Welcome to Europe's most magical destination

Whether you want to view the ever-changing street art on Rue Dénoyezor, venture to opulent Versailles or learn to cook from the masters at La Cuisine, your DK Eyewitness travel guide makes sure you experience all that Paris has to offer.

A treasure trove of things to see and do, the French capital is packed full of world-famous palaces, museums and galleries. But Parisians know that there is more to life than glitz and glamour. Simpler pleasures, such as stalls overflowing with fresh produce, quirky old bookshops and centuries-old cafés, are offered in abundance.

Our updated guide brings Paris to life, transporting you there like no other travel guide does with expert-led insights, trusted travel advice, detailed breakdowns of all the must-see sights, photographs on practically every page, and our hand-drawn illustrations which place you inside the city's iconic buildings and neighbourhoods. We've also worked hard to make sure our information is as up-to-date as possible following the COVID-19 outbreak.
