Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower is one of the most iconic sites in Paris. It was built in 1889 by Gustave Eiffel to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution and demonstrate that France had the money and the ingenuity to build the tallest structure in the world. After 20 years, the plan was to disassemble its iron beams. However, the Eiffel Tower became invaluable to the French government when Mr. Eiffel added an antenna to its top. Because of Mr. Eiffel’s cleverness and the world’s fondness for the Eiffel Tower, it now has a permanent place in Paris.
The Eiffel Tower attracts 7 million tourists a year and an obvious choice for my not to miss highlights in and around Paris. With so many visitors, it makes sense to plan ahead to make your visit as smooth as possible.
Tips for buying tickets for the Eiffel Tower.
- Buy your ticket in advance. Visit the official Eiffel Tower website to purchase your ticket and opt for access to the summit. You can book your ticket up to 60 days in advance. Tickets can sell out quickly, especially for the summer months.
- A skip the line ticket and a ticket purchased on the official Eiffel Tower website provide the same privileges.
- There’s still hope for last-minute tickets. On the day you plan to visit, go to the online ticket office to see if there are any online tickets available.
- If all else fails, try the ticket office at the Eiffel Tower. Even if there are no online tickets available, there may still be tickets for sale at the Eiffel Tower.
Our wing it approach to buying tickets for the Eiffel Tower.
We did not buy tickets in advance to see the Eiffel Tower. Most of the lines were long when we arrived, so naturally, we looked for the shortest line. Our only option was to walk to the second floor rather than take the elevator. If you’re not in shape or do not like heights, I would not suggest the climb. Otherwise, the stairs are not an issue.
During our visit, the summit access tickets were no longer available. However, with a little dumb luck and patience (we waited over an hour, but had a good view and beer to keep us occupied), we managed to reach the summit! However, I now realize it would have been a lot easier to buy a ticket in advance.
Tips for visiting the Eiffel Tower.
- Best time of day to visit the Eiffel Tower. Visiting right before sunset allows you to take advantage of both a beautiful clear day (hopefully), and the views of Paris lit up at night. Plus, you can see the Eiffel Tower sparkle under the night’s sky. The view is spectacular.
- Views of the city. On a clear day, you can see much of Paris from the Eiffel Tower. The second floor gives you a bird’s eye view of the city and allows you to identify some of Paris’ landmarks.
- In contrast, the summit offers a broader view of the city, but because of the summit’s height, it is harder to distinguish historical monuments.
- Leave time for security checks. Get to the Eiffel Tower 30 minutes before your ticket time to make sure you have enough time to get through the security lines.
- Walk down from the second floor. The lines for the elevators can be quite long. If you’re on the second floor and ready to leave, use the stairs to walk down instead of waiting in a long elevator line.
- Read the official Eiffel Tower tips before your visit. These tips provide essential information, such as a reminder to bring your ID and directions for accessing the proper entrance.
- Bring a jacket. If you plan to visit the summit, bring a jacket. The temperature at the summit can be much colder than down below, and the wind can be fierce. You can check the temperature at the summit before you leave your hotel room.
- Stop for a view of Mr. Eiffel’s apartment. If you purchase a ticket to the summit, you can peer through a window and see his secret apartment. Could you imagine having a private residence in the Eiffel Tower?
Louvre
Another standout on my list of not to miss highlights in and around Paris is the Louvre. The Louvre was originally a fortress built in 1190 on the right bank of the River Seine to protect the city from invaders. Over the years, the Louvre served many other purposes, such as the official residence of the Kings of France (beginning in 1528), a home to numerous heads of state, and now the most famous museum in the world. The Louvre houses art collections from the Middle Ages to 1848, as well as artifacts and art from ancient civilizations.
In 1989, the infamous glass pyramids were added to the Louvre to provide natural light to the museum’s extensive underground expansion and to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution.
Practical information about the Louvre.
- Operating Hours. The Louvre is open every day (except Tuesday) from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Louvre is open on Wednesdays and Fridays until 9:45 p.m. Admission is free on the first Saturday of each month, which means the museum is likely to be more crowded on those days.
- Entrances. There are multiple entrances to the Louvre. The easiest way to find the main entrance is to look for the line of people by the glass pyramid.
The majority of tourists use this entrance. However, other points of entry generally have shorter lines. Click here for a video with a map of the different entrances.
- Skip the line pass. There are millions of visitors to the Louvre each year. You can purchase a skip the line pass, which allows you to bypass the ticket window, lots of tourists, and head straight to the security line.
Both times I went to the Louvre I opted to buy my ticket on the day of my visit. When I used the Carousel entrance, the line was minimal. However, at the pyramid entrance, the wait time (with security) was about 45 minutes. I didn’t mind, though; it was a beautiful day outside.
Helpful tips for once you’re inside the Louvre.
Visitors have mixed feelings about the Louvre because navigating through the labyrinth of three wings, several levels, and numerous exhibition rooms can be confusing and downright irritating. Fear not, I have a few tips to help you get you through the Louvre.
First, determine which pieces of art you want to see during your visit. For instance, are the Mona Lisa and Winged Victory of Samothrace on your list, or do you prefer to see jewelry or art from ancient civilizations?
Second, do some research before heading to the Louvre to determine if there is a manageable way to see your art highlights without running from end to end and skipping the masterpieces in the middle.
Third, rent the audio guide. The audio guide acts as an interactive map and provides context to what you are seeing. The audio guide makes the museum come to life.
Alternatively, hire a tour guide. The tour guide can take you directly to the art you want to see as well as highlight fascinating pieces that might not have been on your must-see list.
Fourth, if possible, give yourself several hours to stroll through the museum at a leisurely pace. Allow yourself to get lost in the stories told by the art. By providing yourself at least half a day to tour the Louvre, it relieves the pressure of having to see specific works of art in a short amount of time.
A strategy for your visit can enhance your experience
I have seen the Louvre looking for works of art in quick secession as well as giving myself time to enjoy the museum. There is no comparison between the two visits. The first was stressful and, honestly, not much fun. But when I gave myself the freedom to wander around, I had time to see numerous masterpieces I missed the first time. Plus, I was able to enjoy the visit without feeling pressured to quickly get in and out of the museum. We even stopped along the way to have a glass of wine.
Jardin des Tuileries
The Jardin des Tuileries is a beautiful garden that separates the Louvre from the Palace de la Concorde. It is one of the most extensive gardens in Paris, providing open green space to the public free of charge. If you stand in the garden, you can see both the Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe from the same spot. All you have to do is turn your head from one side to the other. The Tuileries is a great place to grab a quick snack and rest your feet before heading to the Louvre or up the Champs-Élysées.
If you are in the mood for a sweet treat, head to the nearby Maison Angelina for eye dropping pastries and delicious hot chocolate.
Avenue des Champs-Élysées
The Avenue des Champs-Élysées is one most beautiful avenues in the world and that is why it makes my list of not to miss highlights in and around Paris. It is a 2-kilometer street that runs directly from the Arc de Triomphe through the Place de la Concorde and the Jardin des Tuileries and ends at the Louvre. It is almost impossible to visit Paris and not venture onto the Champs-Élysées.
On the Champs-Élysées, you will find luxury and flagship stores, cafes, and restaurants. Although it has become a significant tourist attraction with chain retailers replacing small boutiques, some of the old-world charms remain. Many of the buildings still showcase their original grandeur.
On your walk, stop into the famous tea room – Ladurée – for its wildly popular macaroons or head to the back and try the chocolate ice cream with mini ice macaroons.
Even if you don’t stop to shop, walking the Champs-Élysées from the Arc de Triomphe through the Jardin des Tuileries to the Louvre allows you to see these must-see destinations in short-order. Also, on the first Sunday of the month, the Champs-Élysées is closed to cars from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. giving pedestrians full access to roam the avenue.
Arc de Triomphe
The Arc de Triomphe is located at the western end of the Champs-Élysées in the center of the Place Charles de Gaulle. A climb to the top offers visitors a bird’s eye view of the Champs-Élysées. The French built the Arc de Triomphe to honor Napoleon’s victorious army. Every evening at 6:30 p.m., the tomb of the Unknown Soldier flame is lit to remember the fallen soldiers.
Admission is free on the first Sunday of the month from January 1st to March 31st and from November 1st to December 31st.
Musée d’Orsay
Musée d’Orsay is at the top of my list of not to miss highlights in and around Paris for two reasons. First, the collection of impressionist paintings is one of the best in the world. Second, the museum building itself is stunning. Formerly a train station, the Musée d’Orsay was converted into an architectural masterpiece in 1986.
Musée d’Orsay is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9.30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. except on Thursdays when the museum is open until 9:45 p.m. A skip the line ticket is available, but in my experience, it hasn’t been necessary but you might want to take a tour.
I love visiting just before sunset when the museum is generally less crowded. At dusk, the views from the infamous clock with the Seine as a backdrop are not easy to forget.
If you decide to visit at sunset, I suggest starting with the impressionist gallery on the fifth floor. Here you will find works of art by Van Gogh, such as Starry Night, Self- Portrait, and Fritillaries, as well as masterpieces by Gauguin, Claude Monet, P-A. Renoir, and other famous artists. By starting at the top of the museum and working your way down, you will have more than enough time to see some of the most famous impressionist works of art.
Once you exit the Musée d’Orsay, head towards the Saint-Germain area to check out local shops and restaurants.
Explore the River Seine
The Seine River is a major commercial waterway not just in Paris, but throughout France. The Seine is 777 kilometers (483 miles) long and runs from Source-Seine (a town near Dijon in the Burgundy region) through the City of Paris to the English Channel. The River Seine became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1991.
A popular way to experience the Seine River is to take a river cruise.
The River Seine divides Paris into the left bank and the right bank. To venture from one bank to the other, you can walk across one of the 37 bridges that span the Seine. None more famous than the Pont des Arts where lovers (mostly tourists) attach padlocks of love to the bridge and throw their keys of love into the river. Due to safety concerns, the City of Paris now encourages people to take selfies instead of leaving locks of love.
There are several ways to enjoy the River Seine.
- Walk the river. You can stroll along the banks of the river and stop at cafes and shops along the way. A walk along the river is enjoyable, and I suggest stopping at a cafe to admire the Seine and enjoy an afternoon snack of cheese and wine.
- River cruise. Another option is a river cruise where you can take in the sites of Paris from a different perspective and rest your feet. The river cruises run during the day and at night and have an optional meal. If you opt for a night cruise, you can see the City of Lights lit up. Two river cruise suggestions are Bateaux-Mouches and Bateaux Parisiens. The best views on the dinner cruise are upfront next to a window.
- Bike ride. The last option is to bike up/down the Seine. You can either rent a bike or take a bike tour. On a beautiful afternoon, this would be a great way to see Paris and the river.
Notre Dame Cathedral
Notre Dame Cathedral is on a small island in the middle of the Seine called Île de la Cité. The Cathedral, built-in 1345, remains a major tourist attraction. However, in 2019, a fire caused widespread destruction. The towers, treasures, and crypt are closed to the public until further notice. You can still walk around the outside of the Cathedral, but sadly you will not be able to go inside.
Île de la Cité
Île de la Cité makes my list of not to miss highlights in and around Paris because it offers more than just Notre Dame. It is a quaint island in the middle of the Seine with unique shops, art galleries, and restaurants. After you have a chance to walk around Norte Dame Cathedral, sit outside at one of the cafes overlooking the Seine. Next, continue your stroll through the island to see other historical landmarks such as the Sainte Chapelle chapel (beautiful stain glass), the Holocaust Memorial, historical Jewish synagogues, the Palais de Justice, and la Conciergerie (where Marie Antoinette was a prisoner during the French Revolution until her execution). You can also take a guided tour ofÎle de la Cité.
Marais
Marais is a hip and trendy part of Paris located in the 3rd and 4th arrondissements. The cobblestone streets of Marais offer stylish shops, great restaurants, art galleries, and a vibrant nightlife. Marias is a great place for a walking tour where you can explore the Jewish quarter (quiet on Saturdays), a thriving LGBTQ community, the Picasso Museum which houses more than 5,000 pieces of art, and the Pompidou Centre (a modern and contemporary art museum). This exciting part of town makes my list of not to miss highlights in and around Paris.
Eating in Marais
If you are hungry while in Marais, you can take a food tour or enjoy two popular street food options:
- L’as du Fallafel. People line up around the corner for the falafel at L’as du Fallafel. The falafel is legendary.
- Chez Alain Miam Miam. Tourists and local Parisians alike queue up to taste the freshly made sandwiches at Chez Alain Miam Miam. You can find Chez Alain Miam Main in Marché des Enfants Rouges, the oldest food market in Marias.
If you are looking for a classic brasserie, try Les Philosophes.
Les Catacombs de Paris
The catacombs make my list of not to miss highlights in and around Paris because although creepy, it is a fascinating place to visit. In the 1780s, Parisians were experiencing significant health problems stemming from overcrowded cemeteries. To combat the health issues, and under cover of darkness, the government haphazardly moved human remains from several cemeteries to former quarries. These quarries are part of a maze of tunnels that total approximately 800 hectares under the city. Eventually, six million skeletal remains were organized and now line the edges of the catacomb walls. You can take a catacombs tour and learn more about its history and understand more about what you see as you walk through the narrow passageways.
Before you visit the catacombs, you should know the following facts.
- The catacombs are 20 meters deep, which is equivalent to being 5-stories underground. The walk through the catacombs takes about an hour. If you have an issue with confined spaces, this tour is not for you.
- There are 131 steps down and 112 steps to climb back up to exit the catacombs. If you cannot walk stairs well, this tour is probably not for you.
- If you find the site of skulls and skeletal bones disturbing, then this tour is not for you.
- The catacombs are opened from Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. The ticket window closes at 7:30 p.m.
- Audio guides are available for your visit and a good idea.
- You can also take a guided tour.

Montmartre
Montmartre is perched high on a hill overlooking Paris, including the Eiffel Tower. The views alone are worth a trip out to Montmartre. Also, the colorful and charming houses, shops, and restaurants on idyllic cobblestone streets invite you to go for a walk and get lost in the streets of Paris.
But you should know, people tend to either love or hate Montmartre. Once a thriving artistic area of Paris, parts of Montmartre have morphed into a tourist trap. If you are going to visit Montmartre, try to get off the beaten path and keep your money and phone in your inside pockets. Petty crime and pickpocketing are all too common in Montmartre. To enjoy your visit and find the best spots to see, you might want to take a guided tour of Montmarte.
Besides the views, a major draw to Montmartre is the infamous Moulin Rouge and its dancers.
Sacre Caeur Basilica
A popular site in Montmartre is the Sacre Coeur basilica.
The Sacre Coeur is a functioning church with regular services. The church is accessible by funicular from the Place Saint-Pierre. Take advantage of the unobstructed views of Paris from the church steps or the top of the dome. For a free audio guide of Sacre Coeur, click here.
See a caberet show
It’s a rite of passage to see a cabaret show, and why it’s on my list of not to miss highlights in and around Paris. Two of the most talked-about cabaret shows in Paris are Le Crazy Horse Paris and Moulin Rouge.
Not wanting to miss the fun, we went to see Le Crazy Horse. Kudos to the women for the hard work they put into each show. The cabaret is entertaining.
There are a few things you show know before going to see Le Crazy Horse.
- Although there is nudity in the show, it is classy and sensual rather than tacky.
- These types of shows are little touristy but still fun.
- The cost of the performance can be steep by the time you buy your tickets and champagne.
- The performance is an intimate venue with the stage, and the seats close together. Keep the size of the room in mind when deciding how close to the stage you want to sit.
I have not been to the Moulin Rouge. However, the show must be good since it has been around since the late 1880s. One big difference between the Le Crazy Horse and Moulin Rouge is the size of the venue. Moulin Rouge is far less intimate with 850 seats.
The Palace of Versailles
If you have more than three days in Paris, I highly suggest heading out to the Palace of Versailles. One visit to the opulent Palace, and you will quickly understand why the French people revolted in 1797. The Palace of Versailles makes my list of not to miss highlights in and around Paris because the extravagance is evident from the moment you arrive. The first thing you will notice is the 10,000 gold leaves at the Palace gates that glisten in the morning light.
The sheer lavishness is on full display as you stroll through the Palace, walk through the hall of mirrors, wander the more than 2,000 acres of pristine gardens, and visit Marie Antoinette’s Hamlet and the Petit Trianon.
The Palace of Versailles is massive. Therefore, I highly suggest you have a game plan for your visit. There is so much to see and many ways to see the grounds.
Here are a few options for visiting the Palace of Versailles.
- A guided tour. A guided tour can help you can learn about the Palace, the Royal family, and their ultimate demise. We booked a group tour for our visit to Versailles. While I usually prefer a private tour, this group tour was enjoyable because our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, we were able to visit areas not accessible to the general public (such as the royal quarters), we did not have to wait in line (see illustration below), no more than 16 people can join this tour, and we had time to wander the gardens at our own pace. For less expensive a la carte tour options provided by the Palace (but no transportation), click here.
- Instead of a private or group tour, you can opt for an audio guide. To short cut your wait time at the audio desk, download the free mobile app on your phone that contains all the audio tours, an interactive map, and visitor information.
- There are several different bike tours available. Click here for a few options.
- You can purchase a ticket and walk around the Palace and the gardens without a formal tour or an audio guide. To view the ticket options, click here.
Two practical tips for visiting Versailles.
- Whether you are walking or biking, you will likely be at the Palace for several hours. I suggest you wear good walking shoes that are comfortable on uneven surfaces.
- If you are going to enjoy the grounds on your own, consider making a restaurant reservation in advance or pick up a few snacks and have a picnic while you enjoy the gardens. Click here for a guide to food and restaurant options at Versailles.
Loire Valley
If you have the time, I recommend you take a day trip out to the Loire Valley to see the castles along the banks of the Loire River. A day trip to the Loire Valley is about a 12-hour journey door to door. It’s a long day, but well worth the effort. By taking the train, you can see the French countryside along the way.
Once in the Loire Valley, there is no shortage of castles to view. My favorite castle is Château de Chambord, which dates back over 500 years. The day we spent in the Loire Valley was one of my favorite and most memorable parts of our Paris vacation. We went for a bike ride along the river and into the countryside, picked up provisions in the local town for lunch, went wine tasting, and had a picnic on the large grassy area in front of Château de Chambord.
There are a plethora of tours in the Loire Valley. These tours range from visiting a few castles to wine tasting, bike riding, and more!
Pick up a croissant or pastry and stroll through the streets of Paris
An iconic way to start your day in Paris is to stop for a freshly baked croissant and a cup of coffee. While it seems simple, a trip to Paris is not complete without this favorite Parisian pastime. I defiantly ate more than my fair share of croissants and pastries in Paris.
If you are in the 10th arrondissement, head to Du Pain et des Idées for a tasty treat and unique decor. The beveled mirrors date back to 1875, and hand-painted glass covers the ceiling. Try the chocolate pistachio escargot (there were no snails used or hurt in the making of this fantastic treat). It’s delicious.
Suggestions for places to stroll with your croissant.
While in the 10th arrondissement, take your pastry and head to the Canal St-Martin, where you can walk along the canal with other Parisians enjoying the day, browse the unique shops, or if you’re still hungry, stop in a café for lunch.
Alternatively, if you are looking for a different place to start your stroll, consider walking in the Saint-Germain area in the 6th arrondissement. Bars, cafes, art galleries, theatres, and shops line the streets. Here you will find famous Paris restaurants such as Cafe de Flore and Les Deux Magots.
