The Eiffel Tower is a wrought-iron tower standing 324 meters tall on the Champ de Mars. Visitors can go to the top for stunning views of the city or even rappel down the tower.
A maze of tunnels and rooms lined with the bones and skulls of over 6 million people, the Catacombs of Paris is a creepy and fascinating experience. Visitors can take a walking tour or even an underground treasure hunt.
This park is an urban oasis that features waterfalls, cliffs, and a suspended bridge. Visitors can enjoy a picnic, take a cruise or rent a pedal boat to explore the lake.
Paris has an extensive public transportation system, including the subway, buses, and light rail. A one-way ticket costs €1.90, or you can purchase a 10-pack of tickets for €16.90. Taxis are also available but can be costly.
For those with more time, consider exploring the Palace of Versailles or taking a boat tour on the Seine River. For those with less time, skip Parc des Buttes-Chaumont or Eiffel Tower for more time at Catacombs of Paris.
The main airport serving Paris is Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), which is located approximately 30 minutes (4.8 km) from the Eiffel Tower. The airport code is CDG and it is the largest airport in France, with flights serving destinations worldwide.
