Paris City Pass
Full Day Paris City Pass: 50 Museums, Unlimited Hop-On/Off Seine Cruise
One pass. Fifty museums. Unlimited river cruising. Paris on your own terms.
The Paris City Pass is a single all-in-one ticket that unlocks access to 50 museums and monuments across the French capital, combined with an unlimited hop-on hop-off boat service along the Seine river for 24 or 48 hours. This package brings together the official Paris museums association pass and a dedicated river cruise ticket from a partner operator. Few arrangements offer this level of flexibility for a full day of independent sightseeing in Paris.
The hop-on hop-off boat service runs along the Seine and provides convenient access to the main riverside attractions, including views of Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Eiffel Tower. Passengers can board and disembark at multiple stops, re-joining the cruise whenever they choose. This river component adds a practical and scenic dimension to the day that complements museum visits naturally.
The experience suits independent travelers who prefer to explore without a fixed group schedule. With both the museum pass and the river cruise included, there is no need to purchase separate tickets or wait in line at attraction entrances. The combination represents one of the most comprehensive self-guided sightseeing arrangements available in Paris.
