Hej! I am an American grad student studying and living in Sweden. Being a grad student, I have perfected the act of budget traveling. I have a fierce passion for cute dogs, film festivals, coffee and traveling. Join me as I work towards my personal goal of visiting all 28 EU countries before I graduate in June 2019! Feel free to pop over to my personal blog, Little Mouse. Big World, to read more about my travels while balancing grad school life.
Paris is one of the gems of Europe, with all its culture, food, shopping and endless wonders. The city is always changing and morphing, so there is no way to see the same Paris twice. Here is a compiled list of things that could easily be fit into a short 48-hour trip to Paris, all while staying on that tight student budget.
Another wonderful neighborhood to wander around is Montmartre. There lies the famous Moulin Rouge as well as the beautiful grand white church, Sacre Coeur. The wonderful gilded painted ceilings are just indescribable. If you visit Notre Dame, it is very interesting to see the stark difference between the two. Sacre Coeur is free to enter and is also a functioning church, so again be respectful of any services that may be occurring during your visit. If you’re in the area and want a sweet snack (you deserve one after climbing all the stairs up to Sacre Coeur), visit Biscuiterie de Montmartre (16 Rue Norvins). You will not be disappointed in their range of selection of delicious cookies and candies. These also make nice gifts if placed in one of the tins they sell in the store.
No matter how you spend your time in Paris, you will have a wonderful time. There is an abundance of things to do, shops to wander into, and cafes to people watch in. Enjoy Paris!
One could easily spend a whole afternoon walking all the winding streets of the Latin Quarter. It is one of the most iconic neighborhoods in Paris. The medieval streets paired with the modern French culture flows perfectly. You can pretend to be a student at the Sorbonne, one of the most well-known universities in the world, and enjoy a long coffee break at one of the many cafes. Visit the Pantheon where all the most famous French men and women are buried. There is also an extremely impressive and mesmerizing pendulum in the center of the Pantheon to prove that the world is indeed round. Admission to the Pantheon is 7 euros for non-Europeans 18-26 and free to those under 18 or EEA residents 18-25. Simply show valid identification at the entrance for free admission. No visit to the Latin Quarter is complete without a trip to the famous Shakespeare and Company bookstore. The store is known for its quirkiness. If you’re tight on luggage space but still need to bring back some souvenirs, buy a few canvas bags from the store. They are relativity inexpensive (8 euros, if I remember correctly), can be packed tightly into a suitcase, and everyone can find a use for one.
