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.

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)

Things to do in Paris For Couples

Paris is a playground for couples, a veritable feast of top-rated restaurants, world-beating museums and galleries, and some of the best night-time entertainment you’ll find anywhere on the planet. Dive in to discover our pick of the 10 best things to do in Paris for couples. Get High on Champagne There are a few different ways to reach the top of the Eiffel Tower. The smart money is on taking the glass elevator aaaall the way up, but those with a sense of adventure (and buns of steel) can also climb the 674 steps to the second level and then catch the lift. There’s even a see-through floor at level one, from where the boldest visitors peer right down between their legs to the forecourt far below. However you do it, you’ll want a selfie with your significant other, glass of Champagne in hand, when you reach the top. Conveniently, a sky-high bar awaits you. But, at 276 meters above terra firma, best not let the bubbles go to your head. Take a Cruise on the Seine A Seine cruise is a fine way to see some of the city’s most iconic museums and monuments. Board at the Eiffel Tower and meander downriver past sights including the grand gothic melodrama that is the Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the Louvre Museum’s instantly recognisable glass pyramid. Sunset is a particularly atmospheric time of day to take the cruise, as dusk falls and the Seine’s grand bridges and riverside gardens and museums turn their lights on. Visit a Museum Whether you share a passion for the arts or not, you’re sure to find something of interest in Paris’s galleries – there are over 1,000 to choose from, after all. Couples who wish to avoid the crowds should opt for small but perfectly formed collections such as those found in the Rodin Museum or Gustave Moreau Museum. Choose Rodin for the splendid formal gardens, where sculptures including The Thinker and The Gates of Hell lurk among box hedges, rose gardens and ornamental fountains. Or pick Moreau for a fascinating glimpse into the artist’s mind: printed guides to the trippy and fantastical paintings inside his former home were written by his own fair hand. Go for a Wander Paris’s relatively compact center is best experienced on foot, and nowhere more so than on a romantic stroll along the Canal Saint-Martin. Starting where the Rue de Marseille joins the Quai de Valmy, meander past colorful waterside boutiques, and soak up the atmosphere from boho bars and bistros. Take a detour onto Rues de l’Ourcq and Rue Germaine Tailleferre for the wonderful street art, then cross the bridge to enter Parc de la Villette, a vast and verdant Paris playground that’s packed with sculptures, museums and music venues, where you could quite easily while away the rest of your day. Make Macarons Ever tried a macaron? These deliciously sweet little pastries are ubiquitous in Paris and come in any number of different colors and flavors. One taste and you’ll be hooked – find them brightening up the window display of every self-respecting pâtisserie in town. Now just imagine you could continue to eat these decadent French treats after you return home. Step forward the popular macaron-making class at the Galeries Lafayette Haussman department store where, in just 90 minutes, you and your partner will learn to mix, bake, assemble (and of course eat) macarons like pros. With your newly acquired skills, we guarantee your friends will love you forever, even if your weighing scales do not. Browse the Markets Paris has around 100 different markets, with something to satisfy every appetite, from farm-fresh produce to flea market knick-knacks, flowers and, yep, even animals. Pick up a selection of fabulous fromages, an oven-fresh baguette, a punnet of ripe strawberries and a bottle of organic wine at Marché Bastille, then head to nearby Place des Vosges for an impromptu picnic. Or satisfy your urge to bag a bargain at the vast Saint-Ouen flea market where the seemingly endless labyrinth of alleyways contains every treasure under the sun, from vintage vinyl to retro fashion, period antiques to old-fashioned toys and games. Take a Day Trip to a Château There are dozens of grand palaces and châteaux within easy reach of Paris, perfect for a romantic day trip out of town. A direct train gets you to the ridiculously opulent Palace of Versailles in under an hour. You could easily lose a whole day at this former royal residence, wandering among the countless paths, ponds, fountains and sculptures with your own king or queen, and exploring the almost comically extravagant interiors of the Hall of Mirrors and the King’s private apartments. More tastefully restrained chateaux including fairytale Fontainebleau and Renaissance-style Rambouillet are equally accessible by train from the center of Paris. Go Wine-Tasting Established in the 18th Century by King Louis XV’s personal sommelier (how the other half live, eh?), Les Caves du Louvre offers a different kind of wine-tasting experience. Descend into a network of tunnels beneath the streets of the 1st arrondissement, where your guided tour of the royal cellars culminates in a tasting experience with three different French wines. If you fancy viewing some fine art with your newly acquired double vision afterwards, it’s just a short stagger to the Louvre Museum. Take in a Show Get your glad rags on and hit the cabaret clubs. No self-respecting visitor should leave Paris without experiencing at least one of the myriad burlesque shows on offer at the likes of the Moulin Rouge, with its famous neon-red windmill. Or, if you prefer your entertainment a little less... risqué, you can take your date to see a classic opera or ballet at the refined Palais Garnier or Opéra Bastille. Or enjoy an old-fashioned movie night at one of the city’s historic picture houses, such as The Louxor, a sumptuous century-old mash-up of Egyptian and Art Deco design. Don’t forget the popcorn! Watch the sunset from Montmartre Hopeless romantics will be unable to resist Montmartre, with its atmospheric cobbled lanes, sultry bars and ultra-Parisian café culture. Take the funicular up to the top of the hill and stroll round the Sacré-Cœur to grab a selfie at Le mur des je t'aime (the Wall of Love). Ask one of the resident artists in the Place du Tertre to sketch a cutesy caricature of you and your beau, before heading back to the steps in front of the basilica and sharing a chocolate crêpe as the sun sets over the city.
