Where should I buy The Paris Museum Pass?

Question

Is it cheaper/easier to order the Museum Pass (Carte Musees) from the states, of just buy it at one of the metro stations once we hit Paris? I bought one in the Metro last time I was there, but that was almost ten years ago and it was MUCH cheaper.

I see that you can order it online, but different sites have different prices. Is it cheaper just to buy it when I get there?

Answer 1

Its cheaper to pay at each museum seperately as you will never manage to visit all the museums you are paying for with the museum pass.

Tip: the Louvre is free for all people under 25 years every friday from 6-10pm. Every first Sunday of the month most museums in Paris are free.

Answer 2

Just wait until you actually get there and are ready to use it.

Answer 3

You can buy it online, I bought it online through expedia which was cheaper bc it include by hotel and plane.

Answer 4

I think it is best to buy it in Paris, in the locations listed on the Pass' Website:

Online would be more expensive since you have to pay for shipping and etc.

Answer 5

Wait until you get there.  Way easier, and you don't get stuck with any 'surcharges' or anything.  You can buy one at just about any museum that accepts them.
