Paris is the kind of place that lives up to the hype. With its dreamy boulevards, world-famous landmarks, buzzing cafés, and that irresistible romantic energy, it’s a city that stays with you long after you leave. Whether you're catching your first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower, wandering the backstreets of Montmartre, or hunting down the best pain au chocolat, Paris is packed with iconic moments and unexpected surprises.
Eiffel Tower – The View You Came For
No trip to Paris is complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. Whether you go all the way up or just picnic beneath it, this iron icon is always photo-ready, especially at night when it sparkles every hour on the hour.
Louvre Museum – A Culture Hit
Get up close with the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and thousands of years of history at the world’s most visited museum. Pro tip: go early or book ahead to beat the crowds.
Montmartre – Bohemian Vibes & City Views
Wander the hilly streets of Montmartre and feel the creative energy that once inspired Picasso and Dali. Head to the Sacré-Cœur for epic views over the rooftops of Paris.
Seine River Cruise – See It All From the Water
Hop on a boat and see Paris from a different angle. Drift past Notre-Dame, the Musée d’Orsay, and the Eiffel Tower, all while kicking back with a glass of French wine (optional, but recommended).
Le Marais – Food, Fashion & Hidden Gems
One of Paris’s coolest neighbourhoods, Le Marais is where old-world charm meets modern style. Expect vintage shops, falafel stands, indie boutiques, and quiet courtyards.
Versailles – A Royal Day Trip
Just outside the city, the Palace of Versailles is all about grandeur, gold, gardens, and mirrors for days. It’s an easy day trip and well worth the train ride.
