Travel & Hospitality Awards - Europe 2022

The Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, the Notre-Dame de Paris… France’s cosmopolitan capital is home
to some of the most iconic sights in the entire world and often tops the list of the most-visited cities in
the world. It’s easy to see why.
PARIS |
THE CITY
OF LIGHT
Getting In & Around
Like any key world city, Paris is home to multiple airports.
The Charles de Gaulle International Airport is probably most
familiar to tourists and well connected globally through many
major air carriers. Orly International Airport, on the other
hand, is more focused on domestic routes and short-haul
European routes. Beauvais Airport, the smallest of the three,
is used primarily by low-cost carriers.
We think the easiest way to get to Paris is by train. You can
hop onboard the Eurostar or a Trans-European Train and be
there within a few hours from most neighbouring European
cities. A Navigo card will get you on the famous Paris Metro
that connects all parts of the city.
Things to See & Do
You could head over to the Louvre Museum and join the
crowds gazing at the world’s most famous painting, the
Mona Lisa. Then take a stroll west along the wide Avenue
des Champs-Élysées to the chic shopping district of the
8 th Arrondissement. Finally, head over to Montmartre with
its village feel and spectacular
nightlife.
Dining
Parisians practically
invented café culture,
so make sure you visit
a couple during your
stay. A great place for
people-watching, you
can tuck into a colourful
macaron while downing
an espresso or two at Le
Voltigeur, on rue des Francs
Bourgeois.
Accommodation
A stone’s throw from the Moulin Rouge is the ultra-cool Kube
Hotel. Expect stunning modern interiors and one of the best
cocktail bars in the area.
