With too many choices of cities around Europe, Paris could be a nice starting point – at least it was for me. From Notre Dame, Eiffel, to Paris Disneyland, you can get around by the underground metro. For art lovers, Louvre would require one full day. At the entrance, you will find the inverted pyramid that captured Dan Brown’s imagination in The Da Vinci Code. After day full of brain food in Louvre, recharge your energy along the river Seine. There are floating restaurants, discos, cafes, even free benches where you can enjoy the same view with your own wine, bread and cheese from a local grocer. There are choices to sail along Seine. You can either take a guided tour, or hop on the Batobus with eight stops on both sides of the river Seine.
Visiting Eiffel Tower is amazing both during the day and even at night. On the tower, there are telescopes to see all parts of Paris from over 300 metre above. If you are visiting the gallery, try find out how many kilometre is Eiffel Tower from Jakarta and other capital cities of the world! If you fancy something different, visit Eiffel Tower at night. It is normally open until 11:45 pm. After dark, the entire tower is lit by 336 light projectors and 20,000 sparkling After dark, the entire tower is cloaked in the warm glow of 336 light projectors and 20,000 sparkling strobe lights.
Another idea for romantic Paris is watching the sunset in front of Basilique du Sacré-Cœur. The church on the summit of Montmartre – a 130 metre-high hill in the north of Paris, famous as the set of 2001 movies Moulin Rouge and Amelie. You can either climb the steps of Rue Foyatier, or take the Funiculaire de Montmartre to get to the top. A number of famous artists such as Dalí, Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec had studios or worked around the community of Montmartre.
