Paris

Paris is a city for walking. To avoid queues, book the big museums with a time slot and leave room in your itinerary for neighbourhoods and the banks of the Seine.

Museums with a booked time

The Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay attract huge numbers of visitors. Book a timed ticket and check the weekly closing day before planning.

Sainte-Chapelle and Notre-Dame

Sainte-Chapelle is famous for its stained glass. Notre-Dame cathedral has reopened after restoration works; check how to book your visit.

The Marais and Montmartre

The Marais mixes history, galleries and cafés; Montmartre offers views and charming streets. Go early to enjoy them calmly.
