You visit Paris because it’s Paris – a city known for its effortless combination of breathtakingly grand monuments, twilight river walks passing by luxury hotels and bohemian cafés buzzing with beautiful people defining European style, elegance and class. As one of the world’s most extraordinary cities, the French capital will leave your senses spellbound with the taste of fine dishes, the scent of fresh bread and the feel of its cobbled streets beneath your feet. The only thing you can’t have more of in the self-proclaimed ‘City of Love’ is time – and with that in mind, here’s our guide to the Paris attractions you really need to see.
What’s the first thing that leaps to mind when you think about what to do in Paris? It has to be a trip to the city’s skyscraping sentinel – the Eiffel Tower. As one of the world’s most photographed structures, iconic doesn’t quite cover it. You might think you’ve seen plenty of it in countless movie scenes down the years, but there’s a lot that’s simply “you had to be there” about the Eiffel Tower experience, especially at night. Hitch a ride up in the vintage elevator to take in the twinkling streetlights of the city it has overlooked – and symbolized – since it was built in 1889. Eiffel Tower tickets can be purchased online or in person at the tower itself. You can opt to visit only the first two floors or buy a ticket for the top and gain access to the whole tower.
