Paris Passlib’
The Paris Passlib’ is a completely customisable tourist card. You get to choose which attractions and activities you want to include in your city pass.
The Paris Passlib’ is a customisable, year-long digital tourist card. There are four different kinds of Passlib’ passes. Depending on the one you choose, you are given a bigger or smaller selection of activities and attractions to pick from.
After deciding which pass best fits your needs, you can reserve entries for the monuments or activities you like for free. You’ll receive the tickets in your email, and with those, you can go directly to the venues, no need to stand in line.
All four kinds of Paris Passlib’ are valid for one year from the first time you use your pass to book any attraction or activity. The four options are Mini (3 activities), City (5 activities), Explore (6 activities), and Prestige (6 activities, including Disneyland Paris).
Our recommendations
The Mini option has a great price but it is missing some important attractions. The Explore and Prestige passes cover a lot of activities but you might find some of them a bit superfluous, especially if you’re not spending a lot of time in Paris.
In our opinion, the [Paris Passlib’ City]( https://www.getyourguide.com/paris-l16/paris-official-city-pass-museums-cruises-and-more-t408632/?partner_id=IG4VKS7&utm_medium=online_publisher&placement=content-top&cmp=Inline is perfect. It includes all the sights, museums, and activities you are most likely to be interested in.

You will receive all your reserved tickets in your email. You can go to your booked activities and attractions and skip all queues. Just show your ticket at the entrance and you’ll be good to go.
Things to keep in mind
- Unless specified, the Paris Passlib grants free access to the permanent collections in the museums of your choice. The temporary exhibitions are usually not included.
- If you are under 26 with EU residency, you automatically have free access to national museums and permanent collections in Paris, therefore you should make sure not to choose those in your Paris Passlib customisation. There are plenty of other activities that aren’t normally free for people under 26, just make sure you check before you book.
- If you are under 18 (of any nationality), you automatically have free access to national museums and permanent collections in Paris. When you choose your activities and attractions from the Paris Passlib list, make sure none of those is a national museum or monument.
