Paris, France
According to a report by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), France is set to retain its
title as the most popular travel destination in 2024. Data shows that in the first half of 2024,
international arrivals were already at 93 percent of the same period in 2019 or before the pandemic.
Paris, in particular, is the world’s most powerful city destination. The City of Love and Light is a
tourist magnet for a reason. Primarily, it’s because it’s home to many iconic pieces of architecture. A
trip to Paris wouldn’t be complete without visiting the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe, which sits
at the top of the famed street of Champs-Élysées.
The Louvre is more than just an architectural marvel. It’s one of the most important and largest art
museums in the world. Once home to French kings, it now houses the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo,
and the Winged Victory, among other art pieces. If you want to view impressionist work, Musee
d’Orsay is a must-visit. Here, you’ll see Monet, Manet, Degas, Cezanne, Renoir, Gaugin, Van Gogh,
and more.
Explore the historic heart of Paris when you head on to Île de la Cité where you can find Sainte-
Chapelle and Notre Dame. You also shouldn’t miss the River Seine, which is central to the city’s
history. Today, the river borders 10 of the city’s 20 arrondissements or municipalities. It’s spanned
by 37 bridges in Paris and is one of the most romantic destinations in Europe.
With Paris hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics, new attractions have also emerged. These include
the floating photography gallery of Quai de la Photo on the Seine. No matter what your itinerary is,
don’t forget to take a food tour. Sampling French pastries, wine, cheese, and snacks is a delectable
way to learn more about the city.
