For some travellers, Paris is the ultimate destination. A city of romance, beauty and delicious pastries. One beaming with history, charming culture and a love for the arts. Its iconic Eiffel Tower and River Seine may seem like a million miles and dollars away, but at Student Flights our flights to Paris from Sydney can make a trip to the City of Light possible.

At the top of Paris’ must see attractions is of course the Eiffel Tower, the city’s most famous landmark. Originally built as the entrance of the 1889 World’s Fair, the lattice tower is now a tourist hot spot, with travellers from all around the world snapping photos and climbing the stairs and lift to take in the panoramic views from the top. Head to the tower on a sunny clear day but make sure you get there early – the line to reach the top of the tower is always long.

The city’s other notable monument is the Arc de Triomphe, located at the busy round about that connects the famous Champs-Elysees boulevard and the Palace de la Concorde. The intricate monument was inaugurated in 1836 and honours those who fought and died in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Like the Eiffel Tower, it is possible to climb the arc, though with over 280 steps and no lift option, the climb can be tiring. If you do wish to climb the Arc de Triomphe , head there early to beat the crowds.
