries include Musée de l'Orangerie in the Jardin des Tuileries, the Rodin Museum with its extraordinary seven-acre sculpture garden, and Renoir’s pretty garden at the Musée de Montmartre. Spend a Day in the Marais Picking a favorite district in Paris is like being asked to choose a favorite French fromage. There are just so many good ones to choose from! Set on the Seine’s Right Bank in view of Notre-Dame, the Marais is an entrancing maze of narrow, winding streets and alleyways that are chock-full of tiny independent boutiques, tempting pâtisseries and adorable pavement cafés. Grab a spot beneath the linden trees and watch the world go by in the Place des Vosges. This formal garden sits in the oldest planned square in Paris, hemmed in by atmospheric arcades and immaculate 17th-century townhouses with steeply pitched slate roofs. One of these – the former home of Les Misérables author Victor Hugo – is now a museum exhibiting furniture and works of art that belonged to (or were created by) the man himself. Indeed, for such a diminutive district, the Marais packs in a fairly impressive number of museums and galleries. Make for the Maison Européene de la Photographie for the best in contemporary photographic art, and don’t miss the Musée National Picasso-Paris, a stellar collection of over 700 paintings and sculptures by the father of Cubism. The legacy of Paris’s former Jewish quarter lives on in the Marais, primarily via its selection of kosher restaurants and bakeries. Make sure to treat yourself to a falafel wrap or pastrami sandwich at one of the excellent takeaway joints on the Rue des Écouffes or Rue des Rosiers – just follow your nose to discover true manna from heaven.
