Paris is one my favorite places in the world, and I love to revisit and explore more of what the city of love has to over. This is a guide to the best attractions and things to do in Paris, especially for first-timers.

I highly recommend taking the trip up to the top of the Eiffel tower. You really get to see the entire city and landmarks from afar – it's really cool
Eiffel Tower
Technically not in Paris, but this is the perfect half day trip since it's not too far
Palace of Versailles
My favorite neighborhood in Paris. It's filled with trendy restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and is known for its authentic Parisien vibe
Le Marais
Book your tickets in advance to avoid the lines. Also, give yourself half a day to really take it in
Louvre Museum
A large landmark that you can climb up
Arc de Triomphe
It has finally reopened in 2024
Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris
An aesthetic art museum with works from some of the most famous and talented artists
Musée d'Orsay
I came here for a French opera and highly recommend it
Palais Garnier
A famous bookstore in Paris
Shakespeare and Company
A famous shopping street/area
Champs-Élysées
Another famous art museum worth checking out
Musée de l'Orangerie
A beautiful garden that I enjoy relaxing at
Jardin du Luxembourg
A famous landmark in Montmartre
Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre
This isn't for everyone, but provides an interesting (and dark) perspective on the city

One of my favorite neighborhoods in the city. Very pretty
