Must-see Paris landmarks
No visit to Paris is complete without exploring its iconic monuments. Take in panoramic views from the Tour Montparnasse, or reach the top with Eiffel Tower summit tickets for unforgettable views.

Seeing Paris from the Seine is a must. A 1-hour Seine river cruise glides past landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, and Notre-Dame. For a more luxurious experience, book a lunch or dinner river cruise and enjoy French cuisine while drifting under the city’s iconic bridges. Dining on land is equally special: reserve a table at Madame Brasserie, the Eiffel Tower’s exquisite restaurant, for an unforgettable lunch or dinner high above Paris.
