Affectionately nicknamed the ‘City of Lights’, Paris is a glamorous metropolitan hub brimming with world class art, breathtaking architecture, and numerous Michelin Star restaurants.

Begin your journey with the quintessential Paris experience - visiting the iconic Eiffel Tower. The tower has three levels open to the public, each with a different view of the city. The first level features a glass floor, providing visitors with a breathtaking view of the ground below. The second level features an outdoor viewing platform, ideal for admiring the city's beauty. The top level, also known as the summit, provides the best views and can be accessed via lift or stairs. In addition to the viewing platforms, the Eiffel Tower features two restaurants, the 58 Tour Eiffel and the Michelin-starred Jules Verne, as well as a champagne bar.

Art lovers will appreciate Paris’ many world renowned art museums and the famous paintings showcased there. Be sure to visit the Louvre Museum as it provides insight into Paris's history. The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace, a former royal residence, and contains an impressive collection of art from ancient civilizations to the nineteenth century. The museum also provides guided tours and audio guides, making it easier for visitors to navigate the extensive collection. In addition to the art, the Louvre offers a restaurant, café, and gift shop for visitors.

To immerse yourself in the city’s cultural side, pay a visit to the Palais Garnier, where you can watch outstanding opera, ballet and chamber music performances.

We also recommend roaming through Paris’ cobblestone streets as you will quickly discover why the French capital is nicknamed ‘The City of Love’. Stroll down quaint Parisian boulevards, such as the glamorous Champs-Élysées, and you will find numerous boutiques and bookshops waiting to be explored. From there, you can delve into Paris’ fascinating history by visiting the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arc de Triomphe and climbing the steps of the spectacular Sacré-Coeur in Montmartre.

As the country’s capital, Paris is extremely well connected with nearby cities. If you want a fun day trip, there’s nowhere better to head than Versailles, which is only about an hour on the train away.
