What should you do in Paris?

With its soaring basilicas, grand boulevards, and hidden passages that open onto lively squares, Paris never stops surprising you. Break up your strolls with a café crème and a flaky croissant, or a crêpe and a box of macarons. Cross the Seine to Île de la Cité to admire Notre-Dame and the luminous stained glass of Sainte-Chapelle, then climb to Sacré-Cœur for sweeping views over the city.

What sights are there in Paris?

Eiffel Tower

The symbol of Paris and a triumph of human ambition, the Eiffel Tower has captivated travelers since 1889. Ascend its iron lattice structure for sweeping views of the city’s rooftops and the Seine. Whether sparkling at night or glowing in the afternoon sun, it’s the heartbeat of Paris—elegant, iconic, unforgettable.More...

Louvre Museum

Home to the Mona Lisa and thousands of other masterpieces, the Louvre is the world’s largest art museum and a monument to human creativity. Once a royal palace, it now houses art and artifacts from nearly every civilization. Wander through grand galleries and quiet corridors where history meets imagination.

Notre-Dame de Paris

A masterpiece of Gothic architecture, Notre-Dame has watched over Paris for more than 850 years. From its intricate façade to its legendary gargoyles, every detail tells a story of faith and craftsmanship. Step inside for luminous stained glass, or admire the towers that still define the city’s skyline.

Musée d’Orsay

Housed in a former Beaux-Arts railway station, the Musée d’Orsay celebrates the art of the 19th and early 20th centuries. See the world through the eyes of Monet, Van Gogh, and Degas as light and color transform the way you see art. The clock windows alone are worth the visit.

Montmartre & Sacré-Cœur

Perched high above Paris, Montmartre is where creativity and bohemian spirit still thrive. Wander cobbled streets once walked by Picasso and Dalí, then climb to the gleaming white dome of Sacré-Cœur. From here, the view over Paris feels like a painting come to life.

Seine River Cruise

Experience Paris from its most romantic avenue: the Seine. Glide past the city’s landmarks as golden bridges and tree-lined quays drift by. Whether by day or by night, a river cruise reveals how seamlessly history and beauty flow through the French capital.

Palace of Versailles

Just outside Paris, Versailles embodies the splendor of France’s royal past. Stroll through the Hall of Mirrors, wander vast gardens designed by Le Nôtre, and imagine life at court under Louis XIV. It’s a journey into a world of art, ambition, and opulence.

Opéra Garnier

A temple of music and elegance, the Opéra Garnier dazzles with marble staircases, chandeliers, and Chagall’s painted ceiling. Step inside this 19th-century masterpiece to feel the grandeur of Parisian culture, or simply to marvel at one of the world’s most beautiful theaters.

Le Marais

Where medieval streets meet modern style, Le Marais is one of Paris’s most fascinating districts. Boutique galleries, hidden courtyards, and cafés fill this historic neighborhood with creative energy. Once home to aristocrats, now it’s where Paris’s past and present live side by side.

Jardin du Luxembourg

An oasis in the heart of the Left Bank, the Jardin du Luxembourg is where Parisians come to slow down. With its manicured lawns, fountains, and sailboats on the pond, it’s perfect for an afternoon stroll or quiet reflection beneath the shade of chestnut trees.

Musée Rodin

Set within a graceful mansion and sculpture garden, the Musée Rodin invites you into the world of one of France’s greatest artists. See The Thinker, The Kiss, and The Gates of Hell surrounded by roses and light—a setting as poetic as the works themselves.

Arc de Triomphe & Champs-Élysées

Crowning the city’s most famous boulevard, the Arc de Triomphe honors those who fought for France. Climb to the top for panoramic views of twelve radiating avenues and the distant Eiffel Tower. Below, the Champs-Élysées hums with life, fashion, and timeless Parisian allure.Less

Practical information for your trip

A Paris trip varies by style and season. Plan roughly $230–320 per day for a comfortable mid-range stay (hotel, meals, a few paid sights, local transport), or $120–180 on a budget and $450–700+ for luxury. Flights from the U.S. average $650–1,000 in spring/fall and $900–1,400+ in summer/holidays; prices rise in peak months.

➔ France travel cost

The best time to visit Paris is in spring (April–May) and fall (September–October). These seasons offer mild weather, blooming parks, and lively cultural events—perfect for exploring the city on foot and enjoying its cafés, museums, and riverbanks without the summer crowds.

➔ Best time to visit France

What you pack for your trip to Paris will depend on the season. In summer, lightweight clothing, sunglasses, and good sun protection are essential for walking tours and café terraces. Spring and fall call for layers and a light rain jacket to handle changing weather, while winter brings the need for a warm coat and waterproof shoes. Comfortable footwear is a must year-round for exploring museums and cobblestone streets. For evenings out or visits to elegant venues, it’s worth packing one or two smart outfits, as Parisians appreciate a touch of style.
