Nestled in a stunning 17th-century building in the Marais, the Musée Picasso showcases 5,000 pieces from the master himself and his personal collection, plus rooftop café bites.
"The Hôtel Salé alone is reason to visit, but of course the real draw is Picasso's oeuvre, more popular than ever following a much-hyped 2014 reopening. And since the museum is centrally located in the bustling Marais, it's easy to work the Musée Picasso into a day out shopping and dining. While there are other single-artist museums in Paris, the combination of Picasso's fame and the beauty of the setting make this one of the very best. Reserve tickets in advance to avoid long lines." - Melissa Liebling-Goldberg, Julia Eskins

"Museums tend to be quiet upon opening, fill up mid-day, and then thin out toward the evening. For example, the gorgeous Musée Picasso-Paris, which is located in the Marais District, opens at 10:30 a.m. on weekdays." - Travel + Leisure Editors
