16th December 2011

Paris is one of the world’s most popular cities but it can be expensive when you get there. But did you know there are plenty of sights and things to do in Paris that won’t cost you a penny.

Notre Dame Cathedral

You’ll struggle to find a more beautiful building in the world. This stunning piece of architecture hosts free concerts throughout the year and it doesn’t cost a penny to walk inside and look around. 

The Seine River

Take a stroll along one of the most famous rivers in the world, which runs through the heart of Paris. It has featured in countless films and many artists have captured its beauty over the years.

The Eiffel Tower

Of course it isn’t free to ride to the top of the tower but this architectural delight can be admired from below or almost anywhere in the city. Its light shows are spectacular at this time of year.

Christmas Trees

Every year Paris erects thousands of Christmas trees, transforming the capital into a giant winter wonderland. 270 fir trees are placed at the roundabout of the Champs-Elysées and 180 at the Place de la Bastille.
