Paris
Paris is walkable in sections rather than end to end, with each arrondissement holding its own market streets, cafés and museums. The Seine splits the city into a monumental right bank and a denser, older left bank, and the Métro closes the gaps. Four days covers the major museums and two or three neighbourhoods without rushing.
How long to stay
April to June and September to October for mild weather and shorter museum queues.
