💡 Routing tip: Base yourself in 1–2 central areas, not one hotel per night. Le Marais or Saint-Germain give the easiest metro access to everything on this list. Book Louvre, Eiffel Tower and Versailles tickets online well ahead — walk-up queues can eat half a day in peak season.

❓
FAQ
Is 5 days enough for Paris?
5 days is enough for a focused trip covering the major landmarks — the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre-Dame, Montmartre — plus a Versailles day trip. You'll need to pick highlights rather than seeing every museum, and skip a second day trip like Giverny.
Is 7 days enough for Paris?
7 days is the sweet spot for most first-time visitors, allowing a second major museum (Musée d'Orsay), the Latin Quarter and Le Marais, and a relaxed Versailles day trip without feeling rushed.
How much does a 7 day Paris trip cost from India?
A 7-day mid-range Paris trip from India costs approximately ₹1,15,000 per person, including flights, hotels, food, local transport, activities, and the Schengen visa. Budget travellers can do it for around ₹85,000.
Should I book museum tickets in advance?
Yes — more so than most destinations. The Louvre, Eiffel Tower and Versailles all sell out timed-entry slots days to weeks ahead in peak season (June–August). Walk-up queues can run 1–3 hours without a pre-booked slot.
