City Breaks in Paris: Top Accommodations
Top 5 Things to See: 48hrs in Paris
Affectionately known as the City of Lights, Paris delivers history, culture and, of course, romance. Discover something to entrance you whether it's a moonlight stroll along the River Seine, a panoramic view of the city from the Eiffel Tower or admiring da Vinci's Mona Lisa in the Louvre or the works of Monet in the d'Orsay Museum. Read on for our top five things to see on a weekend trip in Paris.
1. The Eiffel Tower
Built as a temporary structure but still here, its iconic outline is visible for miles and, certainly for first-timers, is a must-do attraction. Tip: book tickets online in advance.
2. The Louvre
Housed in the grandeur of the former Royal Palace, the Louvre is the world's largest gallery. There are hundreds of rooms so when time is short head to the Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory, and the Venus de Milo. Again, book tickets in advance.
3. Montmartre
Wander hilly cobbled lanes admiring street artists at work before visiting the Sacre-Coeur Basilica perched on the city's highest hill.
4. The Atelier des Lumieres
Located in the 11th arrondissement, this digital art museum is somewhere a little different. Go on an interactive trip through the world of famous artists such as Vincent Van Gogh and their works.
5. The Champs Elysee
Take a stroll along one of the most recognizable streets in the world. Window-shop your favorite designer names, pop into Laduree for macarons then, finish your walk with a climb to the top of the Arc de Triomphe.
