What to skip in Paris
Built from every Paris verdict we publish. Each links to the full reasoning and what to do instead.
We have no Skip pages on file for Paris yet; the verdicts so far all earn their keep.
Only if it fits your trip
- Is a Versailles day trip from Paris worth it?: It depends: the estate rewards travelers who can give it a full day, book the Palace's timed entry slot ahead, and go on a weekday, while a short Paris trip or a Monday visit, when the Palace is closed, argues for skipping it.
- Is Disneyland Paris worth it?: It depends: travelers who give the resort one or two full days and book ahead describe it more positively, while a rushed single day on a short Paris trip, peak dates, or expectations set by the Florida or California parks draw the complaints.
- Is going to the top of the Eiffel Tower worth it?: It depends: the official summit ticket costs more and often sells out online, but travelers who book ahead call the 276 meter view worth it, while others find the second floor view is already enough.
- Is the Moulin Rouge show worth it?: It depends: the costumes and can-can win praise and the later show costs less, but dated acts and the price lead some travelers to call it not worth it.
- Is the Paris Museum Pass worth it?: Depends: the pass pays off once your itinerary covers four or more paid museums and monuments in the same 2, 4 or 6 day window, and it is a loss for a light one or two-stop visit.
