Best Things to Do in Paris in 3 Days
Three days is a good amount of time to see Paris, in our opinion.
But the city is huge, and if it’s your first time here, it can be confusing to plan what to see and when. That’s why we’ve created this 3-day Paris itinerary for first-timers! To make the most of your limited time here, we put together a list of must-see sights, neighborhoods, and attractions that you can visit on this fun and easy walking tour.
In just three days, you’ll get to visit the following in Paris:
- Musee D’Orsay
- Musee du Louvre
- Arc de Triomphe
- Luxembourg Gardens
- Tuileries Garden
- Eiffel Tower
- Latin Quarter (5th Arr.)

- Seine River
- The Champs-Élysées
It’s the perfect mix of history and culture, and we know you’ll leave with a deeper understanding and appreciation for this fabulous city!

Best Time to Visit Paris
Paris is a year-round destination, so you’ll have plenty to do and see no matter when you come. However, we do prefer to go during the shoulder seasons (April to May or September to November) for several reasons. Not only are things like flights and hotels generally cheaper but there are also fewer crowds and tourists. And on top of that, the weather is still pretty warm, so you can still plan for outdoor activities!
Summer is a beautiful time to visit Paris, but it can be quite busy. Lines will be longer, attractions will be more crowded, and prices will usually be higher! If those are things you want to avoid, then plan your Paris itinerary during the shoulder seasons instead.
There are a lot of incredible places to stay around Paris, so we’ll help you decide on the best hotel for your first time. You’ll find that most accommodations only allow up to 3 guests, so we have families covered with this list!
Paris Itinerary: How to Get Around Paris
Before we dive into activities and attractions, let’s talk a bit more about how the city is organized.
Paris is one of the largest cities in Europe, and with more than 2 million residents living inside an area of 40 square miles, it also happens to be the most densely populated city as well! It’s centered around the Seine River, with the Right Bank to the north and the Left Bank to the south. And right in the middle of the river sit two islands – Île Saint-Louis and the Île de la Cité (the latter is home to the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral).
The city is divided into 20 different arrondissements or administrative districts, although it is easier to think of them as neighborhoods. The first arrondissement starts in the center of the city near the Louvre. From here, they wind counterclockwise, covering both the Right and Left Banks on either side of the river.
If you’re not sure which arrondissement you’re in, just look at the street signs! The number will usually be shown on the top of the plaque above the street name.

Getting around the city is relatively easy, and you have several different options in terms of transportation. There is a highly connected metro system as well as buses, trams, and even boats! You can also take taxis or ride-sharing companies like Uber to get around.
However, we suggest walking, as there’s no better way to get a feeling for a city. This Paris itinerary for first timers is designed to be walkable, although you’re more than welcome to use the metro or hail a taxi if you need to.

Paris Itinerary Day 1: Cafe to a Seine River Cruise
Your first day in Paris is all about good food and beautiful sights! So make sure to bring your walking shoes and an appetite!
Visit Cafe de Flore for Breakfast
Your first stop today is the famous Cafe de Flore for breakfast, which is located in St. Germain in the 6th arrondissement. We walk from our apartment in the 7th (it takes only 35 minutes, and you get to walk past the Les Invalides Armory Museum), but you can also take the metro there.
St. Germain is named for the Abbey of St. Germain, a 12th-century Gothic church located in the heart of the neighborhood. The original building was built in the 6th century but was destroyed two different times by the Vikings before being rebuilt in 1163.
Cafe de Flore also has an equally as exciting history. It opened in the mid-1880s, making it one of the oldest coffee houses in all of Paris. It attracted intellects, artists, and writers, including Pablo Picasso, Louis Aragon, and Jacques Prevert.

Across the street is a rival cafe, Les Deux Magot, which great thinkers and philosophers like Albert Camus frequented.
Down the block, you’ll find a plaque that designates the spot (Hotel d’York, which no longer exists) where Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay signed the Treaty of Paris, bringing the end of the American Revolution in 1783.
Try to grab a table outside (it’s the best people-watching spot!), although, on busy mornings, you might have to sit inside. The Art Deco interior hasn’t changed much since WWII, so it feels like you’ve stepped back in time. But in general, the service is friendly, and the coffee is strong, although it’s a bit more on the expensive side – even for Paris.
- Open: Daily from 7:30 AM to 1:30 AM
- Nearest metro station: Saint-Germain-des-Prés
Admire the Luxembourg Gardens
From Cafe de Flore, it’s just a quick 11-minute walk over to the entrance of the Luxembourg Gardens. This is our favorite green space in Paris, as there are lots of walking trails, cafes, and interesting sights and monuments to see.
One of the biggest attractions in the park is the Luxembourg Palace, which was built in 1615 by Marie de’ Medici, King Henry IV’s second wife. Around the palace, she added gardens and fountains, which eventually expanded into the 57-acre property you see today.

