It may not be the first iconic structure that comes to mind when you think of Paris, but to Parisians the Palais Garnier - Opera National is a beloved symbol of the importance placed on the arts in the City of Light. Completed in 1875 per architect Charles Garnier's specifications, it has been home to the Opéra de Paris and ballet performances since then – as well as the setting for the novel, film and musical, The Phantom of the Opera.

Today, visitors climb up the Grand Staircase, see the Phantom's famous chandelier hanging from the Chagall-painted ceiling and learn the interesting history of one of Paris's major sites.

Doing what: Paris Pass

Intra-city travel within Paris is obnoxiously expensive! This provides you with Metro passes which you can utilize and save up on a lot of money! If you are not looking to splurge on travel within the city, then you definitely need to get these passes. Additionally, you get Skip The Line passes to various historical sights in the city which is a life saver as some of the tourist attractions can be very, very crowded! Also, you get a Bateaux Parisian boat ride which is worth taking!
