Paris, France is one of the most famous, recognized, and well known cities in the world. If you have ever been there, you know why. There are many, many beautiful sights to see in the city. Almost no matter where you go in Paris you will be able to see beautiful architecture and historic landmarks. You will be amazed by the beauty around you. However, there are a few things that stick out as being better than the rest.

The first thing I would recommend... GO TO THE TOP OF THE EIFFEL TOWER. Seriously, I can't stress this enough. During the 22 years I've been on this Earth, I consider going to the top of the Eiffel Tower one of the most magnificent and breathtaking things I have ever done. The view from the top of the Tower is one of the best views of a city that you will ever see in your whole life, no matter where you go. It'll cost you a little bit of money. Trust me when I say that doesn't matter. It's worth it. Besides, if you're vacationing in Paris you're probably spending a lot of money anyway. The view is incredible... all around you you can see the beauty of Paris, and you're seeing it from the top of the Eiffel Tower. Plus, you can always brag to your friends that you're went to the top of the Eiffel Tower. So if there's one thing you MUST do when you go to Paris, it's going to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Next, check out the Louvre. It's very possibly the best museum in the entire world, and every corner is another magnificent piece of work. It's an incredible experience walking by the Mona Lisa or any of the other great artwork on display there. If you have any appreciation for art whatsoever, you will find something amazing to see inside The Louvre.

Next, take a boat ride on the Seine River. Doing this you can see all the sights of Paris while floating down the river on a big boat. Just another incredible way to see all that Paris has to offer. It is a very relaxing way to see the city. Instead of driving around, taking a boat is a much nicer option to see all the sights along the river.

Last, visit some of the religious structures in the city. Even if you're not religious at all, the building are gorgeous. The Cathedral of Notre Dame is the most famous, but they are all beautiful in their own way. The architecture of the churches and Cathedrals is unparalleled to anything else in the city, in my opinion.

So these are just some things to do when you're vacationing in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Paris. Really, no matter what you do you'll most likely have a good time just taking advantage of all that Paris has to offer.