There are now over 100 different statues and monuments scattered around the gardens, mostly of artists, composers, and French nobility. But keep your eyes peeled for the replica of the Statue of Liberty, which the original designer himself made!
In front of the palace sits the Grand Basin. Here, you can rent vintage toy sailboats, which is by far our favorite thing to do here. Or you can find a chair or spot on the grass to soak up the sun and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the gardens.
- Open: 8 AM to 5 PM in winter, 8 AM to 8 PM in summer
- Cost: Free
- Nearest metro station: Saint-Sulpice
- Walking time from the last stop: 11 minutes

Have Lunch at Cook’n Saj
By now, you’re probably getting hungry, so it’s time to head to the Cook’n Saj for lunch. This restaurant is just a block away from Cafe de Flore (an 11-minute walk from Luxembourg Gardens) and serves delicious Mediterranean cuisine. Prices are fairly reasonable – main dishes are between 16€ and 23€ while mezze dishes are between 4€ and 9€ each.
- Open: 12 PM to 4 PM, 7 PM to 9:30 PM (Tuesday, Thursday), 12 PM to 4 PM, 7 PM to 10 PM (Friday, Saturday), 12 PM to 4 PM (Wednesday, Sunday)
- Nearest metro station: Mabillion
- Walking time from the last stop: 11 minutes
Grab a Hot Chocolate from Angelina
Make sure you leave a little bit of space in your stomach after lunch because it’s time to head over to Angelina. This famous tea house and cafe is right in front of the Musee du Luxembourg, which is a 10-minute walk from Cook’n Saj.
There are lots of different sweet treats for you to try here, but the Angelina Hot Chocolate is the star of the menu. It’s thick, creamy, and delicious, so it’s easy to see why many people consider it to be the best hot chocolate in all of Paris.
- Open: Daily from 10 AM to 5:30 PM
- Nearest metro station: Saint-Sulpice
- Walking time from the last stop: 10 minutes

Take a Seine Boat Tour
Taking a cruise down the River Seine is a great way to see Paris and learn about the history of the bridges and many landmarks along the river.
There are a lot of tour companies to choose from, but we recommend the two below for their location and quality. Click the links to book!
- 1-Hour River Seine Cruise: Leaves from Port de la Bourdonnais (near the foot of the Eiffel Tower) and includes audio commentary in 14 different languages.
- Cost: 16€ per person
- Nearest metro station: Champ de Mars–Tour
- Walking time from the last stop: 50 minutes
- 1-Hour Cruise from Pont Neuf: The departure point is a 15-minute walk from Angelina (the hot chocolate place). You’ll board at Pont Neuf, which is the oldest bridge in Paris that extends across Île de la Cité, the birthplace of Paris. Includes live commentary in French and English.
- Cost: 13€ per person
- Nearest metro station: Pont Neuf
- Walking time from the last stop: 15 minutes

- Cost: 120€+ per person
- Nearest metro station: Alma-Marceau
- Walking time from the last stop: 35 minutes

Explore Île de la Cité
If you take the second boat tour from Pont Neuf, then you can finish off the day by exploring the island of Île de la Cité. The history of Île de la Cité goes back to the 4th century BC, although it now houses the Prefecture of Police, the Palace of Justice, and the Tribunal of Commerce.
There are a lot of fascinating attractions to see here, including Notre Dame Cathedral, the chapel of Sainte-Chapelle, and the city’s first hospital. Near the Notre-Dame, you’ll find a small street with lots of little cafes and restaurants where you can grab a drink or a crepe to enjoy after a long day!
- Nearest metro station: Cité
- Walking time from the last stop: 2 minutes

