Paris is the known as the most romantic city in the world and at Christmas time, it only gets more magical.

From world-class museums and fabulous shops, to Michelin star restaurants and cosy cafes, there is something for everyone to enjoy in Paris. Here are some tips for planning a weekend in Paris that they’ll never forget.

Where to stay 

Paris is separated into neighbourhoods called arrondissements and each one has a very unique feel. So when you’re choosing where to stay, you need to think about what you want to get out of your weekend in Paris. If you want to visit the museums and main sights then choosing a luxury apartment in Paris near the city centre is a good idea. That way you’ll be able to walk to most places and see all the iconic landmarks during your trip.

 

 

However, there are also lots of charming neighbourhoods a little further out that will give you a taste for local life and ensure your Christmas vacation in Paris is unforgettable. If simply being close to all the landmarks isn’t enough for you, and you want a view from your bedroom of the Tour Eiffel, check out these luxury apartments in Paris with an Eiffel Tower view. 

 

What to do

Paris is a city full of SO much to see and do that if you only have a weekend here, you’ll barely scratch the surface. So make sure you see some of the highlights. Taking a stroll around one of the most beautiful parks in Paris is a gorgeous way to spend a morning and will take you away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a few hours. Also make sure you head up high for a bird’s eye view of the city. Of course, the view from the Eiffel Tower is one of the most iconic in the world, but there are lots of beautiful views in Paris that will literally take your breath away and might not be so busy with crowds.
