Open daily from 10 AM to 10:30 PM

👀 Why it’s breathtaking:
Standing proud at the heart of 12 converging avenues, the Arc de Triomphe is both a historic monument and a prime lookout spot. Climb 284 steps (worth every one) to the top for 360° views of Paris, including the Champs-Élysées, Eiffel Tower, and Sacré-Cœur in the distance. The intricate carvings and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier remind you of the stories etched into France’s past.

💡 Tip:
Arrive just before sunset to catch the city bathing in golden light. Use the underground passage to safely reach the Arc—don’t cross the roundabout! Best photos? Stand at the Champs-Élysées facing the Arc for a dramatic shot. At night, it’s beautifully lit and less crowded.
