Activities in Paris

422 experiences

Paris rewards the visitor who books nothing and the one who books everything, but not in the same way. The queue at the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and the Catacombs is the price of deciding on the day; almost everywhere else, walking up still works.

The city is small enough to cross on foot and dense enough that an afternoon rarely holds more than two things. Most guided walks run two to three hours, most museum slots are timed to the half hour, and the last Seine cruises leave around ten in the evening in summer.

Questions about Paris

Seine cruises, most walking tours, cooking and pastry workshops and neighbourhood food tours usually have same-day places. Timed-entry monuments — the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Catacombs, Sainte-Chapelle — are the ones that sell out first.

A guided walk or a river cruise sits in the twenty to forty euro range, a museum with skip-the-line access around thirty to sixty, and a cooking workshop or a private tour rather more. Prices on each listing are the operator's own — no booking fee is added.

May, June and September have the daylight without August's crowds or its closures — a good number of restaurants and small operators take their own holiday in August. Winter is quiet, cheap, and the museums are at their most comfortable.
