It was a weekday in late November, but the Louvre was crowded. I'm glad I bought tickets in advance. I bought tickets for 10:30, but I started lining up around 10:10 and was able to enter around 10:40. It was crowded in front of the Mona Lisa at that time, but I was still able to get to the front row and take photos after a short wait.
I was able to see famous paintings that look like they belong in textbooks up close. I'm grateful for the valuable experience. It was my first time booking tickets overseas, but I was grateful for the detailed confirmation phone call and email that made it go smoothly.
Bought the global pass, value for money and easy to use esp with the promotional price :)
