Top Things to See in Paris
The French capital's must-sees, brought to life right where you stand.
Paris is home to some of the most iconic landmarks in the world. The Eiffel Tower dominates the skyline, the Louvre holds centuries of art, and Notre-Dame, standing on the banks of the Seine, remains the historic heart of the city. Walking the grand axis from the Champs-Élysées to the Arc de Triomphe is another unmissable classic.
But Paris is also Montmartre and the Sacré-Cœur, the lively atmosphere of Le Marais, the bouquinistes' stalls along the riverbanks, and the peaceful gardens of Luxembourg and the Tuileries. Knowing what to see — and how to connect the dots neighborhood by neighborhood — makes it easy to get the most out of every day without feeling overwhelmed.

What are the absolute must-sees in Paris?
The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre-Dame and the Île de la Cité, the Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe, and the Montmartre neighborhood with the Sacré-Cœur. A walk along the banks of the Seine ties almost all of them together.
How many days do you need to see Paris?
Three days is a solid amount of time for the highlights. With four or five, you can spend more time in the museums and explore neighborhoods like Le Marais or the Latin Quarter.
Can you see Paris on foot?
Absolutely. The city center is very walkable, and it's the best way to soak up the character of each neighborhood. The metro is useful for covering longer distances.
Where's the best place to start a visit to Paris?
The Île de la Cité, with Notre-Dame, is a great starting point — it sits at the geographical center of Paris and puts both banks of the Seine within easy walking distance.
Do you need to book tickets for the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre?
Yes, it's strongly recommended to book in advance to avoid long queues. The audio tour guides you around these landmarks and tells their story from the outside and the surrounding areas.
