Irrespective of whether you pick the 1 or the 2-day ticket, you will be able to explore the curious cobbled streets of the city’s left bank, take in the Napoleonic splendour of the École Militaire and visit what has become the emblem of Paris: The world-famous Eiffel Tower! There’s absolutely no need to hurry as you can mosey around as you wish hopping on and off as much as you like! See the many faces of Paris in terms of its historical side, its romantic side as well as its fashionable, fun and super shopper-friendly side.

Get off at the Champ de Mars, a massive park jam-packed with wide walking paths that zigzag across immaculate lawns. The borders of this park are lined with trees and flowering shrubs; colourful flower beds are dotted around too! Of course, what really brings the park to life is the impressive Eiffel Tower which is by far the most iconic monument of Paris. At a staggering 330 metres high, it’s the highest building in Paris and one of the most visited monuments in the world. Head on up to the viewing platform for mind-blowing views of the city, which get even more exceptional as the sun begins to set.

Be sure not to miss The Musee du Louvre which began as a royal fortress and is now a most magical museum made up of a whopping 35,000 works of art. You can easily spend hours upon hours strolling around here without even noticing the time go by. Meander around The Montmartre zone of the city, pass by the remarkable Moulin Rouge and feel free to catch a show if you’re up for it.

All of this and much more is just waiting to be discovered in the pretty city of Paris.

What´s more, the Essential and Explore tickets include a one-hour sightseeing cruise that will takes you past many stunning monuments, four major museums and sail under several bridges offering you the chance to witness the city’s most popular attractions.
