What to do in Paris

Paris, a city with an unparalleled range of activities, is waiting to be discovered. Delve into the artistic wonders of the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay, climb the iconic Eiffel Tower and cruise the winding Seine. Immerse yourself in a wealth of culture, history and romance. With its rich heritage and endless sights, Paris promises a scintillating journey for any visitor in search of world-class attractions and exquisite gastronomy.

Top six things to do in Paris

1. Marvel at the art in the Louvre

Enjoy a top cultural experience at the Louvre Museum, a must-visit attraction in Paris. With its vast collection of art spanning centuries and civilsations, the Louvre offers a fascinating glimpse into human history and creativity. Don’t miss masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa, the statue of Amor and Pysche, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. To fully appreciate the treasures and get to know this distinguished institution better, consider a guided tour.

2. Admire the masterpieces of the Musée d’Orsay

Go on an artistic journey through the Musée d’Orsay, in the heart of Paris. Housed in a former train station, this museum has an extraordinary collection of 19th and early 20th century masterpieces. From Impressionist marvels by Monet, Van Gogh and Renoir to beautiful sculptures and decorative arts, a tour of the Musée d’Orsay takes you through an exciting era of creativity and innovation.

3. Climb the Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower, the symbol of Paris, is a must-see for anyone visiting the city for the first time. Completed in 1889, it is 330 metres high and offers breathtaking views of the city. You can take the elevator during a visit or challenge yourself and climb the stairs. The view from the first, second and third levels shows the city of lights in all its splendour, with monuments such as Notre-Dame and Sacré-Cœur Basilica in the distance.

4. Cruise the Seine

Take a river cruise on the Seine – a fun experience that shows the charm of the city from a different perspective. As you relaxedly cruise the river, admire monuments such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame and the Musée d’Orsay. Behold the elegant bridges, historic quays and historic neighbourhoods that adorn the banks of the Seine. A river cruise on the Seine takes you through the timeless beauty of Paris.

5. Travel back in time on the Île de la Cité

This island in the middle of the Seine is home to three medieval structures. The Sainte-Chapelle, a Gothic jewel, enchants with its beautiful stained-glass windows depicting biblical stories. The Conciergerie reveals the remains of a medieval palace converted into a revolutionary prison, where Marie Antoinette was once held. And the early Gothic Notre-Dame Cathedral, with its ornate façade and bell towers, needs no introduction.

6. Go to Disneyland® Paris for the day

Make your Parisian adventure even more magical with a visit to Disneyland® Paris, a dreamland of enchantment and wonder. If you stay in the French capital for several days, don’t miss the opportunity to visit this famous amusement park. It’s easily accessible from the city and a 45-minute train journey – by RER – will take you to a world full of beloved attractions such as Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, thrilling rides like Space Mountain and encounters with Disney characters.

Get ready to visit Paris

When’s the best time to visit Paris?

Paris is mesmerising all year round. But the months from April to May and September to October are often considered the best times to visit. The weather is cool but sunny. In the spring, you can catch the city in bloom, while in the autumn, you can make your way through the crisp autumn leaves. During summer, the weather is generally pleasant, but the main attractions fill up with crowds of visitors. In August, you may happen to find services and venues closed for the holidays. If you’re looking for good deals, then winter is the best time. Flight and accommodation prices tend to drop, and the city is a little less crowded.

How many days should you spend in Paris?

Paris is a cosmopolitan city. It’s rich in culture, history and art as well as being famous for its shopping and its nightlife. On a tight schedule, three days give you enough time to explore the city’s main attractions. But we recommend exploring it at a more relaxed pace. Spending five days or even a week in the city is ideal. This way, you can visit the main attractions of the City of Lights, while also uncovering its hidden and lesser-known corners. You’ll also have plenty of time to join a guided tour of the city and take a few day trips in the surrounding area, including a must-do excursion to the Palace of Versailles.

Where are the best places to stay in Paris?

Paris is a big city made up of 20 arrondissements. Parisians consider them to be small towns, each with its own charm. Some popular areas where you can stay in Paris include Le Marais – 3rd and 4th arrondissements – with its historic buildings and trendy boutiques. In the bohemian Montmartre – 18th arrondissement – home of the Sacré-Cœur, you can find more affordable accommodation. This area is particularly popular with artists and musicians. And the Latin Quarter – 5th arrondissement – is a lively student neighbourhood on the south bank of the Seine. The 1st, 6th and 7th arrondissements are also quite popular, being very central, elegant and with eye-catching terraces. Iconic attractions, such as the Louvre, the Jardin du Luxembourg and the Eiffel Tower, are all conveniently located here.
