We bought tickets online several weeks in advance. I highly recommend this since morning and early afternoon time slots sell out, especially during peak season and you save time by avoiding the ticket line.

The Starry night was one of the main attractions. There is a huge cafe on the top level, and a large outside area to see great views of Paris – can clearly see the Sacre Couer Basilique in the distance.
This is a must visit in Paris.

From Monet, Gauguin, Manet, Renoior to Van Gogh and so many more. Paintings and sculptures abound in the former train station. A half-day should be the minimum amount of time spent in the great halls of the Orsay. My last visit we elected to use a self-guided audio tour and enjoyed every step.
The Dance at the Moulin De La Galette by Renoir is my current favorite. Degas’ multi-texture sculpture Petite danseuse de quatorze ans is another favorite.
The Orsay is along the Seine near many other stops that I like to make when in the area. Stroll along the river and take in the magazine stands and vendors. Maybe a river tour starting from Pont Neuf. With a little time left in your day the Luxembourg Gardens and the Shakespeare and Co Bookstore are easy additions to your afternoon trek.
While I might prefer the Louvre or the Vatican overall as a museum…the Orsay has so many great works of art it should be included on your itinerary. Definitely, something for everyone on this side of the Seine.

This is one of the coolest art museums in Paris, it’s a must-visit if you’re Van Gogh’s fan or simply into art. What makes it really special is that the building itself used to be a huge train station, it was the Gare d’Orsay, built around the early 1900s. Instead of tearing it down, they turned it into a museum, which means you get this amazing mix of old industrial architecture and art all in one place.
Inside, the museum is packed with incredible artworks, mostly from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. You’ll find tons of famous Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings here, artists like Monet, Degas, Renoir, Van Gogh, and Cézanne. If you love those bright, colorful paintings or want to get a feel for the art that changed the world, this is the spot.
Besides paintings, the museum also has sculptures, decorative arts, and photography. It’s pretty manageable in size, so you don’t get overwhelmed like in some bigger museums.
The museum sits right on the left bank of the Seine, close to the Louvre and the charming Saint-Germain area. So, it’s easy to fit it into a day of exploring Paris.
It’s recommended to visit here. 🙂
