For landmark enthusiasts, Notre Dame is a place that you should not miss. The construction of Notre Dame began in 1160. Almost one millennium later, Notre Dame has naves, chapels and towers that are very impressive. It is one of Paris’ best known landmarks too. If you want to add a little challenge to your Notre Dame trip, we dare you to climb up the tower and endure the 422 steps you need to take. But do not worry because it’ll be worth it. You’ll be rewarded by a panoramic view of the city from the tower’s top.
Another way to enjoy what Paris has to offer is to take a look at it from another perspective. Try going on a cruise through the Seine River. As you go on the cruise, you will get to see different landmarks that are historical and magnificent. Some of these landmarks include the Louvre and the oldest bridge in Paris which is Pont Neuf.
The Mona Lisa painting is probably one of the best known paintings around the world and you can see it up close and personal at the Louvre. The Louvre has already been featured in a lot of movies and it is easily identifiable because of its façade that is shaped as a triangle and is made out of glass. It is also one of the best art museum in existence.
