5 Places to Visit in Paris

If you’re in a bit of a rush and need top 5 recommended places to visit in Paris then you’ve come to the right place! On our 10 country tour, it was tough squeezing in the best places in just one visit, especially a major European city like Paris but Flixbus made it pretty convenient. Fortunately, we were able to visit all 5 places in 1 day just on foot, but obviously if you rent a bike or scooter it will be even easier to get around.

The sheer volume of art, fashion, and culture we experienced on our short visit were unforgettable. There’s no way you’ll get to do it all – museum-touring, shopping, cemetery-perusing, district-exploring, opera-attending – so plan your own itinerary accordingly and enjoy as many attractions as possible but on your own terms.
