TRAVEL GUIDES & TIPS
Top 20 Things to Do in Paris
Build a Paris trip around a few places you really want to see, then leave room for its streets, parks and riverside walks. These twenty ideas combine major landmarks with quieter corners. They are planning suggestions; opening hours, access rules and ticket availability can change.
Start with the landmarks
1. See the Eiffel Tower from the Champ de Mars or the opposite bank. If you want to go up, choose the level and access option that suits you. 2. Explore the Louvre, selecting a small number of collections rather than trying to see everything in one visit.
3. Walk around Notre-Dame and the Île de la Cité; check current cathedral access before visiting. 4. See the Arc de Triomphe and the streets around the Champs-Élysées. A landmark visit and a neighborhood walk make a more relaxed combination than several timed entries in a row.
Make time for art and history
5. Explore the Musée d’Orsay for a different museum setting beside the Seine. 6. Visit the Musée de l’Orangerie and combine it with time in the Tuileries. 7. Look into the Musée Rodin if sculpture interests you. 8. Consider Sainte-Chapelle for its stained glass.
Choose museums by your interests and check what each ticket includes. A ticket for one venue does not automatically include another, and temporary exhibitions may have separate conditions. Leave time for security checks and the journey between places.
Discover the neighborhoods
9. Walk through Montmartre and the area around Sacré-Cœur. 10. Explore the Marais on foot. 11. Wander the Latin Quarter. 12. Spend time around Saint-Germain-des-Prés. These are useful alternatives to another indoor visit when you want a slower afternoon.
Paris is more enjoyable when you group nearby stops. Streets around popular monuments can be busy, so choose a meeting point before separating from your travel companions and keep essential belongings secure.
Enjoy the city outdoors
13. Walk beside the Seine. 14. Relax in the Luxembourg Gardens. 15. Stroll through the Tuileries. 16. Explore the Canal Saint-Martin area. Weather and seasonal conditions can affect your plans, so keep one indoor alternative available.
A river cruise can offer another view of the city, but compare departure points, duration and included services before selecting a product. Boats, walks and museum visits are different experiences with different accessibility arrangements.
Add something personal
17. Visit a food market and choose a relaxed meal nearby. 18. Try a guided neighborhood walk. 19. Explore covered passages and independent shops. 20. Consider a separate day for Versailles if it fits your interests and schedule.
Versailles is outside central Paris: plan the journey and check the exact areas included in your ticket. For any attraction, use current product information and official visitor guidance. Select your date, time and ticket options on Eventuza, then complete payment at Tiqets checkout.
