Top 21 Landmarks in Paris
1. Eiffel Tower
Sightseeing | Architecture
The Universal Exposition held a competition to build a 300-meter-long tower about 130 years ago to honor the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. The Eiffel Tower also referred to as the "Iron Lady" in common parlance, represents the strength of the Parisian industry, economy, and culture. This architectural marvel can be seen from every location in Paris and is covered in around five billion lights. It should come as no surprise that the Eiffel Tower draws around 7 million tourists each year. Without visiting the Eiffel Tower, a trip to the City of Love is not complete.
Interesting Fact: To give it a new golden tint in time for the 2024 Olympics, work is being done to remove the previous 19 coats and apply the yellow-brown tone that Gustave Eiffel originally intended.

2. Arc de Triomphe
Sightseeing | Historic
The Arc de Triomphe, one of the largest arches in the world, is a significant representation of French identity. In the middle of the Étoile roundabout, this beautifully carved triumphal arch watches over traffic. To honor the men who died fighting in the Napoleonic and French Revolutionary conflicts, it was commissioned back in 1806. Important occasions like the annual Tour de France race and Bastille Day military parade serve to highlight its significance. Without visiting this famous site and taking in the dreamlike panorama of the city's environment from its rooftop, a vacation to Paris would be incomplete.
Why Visit: The observation platform at the top of Arc de Triomphe is a great place to visit in the evening, providing a great view of the City of Lights.

3. Paris Pantheon
Historic | Sightseeing
The enormous neoclassical dome of the Panthéon on the Left Bank is a symbol of the Parisian skyline and is equal parts elegant and regal. Around 1750, Louis XV ordered the massive architectural marvel as an abbey dedicated to Ste Geneviève as a token of gratitude for his illness recovery. It wasn't finished until 1789 because of structural and budgetary issues. Following the design of Rome's Pantheon, the monastery was transformed into a mausoleum for some of France's most notable inhabitants in 1791. For the next century, the Paris Pantheon was the highest structure in Paris.
Why Visit: The centerpiece of the Pantheon is a replica of Foucault's pendulum, which was initially suspended from the dome in 1851 to show how the earth rotates.

The collection of impressionist and postimpressionist art at the museum is renowned for being the largest in the world. The Musée d'Orsay's richly hued walls give the appearance that the paintings by masters like Renoir, Gauguin, Cézanne, and Degas are hanging in a cozy living room. The Gare d'Orsay, a majestic former train station where the museum is housed, was finished in the 20th century and is a prime example of art nouveau design.
Tip: France's prized national collection of masterpieces from 1848 to 1914 is the main attraction. Give yourself plenty of time to drool over Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Pissarro, and Van Gogh masterpieces.
