Paris Attractions Map: 40 Must-See Places in One Interactive Map

Updated September 2026 · 14 min read

Paris skyline with the Eiffel Tower

This is a working Paris attractions map, not a list of landmarks pretending to be one. It plots 40 useful stops across both banks of the Seine so you can see which places belong in the same sightseeing day.

The map uses OpenStreetMap and is free to explore. For offline planning, the printable version turns the same numbered pins into a Paris overview, district close-ups and a checklist.

Printable Paris PDF map — €2.99

A numbered city map, detailed district pages and a checklist of all 40 places. No app or mobile data needed.

Tickets and booking priorities

Book the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Sainte-Chapelle and Paris Catacombs before popular dates. Advance booking is also sensible for the Arc de Triomphe terrace, Musée de l'Orangerie and Fondation Louis Vuitton.

Notre-Dame Cathedral reopened in December 2024 and cathedral entry is free. The Centre Pompidou's main building is closed for major renovation, with reopening planned for 2030, so treat its pin as a location reference rather than an open museum visit.

Check official attraction websites before paying. This page does not treat third-party availability as official availability.

The attraction cards below show the booking priority next to every place, with a ticket link where booking matters.

How to use the Paris map

  1. Zoom into one district rather than treating all 40 pins as one itinerary.
  2. Choose one timed-entry anchor, then add nearby free places.
  3. Use the Metro for long jumps between distant areas.
  4. Check official websites before travel because closures and reservation systems change.
  5. Choose the printable map for numbered district pages and an offline checklist.
