City Guide Paris, France

Paris

Paris is definitely a great city to visit. It has a lot to offer in culture, history, sight-seeing, entertainment, shopping, romance, diverse food, etc. The city is indeed quite expensive, but you can easily stay on budget if you are flexible. If you'd really like to see the highlights of Paris and to take your time for it, make 5 days off to do so.

Insider Tip:One weekend is actually not enough for Paris. 5 days are exactly enough to discover the great highlights of Paris and to really take your time see all of them. Obtain the Paris Visite Pass, which is very handy for public transportation.

this time it disappointed me

quite large and VERY inconvenient. Food and touristic spots are all relatively expensive. not so clean or orderly as Germany. It seems that people had better not visit this city twice

Did not meet expectations

Granted, we were only there for 1 day and 1 night, but I think the city is very overrated. It isn't particularly clean, smelled bad in a lot of areas, and the sights were nothing to rave about. I was actually pretty disappointed with the Eiffel Tower and how the area around it wasn't pretty and there wasn't a great area to take pictures given the awkward angle. I will say that the people of Paris were incredibly friendly!

Insider Tip:Visit Montmartre area, very beautiful and full of culture!

Paris--Not too crazy about it..

Paris was lovely at times. But my experience wasn't the best of them. We had seen Paris like 3 times, having lived an hour train ride outside the city in Rouen. Some things were a bit underwhelming and very touristy. Hard time finding the natural charm in the city. I might recommend getting lost a bit in its streets and staying off the beaten path to find a truer Parisian experience.

Paris. City of Love?!?

I can definetly definetly say I never seen a place before overrated like this. Everywhere is very dirty. People spit on streets. But beside all of these still you must see this city just because of Orsay and Louvre. Forget the Eiffel Tower this is just a junk of metals. But Louvre and Orsay they are amazing. There are too much thing to see. If I go to Paris again someday it will be just because of its museums.
