Discover How Many DaysParis, the City of Lights, is a dream destination with its iconic landmarks, charming streets, and world-class cuisine. To fully experience Paris, we recommend spending 4–6 days.
With 4–6 days, you can visit the Eiffel Tower, explore the Louvre Museum, stroll along the Champs-Élysées, and take a day trip to Versailles. This gives you enough time to immerse yourself in the city’s culture and history.
Here’s a suggested itinerary for 4–6 days in Paris. Days 1–4 cover the essentials, while Days 5–6 are perfect for an extended stay.
Arrive in Paris, check into your accommodation, and take a leisurely stroll along the Seine River. Visit Notre-Dame Cathedral and enjoy a coffee at a local café.
Visit the Eiffel Tower in the morning, then head to the Arc de Triomphe and walk down the Champs-Élysées. End your day with a sunset cruise on the Seine.
Spend the day at the Louvre Museum, followed by a visit to the Musée d’Orsay. In the evening, explore the Montmartre district and visit the Sacré-Cœur Basilica.
Take a day trip to the Palace of Versailles. Explore the palace, gardens, and the Trianon estates. Return to Paris in the evening for dinner in the Latin Quarter.
Discover hidden gems like the Marais district, visit the Picasso Museum, and enjoy a picnic in the Luxembourg Gardens. End your day with a visit to a local patisserie.
Spend your final day shopping at Galeries Lafayette, visiting the Palais Garnier, or relaxing in a park. Depart from Paris with unforgettable memories.
The Paris Metro is the most efficient way to get around. Buy a 10-ticket ‘carnet’ to save money, or consider a Paris Visite pass for unlimited travel.
Spring (April to June) and fall (September to October) are the best times to visit Paris, with mild weather and fewer crowds. Summer is peak season, so expect larger crowds and higher prices.
Be mindful of pickpockets, especially in crowded tourist areas like the Metro and near the Eiffel Tower. Keep your belongings secure and avoid scams like fake petitions.