Another option is to walk through the Latin Quarter, which in the 5th and 6th arrondissements near Notre Dame. While there, check out the famous Shakespeare and Company bookstore and have a meal in one of the ethnic restaurants that line the narrow cobblestone streets.
Try something new
There is an abundant amount of exciting tours and activities in Paris.
- See Paris in a sidecar on the Retro sidecar tour
- Take a bike tour around Paris.
- Try a cooking class
- Take a food tour
- Enjoy a walking tour of Paris.
The City of Lights has something for everyone.
Still need more ideas?
If you still have time, here are a few additional not to miss highlights in an around Paris.
- Check out the Palais de Tokyo contemporary avant-garde exhibitions or have a meal at Monsieur Blue.
- Take in an opera at the Palace Garnier.
- Visit Montparnasse Tower, where you get a panoramic view of the Eiffel Tower and other famous landmarks in Paris.
- Visit the Rodin Museum.
- See the inspiration for Claud Monet’s renowned painting of waterlily’s at Giverny Monet’s Garden.
- Visit Normandy.
- Go shopping in one of the most beautiful department stores in the world at Galeries Lafayette.
Leave some free time
It’s easy to overload your itinerary with too many things to see and do in Paris. Try to avoid scheduling every moment. Instead, set aside some “free time” to explore Paris without setting an agenda. Strolling the street of Paris with no set itinerary is one of my favorite memories and part of the reason I want to go back to Paris.
I hope you enjoy my list of not to miss highlights in and around Paris!

I just returned to Paris and had a fantastic time. I loved browsing through your gorgeous photos and remembering all these places. Loire Valley is new to me, I’ll try to visit it on my next trip.
So many helpful information and tips. I was in Paris for a few days in November and definitely will come back there again.
Thank you! I hope you had a good time!
My family is traveling to Paris in a week or so. So excited to visit so many places from your list.
Paris is such a vibrant city to visit. There are so many things to see and do here so thanks for sharing all of your tips!
Oh I love Paris! I have been there many times, but every time I get there I have to get to Montmartre! It is definitely my favourite place of the city. Also, I love Versailles ant its beautiful gardens, so incredible! Thank you for sharing this guide.
So many great things to do! Back in school I learned only about 3 of these attraction in Paris so lovely to know there is much more. Tanks for the extra tips for most places like all the steps to Catacombs, logistics can be something we miss when trying to plan a trip.
I am so happy you learned something new by reading this blog post!
Great recommendations! Sitting under the Eiffel Tower with a picnic and macarons is definitely my favorite thing to do in Paris! The first time I visited I was so excited to go to the Catacombs, but I got so freaked out by them! Your post is making me want to book a trip to Paris!!
Wonderful!
Paris has so many great attractions. We love to pick a few on each visit. We need to plan enough time to really explore the Louvre on a return trip. Some good tips to make this more approachable. And the Catacombs are still on the list of things we need to see. Lots of great reasons to return to Paris again and again.
You’re right! There are so many good reasons to visit Paris. I hope to go again one day soon too.
Great Info!
But also in Paris, you’ll see the Eiffel Tower, the most famous monument of Paris, and symbol of the French capital… although it hides many secrets!
Here I can add some more info about The Secrets of the Eiffel Tower!
Great Blog btw!
Thank you! I enjoyed reading about The Secrets of the Eiffel Tower. There is more to the Eiffel Tower than meets the eye.
Paris! Such a breathe-taking place! The photos really tell the story here. Thank you for all the great information that you packed in here. One of my greatest friends was a French teacher and I keep telling her that she has to take me to Paris soon!
Paris is one of my favorite places! I’m due for another trip soon and I can’t wait to visit all these places again. Especially the food and the fragrance shops.
Great tips and information to plan a trip to Paris! We were there in November for the first time and managed to see a lot of these, but definitely need to return someday to see more. We went to both Moulin Rouge and Crazy Horse, and I preferred Crazy Horse! Moulin Rouge was insanely touristy to the extent that it took away from the experience in my opinion.
