2007-10-28 23:50:23 · 15 answers · asked by Rita K 1 in Travel ➔ France ➔ Paris
The Eiffel Tower - Great Views
Sacred Heart - Big White Church thing loads steps up front
- behind that is Monmartra where the cafes are - and street artists - this is a must! - you will want yourself sketched!
Notre Dame - where whats his name was! - and the gargoyles - there 365 steps to the top - of there to see em but its really good.
River trip up Seine is good.
Louvre - paintings you can see Mona Lisa there or could!
The Cafes are expensive - so take lots money!
At night there is a show place - cant think of name right now - but its famous where you can see Can Can - and Tiller Girls - really expensive but worth every penny.
Have a good trip

Well, there are all those classics, famous, very impressive over rated ones (that other users will mention i'm sure) but when I went this past summer, I had the most fun at down played cafes and bars. That's where the REAL Paris is.
...however I do encourage musuems. One always learns at least one thing and the French really know how to put on a good display. Especially the Lourve.
Amuse-toi!
(haha I just read the other users' comments. Yeah, beware of the airport, especially Charles De Gaulle--it's terrible! but you can escape the ..uh..not-so-fun-French but being in places tourists tend not to hang out at so much as I recommended :)

First of all, DO NOT DRIVE.
Buy a cheap map.
Catch the metro to the city centre, start off at Notre Dame, walk along the banks of the river to the Eiffel Tower, then on to the Arc de Triumph, a nice afternoons walk, especially on Sunday when a lot of the roads are pedestrianised.
Whilst walking along the bank you will see most of the museums and sights worth seeing.

The Louvre - plan a whole day for this.
The Eiffel Tower
All the great art galleries, try the Musee d'Orsay for the early Modernists and the Centre Pompidou for contemporary art.
Walk down the Champs Elysees.
Versailles.
A very helpful tip: learn a few words of French - bonjour madam/monsieur, s'il vous plait, merci, au revoir, and parlez-vous anglais. Don't assume automatically that they all speak English. A little linguistic effort on your part will go a long way.

I would visit Les Catacombes because it is definitely different. Other than that, I would just walk around and hang out at cafes. That is my way of visiting cities where I am for the first time.
If you want to see all the touristy sites, go to a postcard display. You'll see them all in less then 5 minutes.

I love Montmartre and the view from the top of Sacre Couer is wonderful
Also - find some time to sit on the smallest but coolest bridge over the seine - the Pont Des Artes - pedestrian only - take some wine and cheese and just sit there and take in the atmosphere - its wonderful.

Wow. a lot Amsterdam hate. obviously from those who in simple terms ever went to the pink gentle District. large FYI to all you morons, Amsterdam - and the Dutch commonly - is an extremely cultural position. distinct the worlds spectacular museums, orchestra's and paintings would nicely be chanced on contained in the city. it really is an awesome city that could want to be experienced. Paris is likely more suitable "significant" to visit, yet Amsterdam should be severe on your record in case you want an brilliant cultural journey.

I love all the touristy sites, but I also like just wandering through neighborhoods window shopping, which in French is called window licking (faire du leche-vitrine). I like the street markets, too, especially Rue Montorgueil.

You must go to the "sacré coeur" in montmontre
you can see Paris like no other place.
Just for exemple in the night :
