Louvre Museum · Paris

Choose two or three collections instead of trying to finish every gallery. Include the Mona Lisa if it matters to you, without making one painting the whole visit. The pyramid courtyard and a museum visit require very different amounts of time. The museum closes on Tuesdays. Once your slot is set, add a Tuileries break; an outdoor stop can be more restful than a second major museum.
