Paris City Pass: worth it or not, and when it pays off
Paris City Pass is a day pass: everything on its list, for a set number of days. Turbopass sells it in 7 options from EUR 139.90 to EUR 279.90 for one adult, checked October 2026.
It includes 8 attractions in our Paris data, 8 with a published gate price, and leaves out 11. The figures below are arithmetic on those prices, not a rating of the pass.
For one adult, the 1 day option at EUR 139.90 pays for itself after any 7 of the attractions we price on it, which is more than its days hold at 4 visits a day; the 7 days option at EUR 279.90 does not pay for itself with the attractions we price on it.
