Having a timed entrance was a really good option, quick & simple, tickets to hand & away we was. Museum was huge, headed straight to see the iconic mona lisa, it was very busy with a queue that moved really fast, the other artwork was just as amazing to look at too... spent hours wandering around. Thoroughly enjoyed by myself & daughter.

Even though we knew we opted for the timed entry with no guide, I would recommend to get a guide (even if its just audio guide - however a tour-group would be best). The Museum is MASIVE and not easy to navigate at all. That said - the Monalisa is very well indicated with directional signage (if that is all you are going for anyway)

Our time was limited to a couple of hours but with a plan we were able to see the pieces on our list. It was a sat and crowded but still able to get around easily. I would so go if you can only squeeze in one hour if seeing Mona Lisa is a bucket list.
