8 Mistakes Tourists Make in Paris (and How to Avoid Them)
3. Not pre-booking museum tickets
One of the easiest ways to waste time in Paris is standing in long lines at popular museums like the Louvre or Musée d’Orsay. While pre-booking tickets online can save you some time, it won't necessarily let you avoid the lines altogether. To truly bypass the crowds, consider buying "skip-the-line" tickets or booking a guided tour with priority access. These can be pricier but spending a little extra means more time enjoying the art and less time standing around.
