Paris sightseeing

Paris is a breath taking city, so give it as much time as you can, and be prepared for a unique holiday. A very useful thing is to purchase the Paris Museum Pass, a pre-paid entry card that allows entry into over 70 museums and monuments around Paris. With this card you can skip long queues and enjoy great exhibitions. Some museums/galleries are closed on Monday or Tuesday!

Another good deal is getting a Paris Pass, providing entry to 60 attractions including as well as a river cruise, open decked bus tour, and allows free metro & public transport travel. National Museums have free entry every first Sunday of the month!

One of the most famous landmarks in the world is the Eiffel Tower, a “must see” if you go to Paris. The panoramic view when you reach the top will be worth the time that you had to wait in a queue in order to get a ticket. The most eye-catching sight, Notre Dame cathedral in Paris

the Catacombs, awaits it visitors with a morbid and murkily dark atmosphere. If you are already in a gloomy mood, you can also visit the Père-Lachaise Cemetery where you can find the grave of Jim Morrison.

In Paris you can find some of the most magnificent cathedrals. Check out the Notre Dame Cathedral, an impressive Gothic cathedral that was the inspiration for Victor Hugo's novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Placed on the highest point in Paris, Sacre Coeur is absolutely gorgeous. Some say it is far more beautiful than the Notre Dame, the Sainte Chapelle is worthy of a visit especially on a sunny day, due to its large gothic windows it offers a spectacle of colors on the floor. The magnificent home and gardens of the Sun King Louis XIV, Chateau Versailles, will certainly leave you speechless.

The Pantheon, providing a great view of the city, the Arc de Triomphe and the Grand Arche de la Defense are all places that make your visit worth while. As we all know, Paris has tones of galleries and museum. The most prominent being The Louvre, one of the best museums when it comes to art and culture. Do wear comfortable shoes as you are into quite lot of walking in this gigantic museum. Further on the Picasso Museum, the Rodin Museum, Delacroix National museum and the Centre Georges Pompidou, where the building is already worth it, are all an insights to different art periods and great artists.
