It remains one of Paris's top tourists attractions and the place to see some of the finest art that man has ever been inspired to create. That said, The Louvre can be at times a minor ordeal with the crowds, the heat and the sheer scale of the vast collections that are on view.
Aside from that, it really is worth it as these treasures are world renowned and represent the antiquities of diverse civilisations including Greek, Egyptian, Oriental, Etruscan and Roman. As you can appreciate you really do need to leave a reasonable time allowance to visit the museum - three hours might just get you by at a minimum. If you are trying to cut costs, keep in mind that you can visit for free on the fist Sunday of the month. Naturally, the convenience of this may not always fall your way, but it is good to be aware of savings if you have the chance to avail of it. Also if you are intending to visit a number of museums, you might consider buying a Paris Museum Pass. Not only will it save you money, it will also get you past the long lines waiting to gain entrance to the most popular sights and museums.
