2 Days in Paris Itinerary: What to do in a weekend in Paris

Getting around Paris

Once in Paris, you’ll be wondering about the best ways to get from place to place. Note that the Metro might seem a little complex at first, so prepare yourself for that by downloading a map.

Metro will get you from place to place quickly and it’s cheap enough at €1.90 per journey, so it could be smart to familiarise with it.

A lot of visitors use the Uber app, which works out less costly than city cabs. If you don’t mind splashing out on this trip, consider hiring a shuttle driver for a day and take the stress out of navigation.

A budget option would be to take the bus, or hire a bicycle and get some exercise if you don’t mind braving the roads.

In my opinion, though, the best option to get around in Paris is to buy the Hop on Hop off bus ticket. The tickets are super cheap, and depending on the ticket you buy, you can use it for more than one day.

It will bring you to all the main attractions in Paris in a comfortable and easy way. As it is a two floors bus, you will be able to admire the city while the bus wanders through Paris.

If you are looking for a room with a view, you should check out Résidence Charles Floquet or if you prefer the Ibis line, you can go for Mercure Paris Centre Tour Eiffel located just 2 minutes walk from the Eiffel Tower.

But if you prefer a more classy option, you can choose Shangri-La Hotel Paris, with rooms that offer the best views from the Eiffel Tower.

What to do in 2 days in Paris

Wander around some world-famous museums

One thing Paris does well is museums, some of which are works of art in themselves. One such museum is The Centre Pompidou; it is absolutely wonderful to look at, with its vibrantly-colored exterior made up of exposed pipes and air ducts.

It’s a clever design as this created more expedition space inside. The art exhibition is the biggest and most revered in Europe, and you can also watch performances, films and relax with a book in the library.

Another of the city’s most famous museums is The Louvre. It’s the biggest museum in Paris and attracts international crowds all year around. Internally it’s a giant maze, and every level has different galleries. If you haven’t yet seen the Mona Lisa, this is where you’ll find her… nestled somewhere amidst 35,000 other artworks, artifacts, and sculptures!

Save time and money by buying your ticket here or getting a Paris Museum Pass. This helps you bypass the long queues outside the most popular museums.

Wine tasting at the Caves du Louvre

The Caves du Louvre is a mystical place where wine meets history. There’s much to see and more to learn while you sup on some of the finest wines in these renovated 18th-century cellars.

The caves are close to the Louvre Museum, so you can tie these experiences into one day easily enough. The Caves were originally built by Trudon, the sommelier of Louis XV.

The cellar of his private mansion once contained the finest wines for the king and his court.

Not only will you explore the 600 m² of vaulted wine cellars and taste some delicious local wines; you’ll learn about how to make quality wine too. You can even make your own wine label and take it away on a bottle if you wish.

Climb the Eiffel Tower

No Parisien trip would be complete without a venture up the Eiffel Tower. The tower is quite a sight, and as one of the world’s most iconic landmarks, it’s quite a treat to see at up close.

Made from the wrought iron lattice, it looms large at 300 ft high on the Champ de Mars (on the Seine River’s southern bank).

If you can get up it, even better, but you will need to reserve a spot in advance as it is incredibly popular. It’s a great idea, as the views you’ll get at the top are going to make your day.

Explore the Port St Ouen flea market

Bargain hunters who want a souvenir or two from their Paris trip can’t go wrong with Port St Ouen flea market – it’s the largest flea market in the world!

Situated at the edge of the city, it is chock-full souvenirs, unusual vintage clothing items, a whole host of other wares, and plenty of antiques.

Retro fashionistas will have a field day here, given that Paris is (and always has been) the fashion capital of the world.

Visit the Triangle d’Or

If you want to indulge in a bit of retail therapy, you’re in one of the best cities in the world for a spot of high-fashion. The Triangle d’Or (Golden Triangle) is the popular choice for an unbeatable range of fashion, jewelry, eyewear, and accessories.
