How Many Days in Paris?

How many days do you need in Paris? Use our free planner to get your ideal Paris trip length in 30 seconds, tailored to whether it is your first visit, your travel pace, your interests, and the day trips you want to add. Built by a local Paris team.

The short answer

For a first visit, 4 to 5 days is the sweet spot: enough to cover the icons like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Notre-Dame, eat well, and still wander without rushing. Three days works for a focused highlights trip. Add one full day for each major day trip such as Versailles, Giverny, Champagne or the Loire Valley. Returning travellers and those who prefer a relaxed pace are happiest with 6 to 7 days.

How the planner works

Tell us if it is your first time in Paris, choose a relaxed, balanced or packed pace, pick the things you most want to do, and add any day trips. The tool returns a recommended number of days in Paris plus day-trip days, then turns it into a real day-by-day itinerary if you want it planned for you.
