Upon your arrival in Paris

The most convenient way to get downtown from the airport is by taxi as it takes approximately an hour. Alternatively, the RER B train will transport you to the city centre in around 50 minutes.

A brief introduction to Paris

A city that emanates romance and culture, Paris is a feast for the eyes as it is home to iconic landmarks, magnificent architecture, and breathtaking art.

We recommend starting your trip with a visit to the unmissable Eiffel Tower. While here, be sure to venture up to the top of the tower for sensational panoramic views of the entire city. Afterwards, enjoy a picnic at the foot of the tower and soak in the picturesque surroundings.

To immerse yourself in the city’s romantic vibe, head to the neighbourhood of Montmartre and explore its cobblestone streets, charming boutiques, and quaint local bookstores.

Many of the world’s most notable paintings are on show in the world class art museums in Paris. Be sure to visit the Louvre and Musée d’Orsay as you will find renowned masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa and Van Gogh’s Self Portrait.

Paris is also a haven for food lovers as bistros and fine dining restaurants can be found around every corner. No trip to the ‘City of Lights’ would be complete without sampling the delightful delicacies at one of the many top-rated restaurants - 10 of which have been awarded 3 Michelin stars.

There are plenty of options for those looking to take a day trip, with the picturesque village of Giverny being one of the most sought-after destinations as it is just a short distance from Paris - approximately an hour away. Known for being the place where masterful impressionist painter Claude Monet lived from 1883 to 1926, Giverny is awash in beauty and nature. We recommend visiting Monet’s Garden, which he brought to life in his heralded paintings and taking a stroll around the majestic water garden and exquisite Japanese bridge.
