3 days in Paris: the perfect first-timer itinerary

Three days is enough for the icons plus one neighborhood done properly.

The itinerary

Day 1: Louvre (morning) → Tuileries → Eiffel Tower at sunset. Day 2: Montmartre + Sacré-Cœur → Seine walk → Latin Quarter dinner. Day 3: Musée d'Orsay → Le Marais → Luxembourg Gardens.

Budget note: $150–$250/day mid-range (hotel, food, metro, one paid sight).

Pro tips

Book the Louvre and Eiffel Tower timed entries ahead
The museum pass pays off at 3+ sights
Stay near a metro hub, not the sights themselves
