If you are going to Paris, first of all look at the tourist map of Paris in order to more clearly imagine where the main attractions of Paris are located and in general the map will allow you to create approximate routes around the city. We have specially prepared a map on which you will find the most famous sights of Paris and, in addition, we have indicated the approximate locations of Paris metro stations. Of course, not all monuments, cathedrals and museums are indicated on this map, but for those who are traveling to Paris for the first time and for just a few days, this map will be quite enough.

If we talk about walking routes in Paris, we can distinguish 4 main tourist routes. We have created a map based on Google Maps where you can find recommended tourist destinations. This is what our map looks like:

You can open the full-scale map here at this link, and here is a little more detail on each route.

I would like to note right away that you should not pay too much attention to the indicated length of the route. Why? It is very unlikely that you will want to go exactly as indicated and not walk around some cathedral or look into some picturesque Parisian street. For the same reason, you shouldn’t calculate exactly how long it will take you to complete the entire route, it’s almost unpredictable :)

Route No. 1(in blue on the map): From Notre Dame Cathedral to Montparnasse Tower. You will explore the islands, stroll through the Latin Quarter, visit the Luxembourg Gardens and be able to look at the panorama of Paris from the observation deck of the Montparnasse Tower

Route No. 2(highlighted in red): You will see the City Hall of Paris, look at the Pompidou building, walk along the famous Rue de Rivoli to the Louvre, walk in the Tuileries Garden, see the Place de la Concorde and along the Champs Elysees you will reach the Arc de Triomphe.

Route No. 3(green on the map) originates from Trocadero Square, from where a stunning view of the symbol of Paris - the Eiffel Tower - opens. You will climb the Tower, walk along the Champs de Mars, admire the views of the Louvre from the opposite embankment, visit the Orsay Museum and then through the Pont des Arts you will reach the Arch of Defense near the Louvre itself.

Route No. 4(blue line on the map): We haven’t forgotten about the Opera, from where you start along the Boulevard des Capucines to the Madeleine Church, then you will see the Church of the Holy Trinity, and then you will plunge into bourgeois Paris - you will see the Moulin Rouge and the Parisian Red Light District. After this, you can take a break from the somewhat shocking sights by climbing the Hill to the very steps of the Sacré-Coeur Basilica and admiring the stunning views of Paris.

To be honest, it is best to allocate a whole day for each route. If you don’t have that much time or opportunity to do everything on foot, don’t worry, most tourists walk only the first day :) Then they use either the metro or excursion buses. Smart tourists immediately choose a bus :)
