Sightseeing Spots in Paris

Sightseeing is our favourite way to explore a new city as a couple, so I am sharing the best sightseeing spots in Paris here:

Louvre Museum: A Date with Art and History

Begin your Parisian adventure with a visit to the Louvre Museum, a treasure trove of art and culture. Get lost in the vast collections, including the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo, as you stroll hand in hand through the museum’s magnificent halls.

Pro tip:Β The Louvre gets super crowded (even in the early morning), so it is highly recommended to buy skip-the-line tickets in advance.

Even if you’re not planning to enter the museum, the Louvre is still a super impressive building to watch from the outside:
