Best Views in Paris

With so many historic buildings, notable landmarks, luscious parks and bustling streets, there is so much of Paris to see. In order to properly appreciate these views you should travel to the best vantage points, including those described below.


Eiffel Tower - The image of this structure is perhaps the most commonly associated image of Paris. It is a simply huge structure from which you can gain panoramic views of the city. You can either venture Paris viewshalf way up or go the whole hog and climb to the very top to see for miles around. For those who are not keen on walking all the way up there is always the option of taking the elevator.

Arc De Triomphe - It is surprising how much you can see from this structure as when you stand underneath it and look up it does not appear to be tall in comparison to other structures in the city. In reality, however, once you reach the top you can see far and wide. This is arguably the best place to acquire pictures of the busy Paris traffic and pedestrian walkways.

Notre Dame - This glorious gothic structure has more to offer than just top class design features, it also offers a splendid view of the surrounding area. The narrow steps which you must climb to reach the top add to the character of the visit.
