Welcome to Paris

What is it about Paris? Aspiring artists want to hang out there, lovers want to propose there, foodies long to eat there. But let’s go beyond the classics – when you book a hostel or student acommodation in Paris you’ll also discover underground bars, digital arts centres and pop-up parks by the river. And since the city is enduringly popular with backpackers and students alike, there’s a great range of cheap and central places to stay to choose from. Discover the side of modern Paris the films don’t show. And if you still fancy dining on steak frites and stealing a kiss as the sun goes down over Montmartre, you can do that too. It's a win-win!

Les Berges de Seine

This string of quirky features and free attractions is bringing new life to a 1.5 mile stretch of the river, attracting a mix of backpackers, tourists and locals. Don’t miss the floating garden designed by artist Niki de Saint Phalle, composed of five islands connected by bridges.

Promenade Plantée

Head out of your dorm for a day of urban exploration. A precursor to New York’s High Line, the promenade is a green trail that runs for nearly five kilometres down a disused railway line, offering a remarkable multi-level exploration of the city.

Eiffel Tower

The first thing on many backpackers’ lists, La tour Eiffel has been offering remarkable views across the city since 1889. There are stairs to the first and second levels, but you’ll need to use the lift to reach the third-level observatory, where you’ll find a neat little champagne bar. Cheers!

Grands Boulevards

Stroll the long, wide boulevards designed by Baron Haussmann in the 19th century. Today they’re lined with large-scale shops and theatres. Don’t miss Les Passages Couvertes, historic covered retail areas that are as much an architectural experience as a shopping one.

Marché Mouffetard

If you’re after some fresh French food in a buzzing setting - and what student or backpacker isn’t? - then head to this busy cobbled street market. Stalls are piled high with fruit and veg, cheeses, charcuterie, cakes and more. Foodie heaven, and great for people-watching too.
