Things to do in Paris

Top experiences to book and when

Paris is best known for its museums, followed by river cruises and guided tours, with observation decks and historic sites rounding out the most-booked activities. Demand drifts through the year — quieter around January and February, picking up from spring and peaking in November.

Best activities by traveller type

Families will find museums and cruises especially convenient, with museums offering an easy, budget-friendly way to fill a day and cruises suiting relaxed group outings. Couples tend to enjoy tours and observation decks for romantic vistas and curated experiences. Solo travellers and small groups can mix museums and historical-site visits for flexible, lower-cost options and add a guided tour when they want richer context.

What travellers from Singapore should book ahead

Most travellers from Singapore book activities about two weeks in advance on average, though the earliest planners reserve around a month out; this matters most in the busiest period of November. For trips of a week or so there's room to be flexible and pick up tickets a day or two before, but if you travel in November it’s wise to secure popular experiences earlier.

How the categories compare on price and fit

Museums are the easiest, entry-level way into Paris’s attractions and sit at the lower price point, making them a great starting place for budget-conscious visitors. Cruises and historical sites offer mid-range options that suit groups and sightseers wanting a structured outing. Observation decks are the priciest and show the widest spread of prices, ranging from premium single-ticket experiences to higher-end packages — they’re the choice for travellers who prioritise views and don’t mind paying more for the panorama.