Paris Itinerary Day 2: Classic Paris Neighborhoods
On your second day in Paris, you’ll be exploring a couple of traditional Parisian neighborhoods. We’ve chosen a few sights and activities in each location, but if you want a couple of extra recommendations, then you can download our free 1-page guide.
Place de Voges and Le Marais: 9 AM
This walking tour starts in Le Marais (which in French translates to the marshland), a fashionable district that’s spread across the 3rd and 4th arrondissements. Known for its old-world charm, cobblestone alleys, and quaint courtyards, it’s one of the most popular neighborhoods in all of Paris.
In the 13th century, it was home to the Knights Templar and soon became a desirable residential area for aristocrats and French nobility. You can get a feel for the grandiosity of the area by going to Place des Voges, one of the oldest and, in our opinion, prettiest squares in all of Paris.
We recommend coming here in the morning before it gets too crowded. It’s such a peaceful and quiet place surrounded by historic hotels, shops, and restaurants. You can even visit the home of writer Victor Hugo (who wrote The Hunchback of Notre-Dame and Les Misérables). His apartment is now a museum and is free to visit, so it’s worth stopping by while you’re in the square.
From the Place de Voges, you can walk along the Rue des Francs Bourgeois, a bustling street filled with shops, restaurants, and cafes. One of the best pastries we had was at a Jewish deli called Sacha Fineklsztajn one street over on Rue des Rosiers (the Marais has a very vibrant Jewish community that has existed here since the Roman days). Grab a snack here and get ready to move on to the next part of your Paris itinerary!
- Nearest metro station: Chemin Vert or Saint-Paul

Marche Des Enfants Rouges: 10:30 AM
Head up north a few blocks until you reach the Marche Des Enfants Rouges or the Market of the Red Children. The market got its name from the nearby orphanage, where the children wore clothes that were made with red fabrics.
Established in 1628, Marche Des Enfants Rouges is the oldest covered market in Paris. You’ll find lots of yummy things here, from fresh fruits and veggies to creamy French cheeses.
But the real reason to come here is for the street food vendors. You can find classic French dishes as well as international foods like burgers, bento boxes, seafood, etc. There’s not a lot of room or seating available, so be prepared to stand and eat.
While Marche Des Enfants Rouges is a nice spot for lunch, we recommend saving your appetite for our next spot on the list. Instead, you can pick up a few snacks (there are so many treats so try a couple of different ones!) before your big sit-down meal.

After leaving the market, head south towards the Seine. It’s roughly a 17-minute walk. On the way, stop by Hotel de Ville, Paris’s City Hall. This gorgeous building has been around since the mid-1300s, although it was expanded and reconstructed several times over the next few centuries. There’s an open plaza in the front of the building which is a great photo op.
- Open: 8:30 AM to 8:30 PM (Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday), 8:30 AM to 9:30 PM (Thursday), 8:30 AM to 5 PM (Sunday)
- Nearest metro station: Filles du Calvaire
- Walking time from the last stop: 17 minutes
Lunch at Le Trumilou: 12 PM
Just one block away from Hotel de Ville is Le Trumilou. This fantastic little family-run restaurant serves traditional French cuisine, such as French onion soup, beef entrecote, and escargot.
It’s located on a busy road, so it can be super noisy, especially if you choose to sit outside. However, it’s right on the Seine and in front of Notre Dame, so the views are nice! But the road can get loud.
- Open: 12 to 3 PM and 7 to 11 PM (Monday to Saturday), 12–3 PM and 7–10:30 PM (Sunday)
- Nearest metro station: Hotel de Ville
- Walking time from the last stop: 18 minutes

Musee d’Orsay 2 PM
Once your belly is full, you can continue to your next stop on this Paris walking tour to the Musee d’Orsay. It’s about a 30-minute walk from the Le Trumilou. You can go along the Seine, so you’ll get to enjoy beautiful water views while you walk.
To break up the journey, make a quick stop over at Jardin des Tuileries. It’s next to the Louvre and has lots of sculptures, fountains, and flowers to admire. If going inside the Louvre is on your bucket list, then you can do this now, although you need to buy tickets online in advance (for a certain day and certain time) through their website. And don’t worry, the Louvre is on the docket for tomorrow!
As far as a Paris itinerary for first timers goes, we chose to include a visit to Musee d’Orsay first, which is across from the Louvre on the Left Bank. It’s famous for its collection of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings, including artwork from Monet, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Seurat, and Van Gough.
In addition to the artwork, we love this museum because of the building which was the former Gare d’Orsay railway station built at the turn of the century. It’s home to the Musée d’Orsay Clock (you can see it from the outside, but it’s even more spectacular from the inside), which is a window that overlooks the Seine.

