A few days later, a one-year card is mailed to you at the address you give (your hotel in the Netherlands, for example). The temporary card may still be worthwhile for those on a short stay; the one-year card can be a very good deal for those staying longer.

• The Museumpas is now called the "Musea Brugge Card" (€32, valid for 3 days at 13 locations, available online and at museum ticket offices). While it covers fewer sights than the previous version, it's still a good value, as it covers admission to the Groeninge and Sint-Janshospitaal museums.

While most of the church is still free to enter it now costs €12.50 to view the Ghent Altarpiece (ticket also covers the rest of the choir and the Rubens painting), or €16 to also visit the crypt. Since lines for the altarpiece can be long, it's smart to book a timed-entry ticket ahead of your visit, especially for weekends and any day in July and August.

• The National Portrait Gallery is set to reopen on June 22, 2023 (after that open daily 10:30–18:00, Fri–Sat until 21:00).
• The Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery is closed for renovation until spring 2025, and artwork may be moved around while it's underway. Long entry lines, however, remain a problem.

For books printed before September 2022, the following may also apply:

• Most of London's major sights, including many that don't charge admission, now primarily offer admission via online bookings, which generate a QR code that's scanned upon entry. This means that the "Fast Track" tickets are being phased out (as they're now redundant given each sight's on online-booking system).
• Many sights have been slow to resume weekly evening openings following the pandemic; check ahead before assuming a sight is (or isn't) open late at least once a week.
• Many museums — especially smaller ones — have done away with audio-/multimedia guides, as well as printed brochures, and now free apps in their stead. The free Bloomberg Connects app is worth downloading, as it provides in-depth audio commentary for several good museums, including the Churchill War Rooms, Sir John Soane's Museum, and Courtauld Gallery.
• Most payment in London is now credit-card (or mobile-device) based. In many situations, such as transit, cash is often not accepted.

Space is limited and a timed-entry ticket is required, available in 15-minute intervals; purchase on the Abbey's website.

• If your passport is due to expire within six months of your ticketed date of return from Europe, you need to renew it.

For books printed before October 2022, the following may also apply:

• Barge Nilaya has new contact information: +33 6 51 25 78 46, kevin@bargenilaya.fr.

For books printed before November 2019, the following may also apply:

• Eurail Select Passes are no longer being sold (but similarly priced Global Passes still are) — see our 2019 rail-travel update.

For books printed before January 2019, the following may also apply:

• French hotels recently won the legal right to undercut Booking.com and Hotels.com prices on their own hotel websites; virtually all hotels can offer lower rates than a site like Booking.com if you book directly. If you find a cheaper offer on a third-party site, let the hotel know, and they'll likely be willing to adjust their direct booking rate.
• Baggage check services near train stations are becoming more common throughout France (through hotels, tourist information offices, and small shops). Day-trippers should always ask about available baggage check services at the tourist information office.
• The speed limit for two-lane D and N routes is now 80 km/hour unless the road has a divider separating the lanes, in which case it's 90 km/hour.

• A two-part visitor experience is now open at Notre-Dame Cathedral (in the underground parking garage behind the Archeological Crypt). The "In the Heart of the Restoration" exhibit uses video monitors to explain the monumental task of rebuilding the cathedral following the catastrophic 2019 fire. And the breathtaking "Eternelle Notre-Dame" virtual-reality experience lets visitors travel through time from the cathedral's 12th-century construction up to the fire. Highlights include gazing into the nave from above; watching the assembly of rose windows; "meeting" the cathedral's architect, craftsmen, and first bishop; and gazing at views over Paris from the Middle Ages through today. The first exhibit is free, but the virtual-reality experience is fairly pricey (€35, €25 for kids under 18, cheaper online — choose the Notre-Dame square location, not the other location at La Défense; both parts open Tue–Sun 10:00–20:00, closed Mon).

For books printed before September 2022, the following may also apply:

• We no longer recommend waiting to buy the Paris Museum Pass once you get to Paris — since some covered sights need to be booked ahead (such as the Louvre), it's best to purchase your pass online in advance of your trip.
• Timed-entry tickets are now required at the Louvre; we recommend reserving online up to a few hours before your visit (a day or more before in high season). Visitors can enter at the pyramid up to 30 minutes before their assigned time. Also, the museum is now only open late (untill 21:45) on Fridays (late Wednesdays and first Saturdays may resume in 2023; check their site for the latest). Its Post-Impressionist works are now on Level 5 (not Level 2), near the Impressionist rooms.
• The Cluny Museum has reopened after a major renovation (€12, Tue–Sun 9:30–18:15, closed Mon).
• The Paris Sewer Museum has reopened (now €9, covered by Museum Pass, Tue–Sun 10:00–17:00, closed Mon, last entry one hour before closing).
• The National Maritime Museum is now slated to reopen in October 2023.

• Young & Happy Hostel has closed.

• A Paris–Nice night train is now running again (12 hours, does not run daily).
• Overnight Paris–Italy trains are no longer operating; direct trains between France and Italy are now limited to daytime TGV and Frecciarossa trains on the Paris–Lyon–Turin–Milan route.
• A new Paris–Vienna night train now runs three times a week (14 hours; keep in mind that flying may be cheaper).
• Le Bus Direct (formerly just known as the Air France bus) has gone out of business. Good alternatives for reaching the city center from Paris' airports include the Roissybus and RER/Train-B.
• The correct phone number for airport-transfer service Inter Service Prestige is +37 7 62 23 23 31.

For books printed before January 2021, the following may also apply:

• The Paris Archaeological Crypt has reopened after the Notre-Dame fire closure.
• The Fragonard Perfume Museum has moved to 3 Square Louis Jouvet.
• The Carnavalet Museum has reopened after a major multiyear renovation.
• If you plan to visit the Louvre with a Museum Pass, we recommend making a reservation in advance, even for an off-season visit. You can book a reservation online as late as the day of your visit, even in high season — but you do need to get your Museum Pass first, as the site will ask you to enter your pass's number. While the Museum Pass now carries a one-visit-per-museum restriction, the Louvre's three wings count as different museums for the sake of the pass — so you can visit the Louvre three times on one pass, provided you enter through a different wing each time.
• The Puces St. Ouen tourist information office has new telephone number: +33 1 55 87 67 50.

• The Paris Museum Pass is now activated at the time of first use and is time-based (not days-based). For example, a two-day pass gives you 48 hours of use from the time you first use it (e.g. if your first entry is at 13:00, you get 48 hours from 13:00). While prices have increased, it's still the best value of all the passes offered in Paris, and pays for itself with four key admissions in two days (for example, the Louvre, Orsay, Sainte-Chapelle, and Versailles).
• Paper Métro tickets are being phased out in favor of plastic Navigo travel cards, which cover transit on the Métro, public buses, and the RER/suburban train. Single-use tickets for buses and the RER/suburban train will likely remain available. There are two Navigo options:
  • Navigo Easy Card: Load euros onto your €2 Navigo Easy card and pay as you ride (€1.90/ride), or load the card with a 10-ride pass (€14.90) or day pass (€7.50 for Zones 1-2).
  • Navigo Decouverte Pass: This chip-embedded card costs a one-time €5 fee. When you buy, select from a weekly (€23) or monthly pass and ride unlimited during that time.
  You can buy your Navigo Easy or Découverte card at any staffed Métro station and at most tabacs.
