Paris is one of the world's most romantic cities, which is perfect for a long weekend break. The Parisian capital is full of glitter and glamour, but also has a laid-back ambience which is felt in its bohemian districts like Montmartre or the Latin Quartier. Furthermore, it is hard to compete with Paris in terms of the number of its iconic monuments: the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, the Notre Dame Cathedral, Moulin Rouge, Champs Elysées and the Arch of Triumph. The boat trips on the River Seine can also be memorable, especially at night. If you come with children, Disney Land is only 32 km away from the city center of Paris. While in Paris, you can also experience a day trip to Versailles, which is about 30 minutes by car from the City of Lights.
