What should I not miss in Paris?
Do not miss the Seine at walking pace, one museum you genuinely care about, the Eiffel Tower after dark, a neighborhood morning and a properly chosen Paris dinner. Those five experiences reveal more of Paris than a rushed list of twenty monuments.
The five experiences
Walk from Île de la Cité toward the Louvre; choose the Louvre, Orsay or a smaller museum; see the tower sparkle; spend a morning in Montmartre, the Marais or Saint-Germain; and reserve a table that fits your taste. Add Sainte-Chapelle for one of the city's most concentrated visual experiences.
What you may safely skip
Skip any famous attraction that does not interest you, generic “Paris in a day” coach tours and restaurants selected only for a landmark view. Build your own shortlist through our Paris experience guide.
