For short visits, buying ten-ticket carnets as needed and sharing the tickets usually is your best option. The Paris Visite pass is overpriced. For longer visits the best pass is a Navigo Semaine. It's good Monday-Sunday (not any seven days) so the days of the week you'll be in Paris make a difference on whether it is a good deal or not. How many of you will be traveling together? How many days will you be in Paris? What day of the week will you arrive and what day of the week will you leave?

Hi Niki, It depends. My parents used a spreadsheet and compared the cost to each museums that they wanted to see to the cost of the city pass. Also, many museums may let children/teens enter for free. I recommend that you do some research and then make the best decision. By the way, we bought ours at a Tabac stand. Bon voyage!

niki, are you sure you need the "Paris Viste" pass, it usually ends up costing more then if you just buy a Paris "Museum"pass and some carnets of tickets for metro /bus.It depends on how long you are in Paris for, how long is your visit.
The Paris Museum Pass can be purchased at most museums it is used at, and also at the airport at the Tourist Information desk. Also, where is your hotel, we can tell you which museum is closest to you for you to buy a pass.
