With so much to see and do in Paris, it can be overwhelming to plan a short trip. But with a little bit of planning and insider tips, you can make the most of your time in this wonderful city.
First things first, let's talk about where to stay.
If you want to be in the heart of everything, we recommend booking a hotel in the Marais district. This trendy neighbourhood is full of charming streets, cute boutiques, and delicious restaurants. You'll even be within walking distance of some of Paris' top attractions, including the Louvre Museum and Notre Dame Cathedral.
Unfortunately, the Notre Dame Cathedral is currently closed for renovations after a devastating fire that took place in 2019. However, it's expected to reopen in 2024, so keep that in mind when planning your trip
Now, onto the fun stuff.
If you're a fan of art and culture, you won't want to miss out on a trip to the Louvre Museum. Home to some of the world's most famous paintings, including the world famous Mona Lisa, the Louvre is a must-see for any art lover.
If you want to beat the crowds, it's best visiting early in the morning or later in the evening.
And don't forget to bring your camera - the Louvre's glass pyramid is Instagram-worthy.
After exploring the Louvre, take a leisurely stroll down the Champs-Elysées. This famous avenue is home to high-end shops, movie theaters, and the Arc de Triomphe.
If you're feeling peckish, you won't be stuck for places to eat. You'll find plenty of delicious restaurants and cafes along the way.
When evening rolls around, head over to the Eiffel Tower for a nice, romantic dinner at the 58 Tour Eiffel restaurant.
Located on the first level of the tower, this restaurant offers breathtaking views of the city and delicious French cuisine. However, it is more on the pricey end, but if you can afford to splash out it's worth it for the experience and of course a well deserve treat for yourself.
If you can't get a reservation, or you're looking for something a little more affordable don't worry - there are plenty of other great restaurants in Paris to choose from.
After dinner, make your way to the top of the Eiffel Tower for a breathtaking view of the city. If you're feeling brave, you can even walk up the stairs to the second level (just be prepared for a bit of a workout). Or, if you'd rather take it easy, you can take the elevator. Either way, the views from the top of the Eiffel Tower are not to be missed!
Finally, end your night with a stroll along the Seine River. This iconic river winds through the heart of Paris and is a great place to take a leisurely walk and soak up the city's atmosphere. Whether you're looking for a romantic evening or just want to enjoy the city's beautiful lights, the Seine River is the perfect place to end your day.
