Top 5 Landmarks For The Best View of Paris | France
Paris has many famous landmarks throughout the city, but only some with give you the most amazing view of Paris. Here are the top 5 attractions in Paris that allow you to see the best view of the city of lights.
1. The Eiffel Tower
Located in L’ecole Militaire, the chic end of Paris, it is one of the most famous tourist destinations. At 324 metres tall, it will certainly give you a fantastic panoramic view of the city. There are three levels to The Eiffel tower and the entrance to the top is under just 14 euros per person (adult). If you are feeling peckish, you can have a meal at one of the restaurants on the first or second level, but it will be pricey as you are paying for location.

2. The Arc de Triomphe
Located on the top end of Charles de Gaulle Etoile, the terrace of the Arc has great views of Paris. From one end you can see all the way down Les Champs Elysees and right behind you can see down to La Defense. It is free to enter, you just have to pick a clear day as there is no protection from the rain at the top. You might like to go at night as the Eiffel Tower puts on a sparkle 10 minute light show every hour on the hour.

3. The Grande Arche, La Defense
The business district situated just over the Pont de Neuilly is home to not just the headquarters of many corporations, but also to The Grande Arche. It was built in 1989 to market the bicentenary of the French Revolution and now attracts thousands of tourists each year who visit the 110 metre roof from where you can get a panoramic view of Paris. On a clear day, you can see all the way to the to the Stade de France in the north. There is also a restaurant on the top floor where diners can enjoy the view of Paris.

4. Sacre Coeur
Climbing the stairs (or taking the elevator) up to Sacre Coeur is well worth it once you see the view. It is amazing and takes your breath away, even if you might be a regular visitor to the place. The Dome of the Sacre Coeur is the second highest viewpoint after the Eiffel Tower and you can see everything, from the Paris apartments to the Boulevard Haussmann and of course La Tour Eiffel.

5. Montparnasse Tower
This is probably one of the least known attractions from where you can see all of Paris. It is 210 metres high and was the tallest skyscraper in France until 2011 when Tour First was built. On the top floor is a restaurant and for those who are watching the pennies, they also offer a delicious hot chocolate for under 5 euros. To visit the terrace, it costs 7 euros, so nearly half the price of the Eiffel Tower.

There are many places to stay when you are over in Europe on holiday. Many people pay for hotels and hostels, but renting apartments in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin gives you more flexibility and can also work out cheaper too.
