Paris…the city of light, romance and culture
is much more than what you have read in the books or what you expect it to be.
With the urban and posh lifestyle blending in harmony with centuries old
culture, Paris trips brings you an experience that will enthrall and awe you.
Whether it’s a walking tour to Versailles
Palace and Gardens, a riverside scene that takes in the Notre-Dame Cathedral, Eiffel
Tower, and Seine, or the a panoramic view of the city from a hotel window, it doesn't take a lot to convince someone that Paris is one of the world’s most
picturesque cities.
The best time to visit Paris is during
summer when the longer days make it easy to stretch your sightseeing. Winter
can be chilly and dark, but you may get good deals on airfare during this time.
If you are planning a trip to this beautiful
French capital for your honeymoon, a family holiday or a business visit, here
are some important Paris travel tips that will come handy:
The city is served by three main airports
namely Orly International Airport, Charles de Gaulle International Airport, and
the Beauvais. There are airport shuttles available outside to take you to your
desired location. Although there is no central station in Paris, there are six
different stations connecting the city with the rest of Europe.
Paris is best explored on foot as it
gives you the pleasure of admiring the beautiful French architectural
structures and move about at your own pace. You may opt for the guided walking
tours available or grab a map and simply follow your heart. Other modes of
transportation to get around the city are buses, taxis, rental cars, metro and
bicycles.
The most convenient way to see the
various tourist attractions spread across Paris is to take the Paris Museum
Pass that allows you entry to more than 70 museums and monuments located in the
city.
Besides the museums, some of the other
sights worth including in your itinerary are Arc de Triomphe, The Eiffel Tower,
Notre Dame Cathedral, Opera Garnier, Père-Lachaise Cemetery, Sainte Chapelle,
and Opera Garnier.
When the sun sets, Paris comes alive with
thousands of lights illuminating the city and people flocking to the bars,
nightclubs and theatre to watch the spectacular evening shows. The
world-renowned Moulin Rouge is a must-watch and the number one show in Paris. It
is rightly said that you haven’t seen Paris until you see it at night when the
Parisians show their real bonhomie side.
