Consider that there are about 24 million or so people who visit Paris as tourists, mainly to experience the ambiance and enjoy viewing the tourist attractions. From a list of hundreds of remarkable places to visit and monuments to gaze upon, we have chosen five that are probably the most popular and well-known. We shall now briefly look at five Parisian tourist destinations that are arguably the most well-known and most closely associated with the City of Light, as travel cognoscenti would refer to it.

The Eiffel Tower. If you have not heard of the Eiffel Tower, then probably you have been living in a cave all your life - everybody knows what a beautiful monument this is. There is no landmark in Europe that has a mien so simultaneously romantic, historic and aesthetic in nature. Whether you associate the sight as the Cruise and Holmes proposal spot or the main feature of countless Paris postcards, it is the breathtaking view from this monument that is the most talked about.

The Arc de Triomphe. While the Eiffel Tower is much taller and more famous, this attraction still gives you a city view worth remembering. This destination is visited by millions of people each year who come here to enjoy the view from up there.

Louvre Museum. There is a good reason why this museum is among the world's most famous, not to mention one of the world's most reputable - this is because in here you can find Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, the world's most beloved and recognizable painting, as well as a horn of plenty of artifacts dating back generations, or even centuries, relics of eras you can only read about in history books. With a history that dates back to 1793, the Louvre is one of the oldest museums located in Europe.

Centre Pompideu. This building is, in itself, art nouveau, which is generally what people come to this tourist attraction for. This is not just a place for art buffs to visit, but also a place for families, with the myriad activities offered to people of all ages. This is yet another place visited by millions of tourists.

Cite des Sciences. If you want to while your time away feeding your scientific knowledge, you will enjoy viewing the exhibits located in this interactive museum. The range of exhibits runs the gamut from anatomy to zoology, and the hands-on exhibits are not only educational and informative, but amusing and entertaining even for the most jaded adult viewer.
