Despite being in the middle of a gigantic city, Montmartre is an oasis of cobblestone streets that feels oddly cut off and separate from the rest of Paris. And we mean that in the best possible way. It feels more similar to a charming town from a fairytale than it does a neighborhood in France’s biggest city.If you are not that interested in monuments, pay a visit to Place de la Contrescarpe instead. This lively square may be touristy, but it’s also beautiful, bustling, and worth stopping by during your Paris one-day trip. The point is, this area is super central to basically everything you’ll want to visit during your time in Paris, though it’s not immediately adjacent to any one main attraction.

If you can, I recommend waking up early to see the sunrise at Sacre-Coeur. I know that’s a lot of exercise for an early morning, but the experience is worth it! However, be sure to do the math to see if you’re reallygoing to save money and that your time spent on the additional travel is worth it. We think this is probably the best combination of location and affordability in Paris, which is why we’ve chosen to stay here on our past two trips.This is a full all day Paris itinerary that will have you seeing some of our favourite sights in Paris – which also happen to be the highlights of Paris that most visitors want to see. It’s definitely set up to be a full day, with the sights towards the end opening late so you can keep sightseeing even into the evening. All the charm. Seriously. All of it. Cobblestone streets. A great cafe culture, with Parisians and tourists alike sitting on the patios that line the streets. Leafy greenery. All of the charm. Paris is a very walkable city, and many major attractions can be very close together – and you never know, you might come across a hidden gem on the journey. Rent An Electric Scooter Rather than trek all the way to the Eiffel Tower, you might decide to spend part of the day at an art museum, one of the most popular things to do in Paris. If you prefer to stay in the Left Bank, Le Quartier Latin is a central and lively area with many bars and restaurants nearby, plus you are never far from the Luxembourg Gardens. Prices in Le Quartier Latin are slightly cheaper than in Saint- Germain.
