Things to
Do in Paris
|
First time travelers to Paris are likely to be overwhelmed. The city
of lights may seem as though it is too much to handle but in fact the
city itself is quite small. Visitors can actually walk from one major
tourist attraction to another instead of having to invest in some form
of transportation. Walking is actually the recommended form of transportation
for exploring Paris. Although Paris is not a very large city, it is
a very culturally diverse city which makes it seem as though you are
actually visiting several different cities in one. Each individual neighborhood
has its own feel with some being sophisticated and others artsy but
each one takes on a unique personality making a trip through a few city
blocks seem like a journey through ages. In addition to the lively and
diverse neighborhoods there are also dining options ranging from fine
dining to street side cafes. Beyond all that Paris has a few tourist
attractions that travelers should definitely plan on visiting whether
it is their first trip to Paris or they have visited several times already.
No trip to Paris would be complete without a visit to the famed Louvre.
In addition to being the home to the world famous Mona Lisa, the Louvre
is also one of the largest and arguably one of the finest collections
of art in the world. There are sculptures, paintings, drawings, objets
d’art, and any other form of art that you can imagine from ancient Asia,
Greece, Rome and Egypt. The abundance of art is almost so overwhelming
that it is recommended that you make several trips to the Louvre to
truly appreciate all that it has to offer to travelers.
Notre-Dame is another attraction that should be visited by all travelers
who visit Paris. Construction of this religious icon lasted from 1163-1345.
Although Notre-Dame is not the oldest or largest of the Parisian cathedrals
there is something about this particular cathedral that makes it the
most endearing and the most architecturally glorious. As if the cathedral
is not beautiful enough, visitors are also treated to an onsite archeological
museum that contains remnants of the previous buildings that have stood
on the grounds of Notre-Dame, scale models of the surrounding area and
ancient artifact.
The Eiffel Tower is one of the most well known symbols of Paris. This
well known monument was constructed and unveiled at the World Exhibition
of 1889 as a symbol of the technical era. Although natives of Paris
were not originally fond of this monument, it was saved from destruction
because it was believed that it would someday be useful as a radio antenna.
They had no way of knowing that this hulking structure would come to
be one of the most recognizable symbols of Paris as it is now.
Traveling to Paris is just a trip of a lifetime. This relatively small
city manages to contain a great deal of art and culture into its square
footage. There is so much to see and do in Paris and the beauty of this
city is that much of it can be done by foot, requiring absolutely no
transportation.

How
I get free airline tickets & travel on a shoestring
budget...
|
Myth:
Cheapest fares are always found online.
Truth:
Wrong. Many of the wholesale airline contracts are prohibited
from being marketed on a website. If you're only searching Expedia,
Orbitz, Travelocity and the like, you're not seeing all the
really discounted fares that are available.
Myth:
Buying direct from the airlines is good.
Truth:
Wrong again. You just eliminated the possibility of buying a
consolidator airfare, which is almost always cheaper than anything
the airlines offer, and, the cheapest airfare are sold
only by travel agencies.
Myth:
The airlines sell off unsold seats cheap at the last minute.
Truth:
This myth can cost you big time or the cancellation of your
plans if you're not willing to pay the exorbitant price the
airlines want to extort from you. Believing this myth proves
you have no clue about the airlines' distribution system.
