From iconic landmarks to charming cafés, discover a perfect whirlwind itinerary to soak in the romance and culture of the City of Lights.
Paris is probably
one of the most visited cities in the world. It has everything, from rich history to a thriving art community. However, it is impossible to see everything the City of Light has to offer even if you are visiting for a week. While you may not get a chance to see and experience it all, here are a few things you simply must do when you are in Paris even if you only have a day to explore it.
Eiffel Tower
No trip to Paris would be complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. You can get some spectacular views of one of the world?s most beautiful cities from even the third floor of the tower. Make sure to pack your camera to capture some stunning views of the place.
Check out modern artworks at the Centre Pompidou
If you love all things art, take some time to check out the Centre Pompidou. You can get a look at artworks by Picasso, Warhol, Tinguely, Duchamp, Pollock, and Magritte. Make sure you carve out enough time to explore this place, especially the top floor.
Get lost in Marché Couvert des Enfants Rouges
This food market is worth checking out for more reasons than one. This Parisian market’s name comes from the Red Children orphanage, which was built in the 16th century. It had closed down just before the revolution. The market is also in an iconic building. All kinds of food stalls offer a variety of goodies, from Moroccan cuisine to Italian. This is a place foodies will thoroughly enjoy.
Take a tour of the Louvre
You can spend hours at the Louvre exploring all kinds of art. It houses treasures from civilizations that include the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. You will also find some of the best art and artefact collections that you probably won’t get to see anywhere else. While you may not get to see all it has to offer if you are short on time, make sure to plan ahead of time so you get to see things that pique your interest.
