3 Attractions to See During Your Paris Vacation

December 18, 2013 by greystar

Paris, the capital of France, has been called many things from "The City of Love" to "The City of Lights". With so much to see and do, it's easy to see why Paris is such a popular travel destination. When planning your trip, make sure you put these three top attractions on your to-do list.

Eiffel Tower
This iconic Paris landmark is a sight to see in person. You may have to pay to get to the top, but the views are worth it. Order tickets online to skip the long lines. Visit in the evening to see the tower illuminated by thousands of flickering lights.

The Louvre
You can spend days wandering through the world's largest art museum. You probably don't have that kind of time, but it's still worth checking out this fantastic museum filled with classic works of art, like the Mona Lisa. Plan to spend at least half a day here — a whole day if you're an avid art fan.

Notre-Dame Cathedral
This impressive building was originally built in 1163. It was made popular by writer Victor Hugo. The surge of popularity from the book inspired renovations to restore the cathedral. Admission is free, but if you'd like to get to the top, you have to pay a small price.
