Paris is a city known for its glamour, art and a football team full of iconic superstars. Aside from the classic touristic activities, here we have given you some other highly recommended ideas to make sure you have an unforgettable experience in the French capital city.
Go and see the legendry World Cup Lionel Messi in action alongside Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, who form part of the most formidable and iconic attacking trio in world football. Being able to see this front three in action is something that any football fan should experience while they still can. With Messi coming to the end of his career, time is running out to watch him live and be amazed in awe of the Argentinian magician’s skills. At the halfway point with 19 fixtures played, PSG unsurprisingly are in first place of Ligue 1 having won 15 of the games played and scored an incredible forty eight goals in this period. Going to watch a game at Le Parc des Princes is an experience which guarantees entertainment, goals and more often than not a victory for PSG.
Another tip for any true football fanatic is to do a stadium tour of PSG for just 15 euros. This grants you access behind the scenes to many places that ordinarily you would miss out on. Firstly, you can take a look at all the trophies on offer at the trophy wall to understand the history behind the club. In addition, you can walk out on the pitch as if you were a player to gain a different perspective, as well as being able to enter the press rooms where interviews are held. Best of all, you can enter the locker rooms and sit in the same place where stars like Messi and Mbappe sit on a home matchday. Quite an incredible opportunity right? Be quick and secure your chance to do a stadium tour of this famous ground.
For those who want to experience Paris on a budget, do not worry we have you covered. Not all activities need a financial cost and there are plenty of options in this city which do not involve spending money. One of these is to go and visit the permanent art collections at the museum of modern art, which include some spectacular collections. Although a five euro donation is greatly appreciated and welcomed it is not mandatory so therefore this is a great place to go if you are looking for a free activity. Weather dependant another great activity is to stroll through the huge Champ De Mars which goes from the military school all the way to Eiffel Tower, and is a beautiful green spot right in the heart of the city. An important fact is that on the first Sunday every month landmark museums such as the Louvre are free. However, be okay with having more crowds and less space due to this.
