Why visit Paris?

Paris is a city that requires little introduction as it is one of few truly global cities. It has achieved iconic status throughout the years due to its beauty, it's unrivalled reputation for romance, its architecture, its food, art, history and much more besides. Whether your main reason to visit Paris is for a romantic dinner at the Eiffel Tower, a stroll along the Champs Elyse`s or a peak at the artistic treasures in the Louvres, one thing is for sure - Paris will not disappoint.

Paris has more than enough for even the most discerning of travellers. Whether it is your first, second or even tenth visit, you will never be short of options. First time visitors will of course want to take the obligatory trip up the Eiffel Tower, take some tourist snaps of the Arc de Triomphe, visit Montmartes and the Louvres and take a leisurely river trip on the Seine. Couples will love the romance of Paris by night, waling along the Champs Elyse`s, dining in some of Europe's finest restaurants and partying the night away in the many bars and nightclubs that make this very much a 24 hour city. For families and younger visitors, Disneyland Paris is a must.
