24 Hours in Paris – A Layover Itinerary

24 hours in Paris can be a completely different experience but I’m sure you will love the city just like I do! No matter if you visit Paris as a girls‘ trip, a couple or as a solo traveler, Paris is always worth it.

Travel Tips for Paris

While Paris is an extremely walkable city, not everything is as close as it is in Rome or Venice. Thus, you should definitely plan some time for transportation. This can be either a metro ticket or a rented bicycle.

If you are in Paris for the first time, I’d strongly recommend that you forget the plan to see everything as soon as possible, because you won’t see everything Paris has to offer in just 24 hours. If you’re reading this post and you plan to visit Paris not as a layover, this itinerary will be more what you’re searching for.

By the way, I also listed some important basic rules and travel tips in this article.

What do to and see in Paris in 24 hours

Morning

See some of the secret spots to view the Eiffel Tower – Since you’re in Paris for not more than 24 Hours, splurge on these Eiffel Tower views as long as you can. You should definitely see Pont de Bir-Hakeim, Rue de New York, Rue de Camoëns, and the Trocadéro as they are all perfectly connected and easy to reach.
Take some Instagram worthy pictures at Pont Alexandre III – this is probably one of my favorite views in whole Paris. Pont Alexandre III always fascinates me with its beautiful architecture.
Admire the Hôtel des Invalides – Since you’re practically right next to it, why not admire the Hôtel des Invalides? It’s a beautiful historical site with so much history.

Afternoon

Walk down the Champs Elysées – Champs Elysées is a stretch of lane extending from the Arc de Triomphe to the Place de la Concorde. It’s a popular shopping street with the most instgrammable cafés. Shop or window shop here and grab a bite to eat.
Be wowed by the Arc de Triomphe – When I saw this beautiful building for the first time, I was absolutely speechless. This size, the beauty and the view are definitely worth it.
Notre Dame de Paris – If you still have time, take the Metro to get to the Notre Dame de Paris. Even though it’s currently under construction, it’s still worth a visit.
Indulge on Parisian pastries – Last, but not least, buy some Parisian pastries and enjoy.
