Paris Attractions

Whether you are heading here for the first time or planning a return visit, we have gathered hundreds of Paris attractions in one place and designed dedicated walking routes.

We are travellers ourselves and know how much time trip planning takes – browsing dozens of websites, picking the most interesting sights, pinning them on Google Maps...

That is why we – Ever.Travel – created a mobile app: "Travel Planner & Guide" for iPhone and Android.

If you are short on time, the app will help you see the highlights by offering ready-made routes.

If you prefer to plan everything yourself, you can hand-pick the most interesting places from hundreds of attractions, arrange them into a route, and then use it as your personal Paris travel guide.

Read the detailed guide on how to plan your trip on iPhone or Android.

Top 10 Paris Attractions

1. Eiffel Tower. Built for the 1889 World's Fair, the "Iron Lady of Paris" was supposed to be dismantled after 20 years – yet it became one of the most recognisable structures on Earth.

2. Notre-Dame Cathedral. Notre-Dame de Paris is inseparable from the fictional tale of the hunchback and the beauty, yet it holds other – true and equally fascinating – legends of its own.

3. The Louvre was named the world's most visited museum in 2011. The undisputed jewel of its collection is the "Portrait of Mona Lisa" – La Gioconda.

4. Musée d'Orsay is famous for its rich collection of Impressionist paintings and for being housed in a former railway station.

5. Arc de Triomphe – a symbol of Napoleon I's grandeur and might that the emperor himself, ironically, never lived to see completed.

6. Montmartre – a magnet for artists from around the world. A unique atmosphere of freedom and creativity reigns here.

7. Les Invalides. This former home for war veterans – built, it should be said, on a rather imperial scale – today houses the collections of the Army Museum.

8. Versailles – a magnificent palace-and-park ensemble on the outskirts of Paris, and the eternal rival of Peterhof.

9. Champs-Élysées. The most tourist-packed avenue in the city – every step brings another monument, hotel, or chic boutique, and it goes on for nearly 2 kilometres :)

10. Disneyland Paris. It may lack historical significance, but it never fails to draw children and adults alike with the chance to step into a living fairy tale.
