I spent a semester abroad in the city of love! As a budget traveler,
obviously I looked for the best cheap deals and I am here to share them with you: Top 7 FREE things to do in Paris!
One of my favorite things to do is visit museums! The first
Sunday of each month you can go to museums for free, including: The
Louvre, Musée Rodin, Musée Picasso,
Musée d'Orsay and others. ALSO every Friday from 6 p.m. admission to the The
Louvre museum is free for under-26s of all nationalities on presentation of
valid ID.
Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral
Do you want to explore Quasimodo’s home, aka Notre-Dame de
Paris Cathedral? Well you can do it for free! Fair warning though – it gets
packed and there are long lines. I suggest getting there early in the morning
before the rush of the crowds during a weekday.
Eiffel Tower
Come see a large iron structure shaped like a triangle that
most people call the Eiffel Tower. You can see it for free, no fees! (They
charge to go inside!) Pro tip: See it at night (also)! Every half an hour it
sparkles and in my opinion it is when it looks best!
Arc de Triomphe
It’s pretty. It’s big. Go see it! This is one of Paris’ most
famous monuments and it is the "star" of the juncture formed by its
twelve radiating avenues. It’s Neoclassicism style – if you’re into that type
of fancy stuff.
Sacré-Cœur
(French for Sacred heart!) The Roman Catholic church is a
must while in Paris. This also gets pretty crowded so plan accordingly. This
place will give you an incredible view of Paris and check out the small shops
around Montmartre while you’re there! Pro tip: Around the winter holidays there
is a display of a tiny village and nativity scene inside! Also there is a LOT
of walking at an incline to get to Sacré-Cœur – wear comfortable shoes and if
the walk is challenging take the funicular at Montmartre to go to the top (not
free).
Jardin du Luxembourg
By far my favorite park in Paris! It is filled with
beautiful things to see everywhere – gardens, a pond, fountain, sculptures,
French people, you name it! You can also play chess, tennis, and bridge or
remote control boats while you’re there.
BONUS: Free Walking Tours
These walking tours are free to go but a tip is required.
You can tip as little or as much as you wish!
