I've always loved art, even as a child, and the Louvre has been the #1 museum on my list to visit for so many years. Now, I can remove it from my bucket list because I made it to the Louvre and it was everything I imagined! It's large, crowded, filled with incredible art, you'll need months just to go through each gallery to fully appreciate the amazing works of art and objects here. I spent four hours here and I barely scraped the surface of what the Louvre has on offer. The audio guide is worth the 5 Euros and essential in providing context to the most famous works of art you'll see. Naturally, the showstopper is the Mona Lisa, which I made a beeline for the moment I entered the museum. I've read about the Mona Lisa since I was a kid and I wanted to see what the hype was all about. It's smaller than you think, demure and humble, just ignore the hundreds of gawkers (me included) gawping at it behind the barrier. Even if you're not an art lover, I think most people would enjoy spending a few hours at the Louvre, soaking up art, beauty and culture. You won't regret it.

This is an amazing museum. There is so much to see. The ancient art and carvings, the paintings and sculptures, and of course, the Mona Lisa are fascinating.

What first trip to Paris would be complete without a visit to the Louvre? Certainly not ours. First off – this museum is huge! If you are coming here, then plan what you want to see. Unless you plan to spend more than a day here, you are not going to see it all and properly appreciate it as well. Everyone has a different appreciation of course so choose what you would like and also check their website in advance to see which areas are open or closed. With a museum of this size, there is likely always some areas under some level of renovation or maintenance. Of course, the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo are highlights on most everyone’s list but there is a lot to choose from. After about 4 hours for me though – total visual overload. Fortunately, we had seen most of what we came to see and were able to head out.
