Being in Paris and not visit the museums of the city is the same as not having even set foot in Paris. The top tip is to get the "Carte Musee et Monuments", a kind of free pass to over 60 museums and monuments there. The price varies with the amount of days you want to spend visiting places like the Louvre, the Centre George Pompidou, the museums of Picasso and Salvador Dali and the somber Les Catacombes, for example, but if you really want a ring, bookfive days only for this cultural immersion. Worth every penny of the approximately 165 euros for the ticket you invest valid for this period. If the money is short, buy the ticket 41 euros daily.What's more, the first Sunday of each month, admission is free in many city attractions, including the Louvre.

With its 300,000 works of art, the Louvre museum worth three days of visitation. Yes, there is the scene of "The Da Vinci Code, but is not necessarily what you think about it when confronted with the Venus de Milo or the Mona Lisa. Take time and patience, after all, can you understand that you will not be the only person to want to see the works, right? Thousands of tourists from around the world competing for a place in the museum that only opens on Tuesdays.

Can you tell which is the most visited library in the world? Is the Centre George Pompidou, a fun colorful building which still houses one of the most comprehensive film libraries in Europe.Another must-visit.

More tips? La Villette, for those who enjoy natural sciences and even rides that can border on the bizarre as Egouts Paris (yes, that is what his French saying, a walk through the sewers of the city) or Les Catacombes (catacombs) with right to all types of human bones. Gotta like it.And since we're in the mood somewhat morbid, how about a visit to the cemetery Pere Lachaise? Cemetery? Yes, but rolls up to picnic there, among the graves of celebrities like Jim Morrison, Moliere, Allan Kardec, Oscar Wilde, among others. Finally, if you do not waste time looking for the hunchback, Notre Dame is excellent requested. A descent into the crypt shows the first stones used in the construction of Paris, still in the Roman Empire.
