Reviews from Real Guests:

Trip.com User: To see Paris at a glance, you need to climb to the very top of the Eiffel Tower. Climbing the tower was my dream and now it came true. On the second day of our stay in Paris, we first went to the Eiffel Tower. Walked from the hotel, admiring the beauty of Parisian palaces, buildings, bridges and parks. The Eiffel Tower is the heart of Paris! Despite the fact that we constantly see her image in our everyday life and are already used to it, but the "live" Eiffel Tower does not cease to amaze with its beauty and grandeur ...

Quinissa: The icon of Paris! Make sure you see the tower when you come to Paris. It is really magnificent, the height, the details. Also, make sure you see it at night time as well, when the lights up. IT IS EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL. If you wait until midnight, there will be lights twinkling right at 00.00. The best view point is high up across the river. There will be some musicisans playing at nights too there, making it more romantic.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Trip.com User: The best experience ever! The Museum is well-kept both inside and out. If you're traveling for the first time, it's understandably complicated, but don't forget to pick up the maps provided in the lounge area. It is free for students and anyone under the age of 25 from the EU. One of the world's most prestigious museums. Thousands of paintings and sculptures from French, Greek, Spanish, Italian, and other cultures are housed at this museum. When visiting, make sure to dress comfortably and wear comfortable shoes because there will be a lot of walking.

Trip.com User: We visited Louvre as a family, tickets we bought online from the museum's website. We recommend not to use the entrance at the pyramid but to enter underground via the subway station, in our case it significantly reduced waiting time. The museum is amazing, however, the room of the Mona Lisa is very crowded. If you have little kids, take the special family lane. It allows you to directly skip the crowds and take a photograph of the painting with your family.

From March to May is spring in Paris, with its flowers in full bloom and abounding in romantic vibes. The weather turns warmer and is not humid during the summer which lasts from June to August. This is also the peak tourist season. Come July and August, the river banks would be overlaid with sand and resembling a beach. July also happens to be the shopping season whereby every shopping area would be giving huge discounts on their merchandise. The weather starts to turn colder during the autumn from September to November so do remember to bring some warmer clothing. Winter in Paris is really cold, and there is a big temperature difference between indoors and outdoors; you must bring winter garb. You could soak in the atmosphere at the many fairs and events prior to Christmas.
