Before planning: Transport, prices, admission, accessibility, seasonal schedules and tour packages may change. Verify details with the attraction or provider. This is an independent planning guide, not a firsthand review.

1. Day 1 — Seine and central Paris

Explore riverside landmarks and bridges, then choose a walk through the historic core and a relaxed dinner.

Planning note

Book any observation deck or river cruise separately after checking conditions.

2. Day 2 — Louvre and neighboring streets

Choose a museum time and spend the rest of the day in nearby gardens, cafés or smaller galleries.

Planning note

The Louvre is large: select a few wings in advance instead of trying to see everything.

3. Day 3 — Montmartre or a family attraction

Pick neighborhood exploration for a city-focused visit, or use this day for a major family attraction outside central Paris.

Planning note

Disneyland Paris warrants a dedicated day and transport planning.
