The Louvre is clearly the most popular of all the art museums in the city. Get there on a busy summer day and you may be waiting a while just to get into the building. But before you do, make sure to take a good look at I.M. Pei's glass pyramid, a structure that still evokes strong emotions among the citizens of Paris years after its creation. It seems as if half of them are inspired by it, the other half revolted by it. Whatever you do, do not get into a serious conversation about it! And one more piece of advice: don't spend all of your time staring at the “Mona Lisa.” The Lourve has too good of a collection to focus on just one piece of art.

Of course, Paris has a lot more than just art. It is pretty much a given that you will visit the Eiffel Tower at some point during your visit, the most popular tourist destination in the city and perhaps its most quintessential landmark. The panoramic views from the top of the tower will be the best in the entire city. But even if you are too scared to make it all the way to the top, at least go to the first floor and mail out some postcards at the post office to all of your friends and family to make them jealous of the fact that you are in Paris and they are not!

Of course, this only scratches the surface of what you can do in this magical city. So take a Paris apartment and explore the rest the city of lights has to offer,  La Cite des Sciences et de l'Industrie, the Arc de Triomphe and the Parc de la Villete are just some of the many things to visit on your vacation. Your sightseeing is limited only by your time and your imagination. For more information Get Your Guide to Paris Tours
