Starting in 2026, the Louvre Museum will raise ticket prices for non-EU visitors. Here’s how the increase could affect Paris tourism and what travelers need to know.

Paris’ iconic Louvre Museum is set to raise ticket prices for non-EU visitors starting 14 January 2026. The museum, which draws millions of art lovers each year, will see a significant price hike from €22 to €32 for visitors outside the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA). This move is part of the museum’s ongoing¹ efforts to fund renovations, security upgrades, and the maintenance of its world-renowned collections.

For many visitors from outside Europe, this means the cost of experiencing the Louvre’s priceless art collections, including the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo, will rise substantially. While the price increase is expected to affect a large number of international tourists, it highlights the museum’s commitment to ensuring its long-term sustainability and improving the visitor experience.
