Pick 3/4/5 eligible experiences, and build your own mix of famous landmarks, sightseeing tours, museums, and activities instead of following a fixed itinerary.
What is the Go City Paris Explorer Pass?
The Go City Paris Explorer Pass is a digital sightseeing pass built around a choice of attractions; you buy access to a set number of attractions rather than a set number of sightseeing days. You have 3/4/5 attraction options, covering eligible landmarks, museums, cruises, tours, and activities. Your pass activates at your first attraction visit, giving you 30 days to visit your remaining choices. It’s a flexible way to combine a few Paris highlights with leisurely lunches, neighbourhood walks, and time to explore without a packed daily schedule.
Choose your attractions
Sightsee at your pace
Spread your chosen visits across 30 days after activation. You don’t need to sightsee on consecutive days, which gives you room for spontaneous stops and slower mornings.
Carry one digital pass
Sync your pass with the Go City app and keep your sightseeing plans together. Check attraction details and reservation instructions before heading out.
Plan for better value
Compare the pass price with individual tickets for your shortlist. The best fit depends on the experiences you choose, not simply how many you visit.

Who is the Go City Paris Explorer Pass best for?
First-time visitors with a shortlist
You want a few unmistakably Parisian experiences without spending every day moving between ticketed attractions. Pair Eiffel Tower second-floor access with a Big Bus tour and a Seine cruise, then leave space for your own exploring. The three-attraction structure suits a focused introduction, while the longer usage window gives you flexibility to decide when to visit.
Families balancing activities with downtime
You’re looking for engaging experiences that can sit comfortably around your children’s breaks and changing energy levels. Grévin Paris, Aquarium de Paris, and the Paradox Museum make for a family-oriented shortlist. Buying a fixed number of attraction visits helps define your sightseeing budget, while the 30-day usage window removes the need to fill consecutive days with attractions, giving you and the little ones plenty of time to rest.
City-break travellers who prefer a lighter schedule
You want several standout experiences, not an itinerary planned down to the minute. A Louvre afternoon visit, a Seine cruise, and wine tasting at Les Caves du Louvre create a varied shortlist. Choose an attraction-count pass when you’d rather visit, select highlights and build the rest of your break around meals, walks, and spontaneous exploration.
Repeat visitors seeking something different
You’ve already seen some of the headline sights and want a more interest-led return to Paris. Try Fragonard’s perfume mini workshop, a Montmartre walking tour, or the Louis Vuitton Foundation history-walk experience. The Explorer format lets you choose a smaller collection of activities instead of buying a day-based pass for a densely packed sightseeing schedule.
Which Go City Paris Explorer Pass should you choose?
- 3-Attraction Explorer Pass: Best for a focused short break. Consider the Eiffel Tower, Big Bus tour, and wine tasting; However, compare their individual ticket prices before deciding on a pass. | Price: €84–€94
- 4-Attraction Explorer Pass: This pass suits an unhurried stay with four firm plans in place. Combine the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, a bus tour, and then add an off-beat experience which matches your interests. | Price: €104–€119
- 5-Attraction Explorer Pass: Choose this for a longer, activity-led trip. Build your itinerary around Versailles, the Eiffel Tower, and a bike tour, leaving enough time for two further underrated gems. | Price: €124–€144
How does the Go City Paris Explorer Pass work?
- Buy the pass for the number of attractions you will realistically visit. You do not have to select every attraction you want to see when purchasing the pass, but experiences requiring reservations do need planning.
- Activate your pass within 12 months of purchase. This is the pre-activation validity period, not the amount of time available after your first visit.
- Your pass activates automatically when you visit your first included attraction. From that point, you have 30 consecutive calendar days to visit your remaining choices.
- Attraction visits do not need to take place on consecutive days; they simply need to fall within that 30-day validity window.
- Your pass expires when its usage period ends, even if you have not used up all the attraction slots you purchased.
- Follow your confirmation email to sync the pass with the Go City app. Check the final voucher for redemption instructions and any starting-point details.
- Look for the “Reservation Required” label before planning your visit. The app provides instructions for booking experiences that need a reservation.
- Reserve priority experiences early enough to build the rest of your itinerary around confirmed availability. Eiffel Tower access, Louvre afternoon entry, and a trip to Versailles are some top sights that require advance booking.
- Present the required mobile voucher or pass as instructed, and carry a valid photo ID with you when visiting attractions.
- Each pass belongs to one person, cannot be shared, and allows only one visit to each selected attraction.
- Understand the exact experience included with your pass. Confirm the admission type, meeting point, and access arrangements before booking the pass
- You get a full refund if you cancel your pass anytime before reserving your first attraction or before 12 months since the date of purchase has elapsed.
- Do not assume that an activated pass or unused attraction choices qualify for a refund. If you have not visited all the attractions selected within the validity window of an activated pass, you will not be eligible for a refund.
Frequently asked questions about the Go City Paris Explorer Pass
It can be, provided your chosen experiences cost more individually than the pass. Compare equivalent ticket types and current prices rather than relying on a headline savings percentage.
Yes, it does. The Paris Explorer Pass includes a Louvre Afternoon Entry Ticket and a Palace of Versailles: Full Day Entry & Audio Guide. Both experiences require reservations.
The listed experience is only for reserved access by stairs to the second floor. Do not assume it includes a lift journey or summit admission. Check the exact inclusions before reserving.
No. Purchase your attraction count first and choose eligible experiences afterwards. However, reserve any booking-required attractions/activities before visiting rather than assuming your preferred time will be available.
Blanket queue-skipping benefit does not exist if you have a Paris City Card. Entry arrangements depend on the specific experience. Ensure that you follow the attraction’s reservation and admission instructions rather than treating the pass as universal priority access.
No. The Explorer Pass lets you cover a selected number of attractions over 30 days. All-Inclusive Passes help you visit as many sights as you can within a select number of consecutive calendar days.
Yes, you can. Although the Pass lets you explore attractions over 30 days, you can group your selected visits into one day if you’re on a tighter schedule.
Your remaining choices expire when the 30-day post-activation period ends. So, buy only the number of experiences you realistically expect to visit rather than relying on a later extension.
