- Jeana MartinAlaska9 contributionsWe visited the Eiffel Tower in August, and it was a highlight of our trip! The views from the second floor were breathtaking, and the vibrant atmosphere made it even more special. We loved taking photos and soaking in the sights of Paris together. The summit was definitely worth the wait, offering stunning panoramic views. As night fell, seeing the tower lit up was truly magical. This experience is one we'll cherish forever, and I highly recommend visiting the Eiffel Tower to anyone traveling to Paris!Written October 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- James GMill Valley, CA8 contributionsOne of the world’s great museums, it seems presumptuous to comment on the Louvre. But several helpful hints can be made about visiting it. Possibly the most important is to enter from the Rue de Rivoli at the Carrousel entrance. This ensures a shorter wait—and one potentially out of the rain. Nothing is quite so poignant as to look down on a shuffling line of visitors huddled under their umbrellas, patiently waiting at the Pyramid entrance. Accept the fact that the Museum simply is too large be seen in a single day. Even two days might just be enough for the Sully and Richelieu galleries. A Paris Museum Pass makes repeated visits more practical but will not get you to the head of the queue. Once inside, do try to avoid the madness of Room 711, where there is a scrum to see the Mona Lisa. Even when you come to a point where there is nothing between you and the painting, it still is ten feet in front of you. Before then, all you will see are those looking in the other direction as they preen and pout for an endless number of selfies. It truly is a dispiriting moment. Fortunately, Leonardo’s “The Virgin of the Rocks,” “Saint Anne,” and “Portrait of a Woman of the Court of Milan” are as beautiful and can be enjoyed in Room 710. Then, at some point, wend your way to the paintings of Northern Europe, where in Room 837 you will see Vermeer’s “The Lacemaker” and, next to it, “The Astronomer.” Finally, back down on the ground floor, note that Roman Antiquities are closed and the permanent collection replaced (until January 2025) by “Masterpieces from the Torlonia Collection.” In Greek Antiquites, there is, of course, “The Venus de Milo.” If one hurries to Room 345 upon opening, it may be contemplated in peace for a few minutes before others arrive. Don’t overlook the case nearby where the apple awarded to the goddess in the Judgement of Paris is displayed.Written October 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Zapryan DLondon, UK326 contributionsI visited the Musée d'Orsay with my girlfriend in July earlier this year and I was simply astounded by the beautiful building and the magnificent artworks on display. The museum has an amazing collection of works by Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists such as Monet, Degas, Cezanne, Pissaro, Van Gogh, and Berthe Morisot. The museum's building is a work of art itself - a beautiful old train station with a gorgeous clock. Make sure you check out the great collection of sculptures, especially the ones by Rodin, including the original plaster cast of the Gates of Hell. If you're in Paris on the first Sunday of the month, take advantage of the free entry, though take note that this is very popular so you should make sure you book your tickets in advance.Written October 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Zapryan DLondon, UK326 contributionsThe Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Montmartre or simply Sacre-Coeur as it is known to most people is a lovely 19th century church built on the hill of Montmartre. The church is free to enter though you should take note that you may have to wait in line for 20-30 minutes or even longer at busy times. The interiors of the church are beautiful but we were just as impressed by the magnificent views of Paris from Montmartre hill. If you're interested in seeing the city from the top of the basilica, you can buy a ticket for the dome tour but bear in mind that there's 300 steps to the top of the church. We didn't end up taking the tour as we found the views from the hill itself sufficient.Written October 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SmeatersVenice, Italy127 contributionsThe guided tour is wonderful; so worth signing up for instead of a self-guided visit. Our guide, Stéphanie, was enthusiastic and knowledgable - she gave great detail on the building itself, the performances, the architect, the history… visiting the Palais Garnier was one of the highlights of my trip to Paris. Tours are available in various languages and ours was in English - Stéphanie’s English was near perfect.Written October 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- EmeraldCityGlobeTrtrSeattle, WA343 contributionsAfter getting off the Metro and making our way to the neighborhood, I was really taken with the charm of the area (gate knob in the shape of a wine bottle, a Smurf mosaic on a wall). Yes, it is crowded and there are no shortages of gift shops; however, there's also artists creating amazing paintings and of course there's the view at the top of the hill.
