A List Of The Top Travel Destinations In Europe: Exploring
The Top Attractions In Paris
More than 23.5 million visitors flock to Paris on a yearly basis to
gaze upon the attractions scattered across the land. Throughout the
city, there are literally hundreds of notable monuments and museums to
take note of, but five of them seem to draw the most attention. Below
are the top sights associated with the destination that many know as
the ”City of Light.”
Eiffel Tower: It is quite hard to ignore the beauty of one of the most
recognizable monuments in the world. In all of Europe, it is rather
difficult to find another landmark that holds more clout. Whether you
associate the sight as the Cruise and Holmes proposal spot or the main
feature of countless Paris postcards, it is the breathtaking view from
this monument that is the most talked about.
Arc de Triomphe: While it doesn’t compare to the height of the Eiffel
Tower, it does however present some of the best views of the city. Each
year, more than a million people come here to enjoy the city sights.
Louvre Museum: When it comes to exploring one of the most famous
museums in the world, it is here where you will find the infamous
Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, as well as thousands of additional
pieces within an impressive collection of art that spans hundreds of
great civilizations. With a history that dates back to 1793, the Louvre
is one of the oldest museums located in Europe.
Centre Pompidou: Modern art enthusiasts should head for this
building, which could stand as a work of art on its own. Here, an
assortment of activities is offered, including film, concerts, and
things for children to enjoy. Millions of tourists gather at this site
on a yearly basis.
Cite des Sciences at de l’Industrie: If science is your cup of tea,
this interactive museum has plenty of exhibits to help pass your time
in the city. Many of the hands-on entertainment explore the depths of
various branches of science and technology, such as biology to anatomy.
