They don't call it the city of lights for nothing. Paris is the most popular tourist destination in the world--and one of the most romantic. Take a stroll along the Seine or gaze down at the sparkling city from atop the Eiffel Tower and you'll see why. Aside from the historical and architectural landmarks, you'll find plenty of haute couture, artistic masterpieces, bohemian cafes, wild shows and upscale hotels. Of course, one of the best year-round attractions is the food.
