Planning a trip to the City of Light? Here are the top 3 things to do in Paris – all easily explored with the help of the Paris For You app.
1. Visit the Iconic Landmarks
Paris, often referred to as “The City of Light,” is brimming with attractions and experiences. No trip is complete without a visit to its most iconic monument: the Eiffel Tower. Whether you admire it from below, enjoy a picnic at Champ de Mars, or ascend to its summit for breathtaking views over the city, the Eiffel Tower never fails to impress. For a special treat, consider dining at one of the tower’s restaurants – an unforgettable experience both for your palate and your eyes.
Another unmissable stop is the Louvre Museum, the largest art museum in the world and home to masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. Whether you’re an art lover or a curious traveler, the Louvre’s vast and diverse collections offer something for everyone.
Equally impressive is the Arc de Triomphe, a monument that honors those who fought for France and offers one of the best panoramic views in the city. Climb to the top to see the twelve radiating avenues, including the famous Champs-Élysées.
No list of iconic sites would be complete without Notre-Dame Cathedral – a masterpiece of Gothic architecture currently under restoration. Even from the outside, its intricate facade and majestic towers are a must-see.
With the Paris For You app, you can access offline maps and rich landmark guides (both text and audio), helping you plan and navigate your visits efficiently.
2. Discover Gems Off the Tourist Path
While Paris’ famous landmarks are a must-see, the city’s real charm often lies in its lesser-known corners. Begin with a stroll through Montmartre, the bohemian neighborhood once home to Picasso and Dalí. Climb the steps to the stunning Sacré-Cœur Basilica for panoramic city views, then meander through cobblestone streets filled with street performers, artists, and cozy cafés.
Don’t miss colorful hidden spots like Rue Crémieux, a pastel-toned residential street that feels like stepping into a film set. Take a walk along Canal Saint-Martin, where locals gather for picnics and wine by the water. Enjoy a classic coffee break at Café de Flore or Cafe des Deux Magots – iconic spots loved by locals and visitors alike. The Paris For You app highlights these locations and more, so you can explore Paris like a local.
3. Enjoy a River Cruise on the Seine
One of the most relaxing and romantic ways to see Paris is from the water. A Seine River cruise offers a unique perspective on the city’s architecture and landmarks, including the Pont Alexandre III, Musée d’Orsay, and the illuminated Eiffel Tower by night.
Choose from sightseeing tours, gourmet dinner cruises, or hop-on-hop-off boat rides like the Batobus, which allows you to explore the city at your own pace. With the Paris For You app, you can locate nearby piers, read about each bridge and building you float past, and even listen to audio commentary as you cruise.
