Paris - Buses and buses - Attractions, monuments and sightseeing in Paris

The capital of France is a place that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. Paris is one of the most important metropolises in the world - not only for its political prominence, but also for the accumulation of remarkable monuments, which Parisians have in abundance. This city inspires artists, is the cradle of modern French history, and is the litmus test of European modernity. Paris is also a mecca for tourists from all over the world, who visit one of the largest cities on the Old Continent every year. The capital of the Fifth Republic offers so many attractions that it is virtually impossible to describe in a single text what Paris has to offer its visitors. It is worth mentioning here its most important sites to give a substitute for what awaits tourists visiting Paris. It may turn out that just a few days stay in Paris will allow you to feel the atmosphere of this city and be a capital idea for a vacation in the city.

One of the central points on the map of Paris is the island of Île de la Cité, flanked by the waters of the Seine. It is the cradle of the French capital. It houses, among others, the Notre Dame Cathedral, which suffered a fire a few years ago.

The Champs-Élysées (Avenue des Champs-Élysées) is the capital's most representative avenue. In addition to brand-name stores and trendy restaurants, you will find here, among other things, the famous Arc de Triomphe, commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte himself. Walking down the Champs-Élysées towards the Louvre Museum (once a royal palace), we pass the Elysée Palace - the seat of the French President - on the left, and later also the classicist St. Magdalene's Church and the Place de la Concord in succession.

On the other, southern side of the Seine, other gems await. On the banks of the river is the Museum d'Orsay - where you will find works of art by the most famous Impressionists and Post-Impressionists. It is also home to one of the most recognizable monuments in Paris - the Eiffel Tower, also known as the Iron Lady. At the time of its construction in the late 19th century, it was the tallest building in the world. Today, although it has long been dethroned in this category, it is still impressive and attracts crowds of tourists. On this part of the river is also the Latin Quarter, where we can admire the academic buildings of the Sorbonne, the Pantheon or the St. Michael fountain. Between the Latin Quarter and the Eiffel Tower is the Palais des Invalides, where Napoleon's sarcophagus is laid to rest. The body of Marshal Foch and other French commanders also rests here.

In the northern part of Paris, one of the key attractions is Montmartre Hill, where the Sacré-Cœur Basilica has been erected. From this place you can enjoy a magnificent panorama of the city.
