Taxis are the most convenient way to get from the airport, taking around 60 minutes to reach the city centre.

Tickets can be purchased at ticket booths in the arrivals terminal. Several different buses are also available outside the airport terminal, as are car rentals.

A metropolitan masterpiece, France’s capital is home to world class art, iconic architecture, and an array of Michelin star restaurants.

Start your trip with a visit to one of the most iconic buildings in the city - the Eiffel Tower. You can experience this marvellous structure from the ground level, or you can ascend to the top and see stunning views of the entire city.

Roam through the cobblestone streets of Paris and you’ll quickly discover why it’s nicknamed ‘The City of Love’. Wander down Parisian boulevards, such as the glamorous Champs-Élysées, and you’ll find countless boutiques and bookshops waiting to be explored. From there you can visit Paris’ fascinating history at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arc de Triomphe and climb the steps of the magnificent Sacré-Coeur in Montmartre.

For culture lovers and history buffs, Paris is one of the most fascinating cities you can visit. The Louvre and Musée d’Orsay museums hold some of the world’s most famous paintings from the Mona Lisa to Van Gogh’s self-portrait. If you want to explore some of Paris’ storied past, book a tour of the world famous catacombs. These underground ossuaries hold the remains of over 6 million people and are a section of the expansive subterranean network of the mines of Paris.

If you fancy a day trip, Paris is an extremely well connected city with transport links that can take you just about anywhere in France. We recommend heading to Versailles, which is only around 30 minutes away by train. The main attraction in Versailles is the spectacular Palace of Versailles. This opulent royal residence was constructed in 1623 and is decorated with gold and marble, historic paintings, and so much more. The Gardens of Versailles are just a stone’s throw away from the palace and are just as worth a visit, while the Royal Opera of Versailles, Versailles Cathedral, and Grand Trianon are other jaw-dropping destinations.