We opted to get off the Metro at Lamarck - Caulaincourt and come to the neighborhood from that direction and then went down the stairs as we left. Whether you opt to go down the stairs or you choose to go up them, you will encounter the bracelet sellers at the base, no matter what they say or do (they do put their hands on arms), if you just keep walking without saying a word, they'll leave you alone and move on to someone else. We avoided them by sitting on nearby benches and when they had approached others, we walked right by unnoticed.Written September 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LisaMNUSASaint Paul, MN1,095 contributionsLe Marais is absolutely perfect! Our apartment was right next to the Place des Vosges, and we were surrounded by great restaurants, bakeries, and grocery stores. Plus, there are two free museums just a 2-5 minute walk away. The area is truly beautiful.Written September 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Lisa PKaty, TX211 contributionsWe purchased tickets online for our own self-guided tour of Sainte-Chapelle as soon as we arrived because we had not pre-booked. It would not have mattered anyway because the queues are long and very confusing. If you arrive without a ticket, IMMEDIATELY go online and purchase a ticket for a specified entry time, especially if you’ve purchased the Paris City Pass. There are lines for those with tickets showing entry on the hour: 10, 11, 12, 1, etc. and a separate line for those with tickets showing entry on the half-hour 9:30, 10:30, 11:30, etc. There were many confused people jogging from one line to the next because there is no clear direction. That being said, DO NOT MISS THIS TOUR!
The building is absolutely spectacular, the architecture stunning, the stained glass is absolutely breathtaking and the combined effect is absolutely transporting.Written September 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Zapryan DLondon, UK326 contributionsThe Musée de l’Orangerie is a beautiful art gallery with a lovely collection of works by Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painters. Its collection includes the famous Water Lilies series of eight large paintings by Claude Monet, as well as paintings by Modigliani, Rousseau, Cezanne, Picasso, and Matisse. Sadly, the works of Renoir and Cezanne were on tour when my girlfriend and I visited in July earlier this year, but they'll be back by the end of the year, I think.Written October 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- I visited this place🇺🇸🇫🇷🇨🇭🇬🇷🇬🇧Israel35,403 contributionsPROS
* Brilliant and famous ornate decorated structure
* Elaborate fancy sculptures
* Elaborate fancy lamp posts
* Connects the Grand and Petit palais to the Invalides
CONS
* Busy traffic
"I VISITED THIS PLACE"...
... as a return visit from October 2019. I visited because it is famous and has a history. I crossed from the Grand and Petit palais areas on my way to visit (again) the museum of Les Invalides (see my next review).
I liked crossing, being on and observing, studying, analyzing and photographing 📷 the statues (see my "helpful" 👍 photos 📷, especially of foreign tourists with the bridge as the background.
WAS IT WORTH THE COST
Yes- it is free
WOULD 'I VISIT THIS PLACE" AGAIN?
Probably, but not as a specific destination but as something that I'm passing anyway, between something and something else
ADVICE
* This is certainly worth seeing- walking on it, sailing underneath and looking from the sides of the river
* It gives a good unobstructed view of the Eiffel Tower, especially at night on the hour when it is twinkling- best to stand towards the end of the bridge, on the side that is closest to the Petit Palais ( full disclosure- I didn't stand there on this trip)Written August 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You can get right under it on the ground floor or there is a little viewing platform a few floors up.
I recommend a trip to the roof for a view of the city and the Eiffel Tower. We also had champagne and lunch in one of the bars in-store which was very nice.
I’ve marked it down a star because the public toilets were difficult to find and absolutely vile.Written October 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
