Start your day at the world-famous Louvre Museum, home to thousands of art pieces including the iconic Mona Lisa. You can easily spend hours getting lost in its galleries and exhibitions.
Visit the historic Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture with stunning stained glass windows and intricate carvings. Take in stunning views of Paris from the top of the towers, but be prepared to climb up 400 steps!
Feast on French cuisine at the city’s legendary brasserie, Au Pied de Cochon. Try the signature dish, roasted pig’s trotter, or indulge in other tasty treats like escargot and steak tartare.
No visit to Paris is complete without seeing the Eiffel Tower, an iconic symbol of the city. Enjoy the breathtaking view of the city skyline from the top, and stroll down the famous Champs-Elysées avenue lined with shops, cafes, and theaters.
Take a relaxing cruise down the Seine River to see Paris’ top landmarks from a different perspective. Admire the Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower, and the Louvre Museum all lit up at night.
Paris is best explored on foot, but the city also has an extensive public transport system including buses, trains, and metro lines. The cost of a single metro/bus ride is €1.90 or you can buy a day pass for unlimited use of metro and buses for €7.50. Taxis and Uber are also widely available but can be expensive during peak hours.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Palace of Versailles or the Catacombs of Paris. For a shorter trip, skip the Seine River Cruise and visit the Musée d'Orsay, a museum showcasing famous Impressionist paintings.
