As the birthplace of the Age of Enlightenment and a constant trendsetter in the world of fashion, Paris has cemented itself as one of the world's must-see cities. In a country known for exceptional food, style and culture, the capital delivers on all three counts.
The city is split into 20 districts (known as 'arrondissements'), which all display their own character. Le Marais (in the fourth arrondissement) is famed for its medieval, meandering lanes, full of traditional patisseries and chic boutiques. The area is also home to the iconic cathedral of Notre-Dame, considered one of the best examples of French Gothic architecture.
The seventh arrondissement is home to some of Paris' most famous landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides and Musée d'Orsay. Neighbouring districts also have plenty to offer, such as the famous Champs-Elysées, Arc de Triomphe and Opéra Garnier. In the centre of Paris you'll find the world-famous Musée du Louvre, home to tens of thousands of works of art, including da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa'. Further outside the city, but still worth a visit, are the mysterious Catacombs and the Château de Versailles.
Each French city takes pride in its cuisine and Paris is no exception, offering some of the world's best food. You'll find everything from three-Michelin-starred establishments like Restaurant Guy Savoy, to laid-back bistros like La Mascotte.
Offering fun for visitors of all ages, Disneyland Paris is located to the east of the city, in the suburb of Marne-la-Vallée and can be reached easily by train.

I like the atmosphere, the buildings, the terraces, thd french balconies. The Metro is sublime, hop on hop off doesn't add much convenience-wise, only high costs. The hop on- ticketing however is the only plus in comparison with the complexe Navigo-card system. Paris is very popular ant that comes with a price. You have to book a lof of tours or admission tickets (to museums etc.) in advance. At least more than 2 months before you go. Even on the first sunday of the month, where museums are free of charge, you have to GET a ticket 2 months prior to your visit. Be aware, I was not ☹. So that makes Paris one of my least spontaneous, but nonetheless beautiful destinations in the world. If you go from Europe, go by train. That's so relaxing, single or with family.

8 May 2024
We visited all the famous cafes and went to three exhibitions. We got used to the metro system and quite easily navigated our way around Paris. We had a drink at Les deux magots, a meal at le Protocole restaurant which was very expensive but good. The decor and historical background there was the best thing about it. We liked the cycling but one had to be very careful crossing the roads as cyclists come from different directions.
It is essential to book the Louvre well in advance.
8 May 2024
It is essential to book the Louvre well in advance. In fact book every museum well ahead to avoid the massive queues. Go to Montmartre in the morning as we found the afternoon was very crowded and warm ; it was impossible to get near the Sacre Coeur. We thought the wine in even the local restaurants was overpriced.

8 May 2024
This was my 5th time in Paris, I love the city and I'm lucky enough to have the train that takes me there in a little more than 2 hours. I felt safe travelling as a solo woman (and with the olympic coming it's also cleaner than usual)
A simple walk is enough to enjoy your time in Paris.
7 May 2024
A simple walk is enough to enjoy your time in Paris. However, it has become very expensive. Two simple or short coffees and a small bottle of water cost an average of 15 euros. 10 euros a pint for the cheapest lager beer. (House wine can be a bit cheaper.) It's hard to find a very modest breakfast for less than 10 euros, or a modest dinner for less than 30 euros, if you like to sit at a table to eat. There are very few public toilets, so you have to go to a bar to solve the problem, which makes your stay expensive, even if you don't spend money on tickets to special attractions. Unless you live in another very expensive city, supermarkets will also seem expensive. Tickets bought inside a bus sometimes do not allow continuing the trip with metro. And don't even think about not paying for tickets to avoid queues if you don't like getting up very early in the morning and waiting several hours to get in. In any case, the city is superlatively beautiful, in any sense of the word, and there is so much to admire.
We've visited Paris 4x.
7 May 2024
We've visited Paris 4x. And, we'll go again. Sublime atmosphere, fabulous food, enchanting architecture, kind people, many things to see & do, excellent shopping, stunning attractions. Can't think of a single reason NOT to go. Just beware of pickpockets....think ahead of how to protect your wallet & phone. Thieves are sublime, and you'll never see/feel when it happens. We found it works great to wear (women) a crossbody handbag with a raincoat over it. Theft proof. For men, wear a money belt. My husband took a jacket which he had a tailor put zippers into all the pockets..even the inside pockets. Worked great! We also typically carried a tote bag that contained umbrellas, touring information, etc. If they steal your tote bag....at least it's not anything super valuable. Ask the hotel to recommend restaurants. Go to the Louvre EARLY - get 9:00am times entry tickets. Get in before the crowds. Spend a whole day in Il de Cite. If you haven't seen a sunset from Sacre Coeur - definitely put that on your list! The Hop-on Hop-off bus is awesome. Wear comfortable shoes.
