Are you visiting Paris for the first time? Have you heard so much about the City of Light, and it’s been on your bucket list for a while? No worries! We’re here to share some tips on how to plan your trip and make the most of your time in Paris.
1. Visit the Iconic Landmarks
Paris is a city with a rich cultural heritage, and its landmarks tell the story of its history and grandeur. Whether it’s admiring the Eiffel Tower or hustling for a picture with the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, these experiences are a must. For the best experience, opt for skip-the-line tickets if you have the budget—this will save you time and allow you to enjoy the monuments without long waits, especially during the busy summer season. However, in the low season, you may be able to walk right in without much hassle. Be sure to research your season of travel; check out our blog post on The Best Time to Visit Paris for more insights.
2. Try French Food
Have you ever wondered what the hype around French food is about? Many travelers find that taste is subjective, but one thing is certain—French cuisine is world-renowned for a reason. Be sure to explore French gastronomy, and you’ll surely find something you love. You can check out our Restaurant Guide for recommendations or book a curated food tour to experience a well-selected array of artisanal foods that highlight the best of French cuisine. For wine and cheese lovers, we offer a Wine and Cheese Tour featuring expertly selected pairings that will impress even the most discerning palates.
3. Leave Paris!
Yes, we said it! Paris is an incredible city, and while you may be tempted to spend all of your time here, there’s so much more to see beyond its borders. France is home to medieval castles, stunning coastal beaches, and world-class ski resorts. Take a day trip or even a multi-day excursion to explore these incredible destinations.
