Paris is a city that’s on everyone’s bucket list. It’s the city of love, fashion and art. Needless to say, you’ll never run out of things to do in Paris, France.

From cruising down the Seine River to admiring the iconic Mona Lisa and works of art in the Lourve, to chowing down on some escargot, there’s plenty to keep you, and the family, occupied.

In fact, deciding which attractions in Paris to add to your itinerary is the hardest part! To help you out, we’ve gathered this list of unmissable Paris attractions so you can make planning easier.

Whether you’re visiting for a weekend or a week, these are not to be missed.

1. See Incredible Views of the Eiffel Tower from Montparnasse Tower

The most iconic site in Paris is of course, the Eiffel Tower. But where is the best view point?

At 210 meters tall, the Montparnasse Tower is the tallest building in Paris. It features an outdoor observatory deck on the 56th floor that provides stunning panoramic views of Paris, including, the Eiffel Tower.

The tower itself is a beautiful sight, but when you add in the cityscape of Paris in the background, it’s a truly amazing view. You can see all the famous landmarks from up here, from The Louvre to The Panthéon and more.

The Tower is open from 11 AM to 10:30 PM,  so you can come up here day or night. It is the most crowded during sunset (for good reason), so if you want to avoid the crowds, come up a little earlier or later in the day.

No matter what time of the day you decide to visit, you’ll certainly be amazed by the views! We particularly enjoyed visiting at night, when you can see the Eiffel Tower and the rest of Paris lit up. It’s one of our favorite things to do in Paris at night.
