About This Guide

Best Things To Do In Paris was built on a simple idea: Paris deserves better than the same ten blog posts endlessly recycled across the internet.

There's no shortage of Paris content. There's a serious shortage of Paris content that tells you where locals actually eat, which arrondissement suits your trip, why you should go to Sainte-Chapelle before Notre-Dame, and what the Louvre is actually like at 4pm on a Friday evening (quieter than you'd think, and extraordinary). That's what we write.

How We Make Recommendations

Opinionated, specific, and honest. We'll tell you the Mona Lisa is smaller than you expect and surrounded by phones — and then tell you exactly which room has better paintings with no crowd. That's the guide we wish existed when we first visited.

How We Make Money

Affiliate commissions when you book through our links (GetYourGuide, Viator, Booking.com). No change to your price. Read our full disclosure.

Planning a Paris trip?

Our 2 Days In Paris itinerary covers the essential Paris in the right order. Book the Eiffel Tower and Louvre well ahead — both sell out weeks in advance in summer.
