Paris, the capital of France, is one of the world’s most beloved destinations, renowned for its art, architecture, fashion, and romance along the banks of the Seine. The iconic Eiffel Tower anchors the skyline, while the Louvre, the world’s largest and most visited museum, holds masterpieces from the Mona Lisa to the Venus de Milo.
Visitors stroll the Champs-Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe, admire the Gothic Notre-Dame cathedral, explore the artistic hilltop of Montmartre with its Sacre-Coeur basilica, and relax in the Tuileries Garden. World-class cafes, patisseries, and bistros complete the experience.
The best time to visit is late spring (May to June) or early autumn (September to October), with pleasant weather and thinner crowds than peak summer; a new addition for 2026 is summer swimming in the cleaned-up River Seine.
