The Best Tourist Destinations in Paris
There are so many interesting things to see in Paris, it might be hard to start narrowing down the list. Here’s a brief list of some of the sites in Paris that are definitely must-see attractions.
The first thing you should probably consider doing is seeing a day tour of the city, since this can give you some more ideas of what would attract you personally. This will also help you get a general idea of the city’s layout, so you won’t be completely lost once you’re out and about the city on your own. Make sure you know how to pronounce where you’re staying, just in case. With these things in mind, you should have a great time in Paris!
When people talk about Paris, they inevitably mention the Eiffel Tower. The tower itself commands an impressive view of the city. The tower is open in the summer from 9:30AM until Midnight and during the winter from 10:00AM to 11:00PM every day of the week.
The Louvre is another obvious selection on any quick tour of Paris, especially for art lovers. There are over 35,000 pieces of artwork housed in this museum from prehistory to the nineteenth century.
For those interested in History, the Notre Dame Cathedral is another must-see attraction. Unfortunately, there is limited mobility access in most places. Not only is Notre Dame a great tourist destination, it’s also free of charge.
The largest public park in the nation, Luxembourg Gardens is a great destination for nature lovers. The scenery here is absolutely breathtaking. There is something for everyone here with attractions for the kids as well that include a carousel, ponies, and puppet shows.
Located on the Seine River, Paris Plage is a great beach with many attractions. The exact attractions available change, as the city adds and removes attractions periodically. It is free to go to the beach but each individual attraction has its own admission price.
