Go City is one of the five Paris city-card operators that have been in the game for a long time. Their products signal a defined, established industry expertise rather than a one-off reseller marketing bundles with little value and low savings.
What is the Go City Paris Pass?
Go City Paris Pass is a sightseeing pass for travelers who want only one booking to access Paris’s top paid experiences. Go City's advantage is flexibility: instead of a museum-only product, you can combine landmarks, cruises, tours, and many offbeat activities. Included highlights of the passes range from the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame to the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Arc de Triomphe, and Palace of Versailles. Choose the Paris Pass for 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 days, or the Explorer Pass for visiting 3–5 attractions over 30 days, and begin your adventure!

Frequently asked questions about the Go City Paris Pass

This usually means the pass has not synced correctly, or you are looking for the museum add-on in the main app. Sync early from your confirmation email, then confirm every pass component before your first visit. You could also be experiencing another technical glitch. In such cases, wait a while to see if your pass reloads. If not, contact the operator for further support.
Explorer Passes let you pick 3, 4, or 5 attractions and visit them over 30 days. Paris Pass is a day-based consecutive sightseeing pass, valid only for the selected number of days.