There’s a lot to see inside, so plan to be here for at least two hours. Although you can easily stay longer or take a guided tour to dive deeper into the museum.
You don’t need to book your tickets in advance (unless you’re coming for Free First Sunday), but it’s highly recommended since you can skip the line. We went in the mid to late afternoon and had advanced tickets to get in, but there wasn’t a line at the door anyway. If you have a Paris Museum Pass, you don’t need to reserve or book a timeslot.
- Open: 9:30 AM to 6 PM (Tuesday to Sunday, Thursdays stay open until 9:45 PM)
- Cost: 16€ per adult or 13€ for adults entering with kids under 18. Free for children, EU citizens between 18 to 25, and visitors on the 1st Sunday of the month.
- Tickets: Here
- Nearest metro station: Musee d’Orsay
- Walking time from the last stop: 30 minutes
Cafe de Flore 3:30 PM
Now, it’s time to head into the St. Germain neighborhood (the area you visited yesterday on your Paris itinerary). If you didn’t get the chance to have breakfast at Cafe de Flore, this is your time to do so! Or you can try the rival cafe, Les Deux Magots, across the street instead.
- Open: Daily from 7:30 AM to 1:30 AM
- Nearest metro station: Saint-Germain-des-Prés
- Walking time from last stop: 18 minutes

Pantheon 4:30 PM
From here, it’s time to explore another popular area of Paris – the 5th arrondissement. One of this neighborhood’s most iconic sites is the Pantheon, a monument built during the reign of Louis XV.
He intended the structure to be used as a church, but by the time it was completed, it was decided that the Pantheon would instead be used as a mausoleum. It now contains the remains of Voltaire, Jean-Jaques Rousseau, Victor Hugo, and Marie Curie.
If you want to go inside, you do need to purchase a ticket, which includes entrance into the dome and crypt. However, we strongly suggest paying the extra 3.50€ to go to the panorama, which is open from April 1st to September 30th. This allows you to walk up to the top of the Pantheon (it’s 203 steps!), where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping 360-degree views of the city.
- Open: Daily 9 AM to 6:30 PM
- Cost: 13€ per person, free for kids under 16 and on the 1st Sunday of January, February, March, November, and December.
- Tickets: Here
- Nearest metro station: Maubert – Mutualité and Jussieu
- Walking time from the last stop: 23 minutes
Latin Quarter for Dinner 6:30 PM
After a big day exploring the Parisian neighborhoods, you deserve a delicious meal! There are lots of amazing restaurants in the Latin Quarter (an area in the 5th arrondissement) where you can spend your evening. In addition to the plethora of Universities here, the Latin Quarter is also famous for its lively atmosphere and French Bistros, making it one of the best places for dinner.
We especially like the area on Rue de la Huchette. Most places don’t take reservations online, so you’ll need to call ahead of time. You can also pop in, put your name down, and walk around the area while you wait for your table.
Here are a couple of places we like:
- Le Petit Chatelet
- Le Caveau de le Huchette Jazz Club
- Le Grenier de Notre-Dame
- La Petite Pointoise
- Union Square
- La Jacobine
Walk Notre-Dame at Night 8:30 PM
To end the night, head back towards the Seine to view the magnificent Notre-Dame at night.

Paris Itinerary Day 3: Iconic Paris Landmarks
There’s no better way to spend your final day in Paris than by ticking off the iconic landmarks the city is known for.
Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars: 9 AM
Of course, a Paris itinerary for first timers is not complete without a trip to the Eiffel Tower! The 1,083-foot Iron Lady was built for the 1889 World Fair and has since become one of the most recognizable landmarks on the planet. It’s also the most visited landmark in the world that requires an entrance fee, which is why we recommend coming first thing in the morning.
Although not required, we suggest booking your tickets online in advance. You can do so up to two months before the date.
There are different ticket options available depending on which floors you want to visit. The highest one has the observation deck (it’s the tallest of its kind in the entire European Union), while the lower two stories have restaurants.
Make sure you save a little bit of time to wander around Champ de Mars, the sprawling greenspace that lies beneath the Eiffel Tower.
- Open: Daily 9:30 AM to 10:45 PM
- Cost: Ticket prices depend on your age and which floor you want to visit. Adult prices range from 11.80€ to 29.40€, youth prices from 5.90€ to 14.70€, and children prices from 3€ to 7.40€
- Tickets: Here
- Nearest metro station: Champ de Mars Eiffel Tower or Pont de l’Alma

