Three Unforgettable Days in Paris! 🇫🇷✨
Three days in Paris = pure magic! If you ever wonder how to make every minute count, bookmark this packed itinerary. Here’s how I made the most of every single second—expect iconic sights, dazzling views, yummy food, and a little shopping spree. Ready, set, Paris!
Day 1: Early Bird Wins Paris 🕖
I landed in Paris at 7:30am, dropped my luggage in a locker, and dashed straight to the legendary Eiffel Tower (Champ de Mars, 5 Avenue Anatole France, 75007 Paris—opens 9:30am to 11:45pm, last elevator up 11pm)! Beating the lines, I rode up in the *first* elevator of the day—no crowds, just jaw-dropping 360° city views. Literally felt like the main character! Snapped epic pics before heading to the Louvre Museum (Rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris, open daily except Tuesdays).
The Louvre was sooo good! Art overload until midday, followed by a delish lunch at a nearby café. Afterwards, I set off for a walking tour: first stop, the magical Sainte-Chapelle (8 Boulevard du Palais, 75001 Paris, open 9am to 7pm, pre-book tickets!). Those stained glass windows are actual goals. Notre-Dame Cathedral was next (6 Parvis Notre-Dame – Pl. Jean-Paul II, 75004 Paris)—free entry! I treated myself to a cozy coffee break before hopping on a bus to The Pantheon (Place du Panthéon, 75005 Paris, open 10am to 6pm, ticket needed). The Greek-style vibes here are unreal.
From the Pantheon, I bussed over to Paris’s very own Statue of Liberty (Île aux Cygnes, open 24/7), then finished the day with a river cruise (Port de la Bourdonnais, open 10am to 10:30pm). Sunset on the Seine is *next level* 💯. After the evening magic, grabbed dinner and finally checked in to my hotel.
Day 2: Museums and Moulin Rouge 💃🏼
Museum marathon! Started at Grand Palais (3 Avenue du Général Eisenhower, 75008 Paris) and Petit Palais (Avenue Winston Churchill, 75008 Paris), then chilled in the beautiful Tuileries Gardens (Place de la Concorde, 75001 Paris). Next up: Palais Garnier (Opéra national de Paris, 8 Rue Scribe, 75009 Paris)—took breaks + lunch between the famous stops!
The night? Oh, it’s showtime! Scored Moulin Rouge tickets (82 Boulevard de Clichy, 75018 Paris—book in advance) and it was THE highlight. Absolute Parisian vibes! After the show, strolled the "erotic" street near Moulin Rouge for laughs (PG-rated, don’t worry 😂) and headed back to the hotel to crash.
Day 3: Shop Till You Drop & Bookworm Feels 🛍️📚
Last day = shopping spree in Paris’s fab shopping districts (Galeries Lafayette, 40 Boulevard Haussmann, 75009 Paris, open 10am to 8pm). Ended the trip at Shakespeare and Company Café (37 Rue de la Bûcherie, 75005 Paris, open 10am to 8pm), chilling in their dreamy bookshop, totally lost in the pages until it was time to grab my bags and head to the airport.
Hot Tips for Smooth Paris Vibes:
1. Score unlimited public transit with the Navigo pass (€12/day, airport lines not included).
2. If you’re on a museum binge, get the Museum Pass (€75/day)—saves major €€ and time!
