Paris, the city of light, love, romance, culture and art
When discussing European cities that simply must be seen, Paris is always at the very top of the list.
The City of Light, love, romance, culture and art. Thanks to low-budget airlines, this city is now closer and more accessible than ever.
Paris is a centar of events—it hosts numerous conferences, economic forums, fashion shows and film events. No matter when you visit ,you are almost guaranteed to come across an interesting event. One place you should not miss is the historic district of Montmartre. With good French wine, cobblestone streets, coffee, grapes and street art exhibitions, it quickly becomes clear why so many artists once lived and created here—most famous Pablo Picasso.
One of the main tourist attractions and the ultimate symbol of Paris is the Eiffel Tower. Today, visitors can climb to the top via stairs or take an elevator and enjoy a completely different view of the city from a height of 276 meters.
Paris is also home to the world’s largest museum—the Louvre. This monumental classical building stretches for nearly one kilometer between the Seine River and Rue de Rivoli. Its history as a museum began after the execution of Marie Antoinette, when revolutionary leaders decided that the royal collection should be made accessible to the public. The museum houses approximately 400,000 items, of which about 35,000 are on display.
Be sure to set aside a few hours to visit Notre-Dame Cathedral and stroll through the romantic streets surrounding it. Don’t forget to try one of the best ice creams in Paris at Amorino Arcole, located on a street just next to Notre-Dame.
For shopping enthusiasts, Galeries Lafayette is a must-visit—a large department store where you can find pieces from the world’s most famous fashion brands.
