Must Book Before Arrival 🔥
Lines can reach 2+ hours during peak season

- Timed-entry tickets required
- Very long queues without reservation
- Peak hours are extremely crowded
Why book early: Pre-booking allows you to enter at your chosen time and avoid waiting outside.

My recommendations:
Book this Private Tour of the Louvre
Eiffel Tower
- Tickets often sell out 7–14 days in advance
