Visiting Paris can be very exciting and pretty overwhelming. With the tons of things this city has to offer, you can hardly know where to start and which places you’re not supposed to miss. Here are some sights and Paris attractions that you should never miss out on.

First off is the world-famous Eiffel Tower that is considered as the main landmark of Paris. It stands 300m high and can offer you a spectacular panoramic view of the entire city. Although you have to endure the long line going to the top, it is all worth it.

Another tourist attraction is the Notre Dame Cathedral. It is the first cathedral built on the city and paved the way for Paris to be regarded as the capital of France. It features an outstanding Gothic architecture, ornamented with large rose windows, stained glasses and innovative sculptures.

Any trip to Paris is not complete without paying a visit to The Louvre Museum that served as a fortress during the Middle Ages. At present, this museum houses the world-renowned painting by Leonardo Da Vinci – the Mona Lisa along with other impressive arts and antiques collected from all over the world. And because it actually takes months to complete a tour of everything in the museum, it is important to choose which to see first.

And for every shopaholic, it’s impossible to visit Paris without going to The Champs-Elysees Avenue, which features the most famous boutiques and automobile showrooms.

Tuileries Garden, the beautiful park located in the heart of Paris, is not to be missed as well. After a long day of sightseeing or shopping at Paris, this is a nice place to unwind. There are also coffee shops along the park that you can enjoy while viewing the park’s fountains and sculptures.

With all these heart-captivating attractions, you are sure to have a memorable vacation in the City of Lights.
