Paris in 2 Days DIY Walking Tour
Distance: Day 1: 5.3km > 3 miles (4-12 hours); Day 2: 4.1km > 2.5 miles (2-8 hours).
The average visitor to Paris walks a fairly significant distance each day (which can be upwards of 8-10 miles/13-16 km per day). Some visitors can walk even farther though.
This is simply due to the fact that Paris is a very walkable city – with many visitor attractions being within easy walking distance of each other.
Suddenly, that 6 miles/9.3 km (the combined distance of the “Paris in 2 Days DIY Walking Tour”) doesn’t seem so far after all.
In fact, it’s actually shorter.
But how can that be? Especially when the route actually includes MORE Paris attractions.
The answer is not in walking farther in Paris – but in walking SMARTER.
Walk less. See more. Leaving more time & energy to actually enjoy Paris.
I was lucky enough to live in Paris for seven years (“pre-wheelchair days”). So I know the easiest way to see as many Paris attractions as possible in a limited time period; the easiest route between the most popular Paris attractions; and the best way to negotiate the most-crowded locations.
The Walk Paris in 2 Days DIY Walking Tour covers a relatively flat & downhill distance of just over 9km (nearly 6 miles) over 2 days in Paris.
And, depending on how many Paris attractions you want to visit, and how many amazing Paris photographs you want to take, each day of the Paris in 2 Days DIY Walking Tour can take anywhere from 4 to 12 hours.
If your time in Paris is very limited though, you should do the Paris in 1 Day DIY Walking Tour instead. This will allow you to see as much of Paris in just 1 day (“see” only though, you just won’t have the time to visit more than one or two of the most-popular visitor attractions in Paris).
Points of Interest (Day 1): Palais de Chaillot, Eiffel Tower, École Militaire, Les Invalides, Musée Rodin, Pont Alexandre III, Grand Palais & Petit Palais.
Points of Interest (Day 2): Arc de Triomphe, Champs-Élysées, Place de la Concorde, Jardin des Tuileries, the Louvre Museum, and finally ending up seeing the Paris sunset from the Pont des Arts.
There’s a LOT to see and do when you follow the Paris in 2 Days DIY Walking Tour.
