    Things to Do in Paris

    Paris — Thing to Do on ViaTravelers

    • Tourists and locals in front of Moulin Rouge in Amsterdam's Red Light District

      Moulin Rouge

      The can-can has been performed here since 1889. Dinner, champagne, sequins, feathers — the Moulin Rouge is unapologetically theatrical.

    • Elegant Renaissance marble bust in Florentine museum, showcasing lifelike detail and emotional expression.

      Musée de l’Homme

      Step into the intricate tapestry of human civilization at Musée de l’Homme. Uncover authentic global traditions and thought-provoking exhibits. Experience a profound journey through our shared heritage.

    • Les Deux Magots

      Les Deux Magots

      Hemingway wrote here. Sartre argued here. Yes, it’s touristy — the terrace coffee still costs what it costs, and it’s still worth it.

    • Tour Saint-Jacques amid quaint Parisian streetscape

      Saint Jacques

      Tour Saint-Jacques is all that survived the Revolution. A 52-meter Gothic tower where pilgrims once set off for Santiago de Compostela.

    • Flag of France on the Top of Musée de l'Armée

      Musée de l’Armée

      Napoleon’s tomb alone justifies the entry fee — but the medieval armor halls upstairs are what most visitors walk past too fast.

    • Couven Museum, Aachen, Germany

      Musée d’Ennery

      Musée d’Ennery is one of Paris’s most personal collections — a private obsession made public, frozen in the 1880s.

    • Historic entrance of Shakespeare and Company bookstore in Paris, showcasing its antiquarian charm

      Shakespeare And Co

      Shakespeare and Co lets writers sleep among the shelves in exchange for a book a day. That detail alone tells you what kind of place this is.

    • Pont Neuf at Night in Paris, France

      Pont Neuf

      Paris calls it the New Bridge. It’s actually the oldest — and the views from its bastions beat most paid Seine experiences.

    • Facade of musée picasso

      Musée Picasso

      The Hôtel Salé alone justifies the visit — but 5,000 works inside a 17th-century Marais mansion makes it one of Paris’s most rewarding afternoons.

    • Passerelle de l'Avre bridge paris

      Passerelle De L Avre

      Built under Eiffel’s guidance, this 15th arrondissement bridge-aqueduct quietly delivers one of Paris’ least-crowded Eiffel Tower sightlines.

    • Glass Monument In Front of Louvre Museum at Night

      The Louvre Museum

      35,000 works across 72,735 square meters — the Louvre requires a plan, not a wander. Pick two wings and own them.

    • Visitors and Interior of Musée d'Orsay

      Musée d’Orsay

      Start on the 5th floor — that’s where the Monets and Van Goghs live. The clock windows over the Seine are worth the trip alone.

    • Bookshelfs in the Hotel Room at Pulitzer Amsterdam

      Starfield Library

      50,000 books stacked two stories high inside a shopping mall — Starfield Library is the most Seoul thing I’ve ever seen.

    • The Louvre Museum from the Tuileries Garden, Paris

      Musée de l’Orangerie

      The oval rooms were built for these paintings — Monet designed them himself. Go early, before the tour groups arrive.

    • Seine River Cruise

      Skip the premium dinner cruise — a €15 Vedettes ticket gets you the same Eiffel Tower views without the mediocre food.

    • Arc de Triomphe in Paris at sunset with vibrant sky

      Arc de Triomphe

      Beneath the Arc’s sculpted friezes lies a museum, whispering tales of Napoleon’s era through interactive displays. Ascend its 284 steps for a panoramic view that unfolds the city’s tapestry, but mind the climb—it’s not for the faint-hearted.
