Visiting Paris
Paris is an old city full of intrigue with a long history. Over
the years it has become one of the most visited cities in the world.
Paris short stays are very popular and for good reason as it makes
a superb location for a romantic weekend. Most people quickly discover
that a few days is not really enough.
Visitors flock to see its many wonderful buildings - it has much
to offer visitors who adore culture, even if it is only for a long
weekend. Traveling around Paris is relatively easy for visitors
as well as locals. There is a superb underground rail system called
the Metro which is efficient and easy to understand.
It wouldn't be possible to visit this city without a trip to the
top of the famous steel structure known as the Eiffel Tower - it's
visible throughout most of the city but the views from the top of
this huge steel structure are even more impressive. Illuminated
at night it dominates the city's skyline and it is possible to take
organized tours which tell the story of the Tower and the history
of France.
If you plan on spending some of your traveler's checks in Paris,
then a trip down the Champs Elysees is an essential part of a trip
- it will present you with many famous designer shops and good restaurants.
This is an ‘up-market' area that attracts thousands of tourists
each day. It is also where most of the five star hotels are situated
but thankfully hotels tend to be cheaper once you move away from
the city center.
This city is also the home to the renowned Louvre Museum which houses
over three hundred thousand exhibits, but not all of them are ever
on display at the same time. If you are in Paris on a short stay
you must plan your time well. Unfortunately it has so many visitors
each year that some people are unable to see their favorite works.
Paris has attracted world famous artists for hundreds of years -
chances are that you will have the opportunity to see a number of
famous paintings while you're visiting.
Paris is also the home of the equally famous Arc de Triomphe which
Napoleon had constructed in the early part of the 19th century -
the names of his generals are engraved on its surface and another
of those ‘must have' photo land marks. Many people do not know that
an observatory was included in the design which affords great views
of the surrounding area, in particular those obtained along the
lanes that lead from it.
Of course this article can only give a small sample places to visit
and while there are many more worthy examples, those listed here
should not be missed.
Paris short stay holidays should only ever be considered as tasters
for what is a truly magnificent city. The likes of medieval churches,
buildings and castles, which it has in abundance, will have to wait
until another time.