Lunch on Rue Cler: 11 AM
A short walk from the Eiffel Tower is one of the most charming streets in the 7th arrondissement. Rue Cler is a pretty market street lined with cute cafes, quaint specialty shops, and delicious French restaurants!
You’ll have no problem finding a place to have lunch here. But if you don’t find anything that tantalizes your palette, you can look around the neighboring streets for another option. Keep in mind that some of the restaurants can be a little touristy and/or expensive, but it still has some of the best options for being this close to the Eiffel Tower!
- Nearest metro station: La Tour-Maubourg
- Walking time from the last stop: 15 minutes
The Louvre: 1 PM
After lunch, you’ll want to check off another must-see Parisian site – the Louvre! If you didn’t visit the museum yesterday on your way to Musee d’Orsay, then today is your chance. However, you’ll need to make sure you book a ticket in advance online, as they will close sales if it’s overcrowded (which usually happens in the summer).
The museum is located in the stunning Louvre Palace and opened to the public for the first time in 1793. It now contains half a million pieces, 35,000 of which are in the museum’s permanent collection.
In addition to the Mona Lisa, arguably the Louvre’s most famous painting, you can see Egyptian antiquities, Islamic Art, Greek and Roman sculptures, and paintings, prints, and drawings from the last several centuries. If you have little ones and you’re worried about their attention spans, check out this Louvre tour for families.
- Open: 9 AM to 6 PM (Wednesday to Monday), Thursdays are open late until 9:45 PM
- Cost: 22€ per person
- Tickets: Here
- Nearest metro station: Louvre – Rivoli or Palais Royal – Musée du Louvre
- Walking time from the last stop: 45 minutes
Tuileries Garden: 4 PM
After spending a few hours in the Louvre, walk next door to the peaceful Tuileries Garden. These gardens once belonged to the Tuileries Palace, the French monarchy’s Parisian residence built in 1564. However, the Paris Commune burned the palace to the ground in 1871, leaving only the gardens as part of the property.

Take a stroll through the gardens and down the tree-covered Grand Couvert. There are lots of interesting statues scattered about, many of which date back to the period of Louis XIV. If you have extra time, you can also visit the Musée de l’Orangerie, an art museum that contains Claude Monet’s Water Lilies murals.
- Nearest metro station: Palais Royal – Musée du Louvre or Concorde
- Walking time from the last stop: 5 minutes
Champs-Elysee: 5 PM
The Avenue de Champs-Elysee starts on the western end of the Tuileries Garden. This 1.2-mile long and 250-foot wide street leads toward the Arc de Triomphe and is lined with theaters, cafes, hotels, and high-end retailers.
If you walk the entire avenue without stopping, it should only take you about 30 minutes to reach the Arc de Triomphe. However, there’s a lot to see on this street. You can pop into a few shops, visit the Grand Palais and Petite Palais, or grab a pre-dinner snack and drink at one of the many street-side cafes.
- Nearest metro station: Concorde, Champs-Élysées – Clemenceau, or Geroge V
- Walking time from the last stop: 5 minutes to the beginning of Avenue de Champs-Elysee (eastern side)
Arc de Triomphe: 6:30 PM
As your final activity for the day, make your way down the Avenue de Champs-Elysee toward the Arc de Triomphe. It’s located in the center of the Place Charles de Gaulle, which is the second-largest square in all of Paris. It’s fun just to watch from the sidewalk to see all the cars navigating the large roundabout around the 154-foot-tall monument!
The arc itself took nearly 30 years to build and is now considered one of the symbols of France. The monument’s ground level is free to visit. Here, you can see the shields dedicated to the soldiers from the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, as well as the flame for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
But if you want to go up to the top, you’ll need to buy a ticket. The observation deck at the top boasts one of the best views in Paris. However, you’ll need to walk up the 284 steps to the top or take an elevator to the mid-level and climb 64 stairs to the top (it’s not wheelchair or stroller-friendly).
As with most other Paris attractions, you can reserve your ticket in advance online. This guarantees that you’ll be able to visit the observation deck, even on a busy day!
- Open: 10 AM to 11 PM (summer), 10 AM to 10:30 PM (winter)
- Cost: 16€ per person
- Tickets: Here
- Nearest metro station: Kléber, George V, Argentine, or Ternes
- Walking time from the last stop: 30 minutes from the start of the Avenue de Champs-Elysee (eastern side)
