Editor's plan3 Days in ParisBest for first-time visitors · €80–140 per person per day

Three days in Paris: one for the Louvre and the Right Bank, one for the islands, the Latin Quarter and the Marais, one for Montmartre and the Eiffel Tower at dusk. Book the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower ahead — both are timed-entry and both sell out. Paris is a walking city with an excellent metro for when your feet give up.

  1. 1The Right Bank — Louvre, Tuileries, OpéraThe Louvre · Rue Saint-Honoré or Palais-Royal · Tuileries, Place de la Concorde, Champs-Élysées · Arc de Triomphe rooftop
  2. 2The islands, the Latin Quarter and Le MaraisSainte-Chapelle · Notre-Dame and Île Saint-Louis · The Latin Quarter · Panthéon, Luxembourg Gardens, Shakespeare and Company
  3. 3Montmartre, Orsay and the Eiffel TowerMontmartre before 9am · Musée d'Orsay · Saint-Germain-des-Prés · Rodin Museum or Les Invalides
