Built from 1969 until 1972, this building was the tallest in France, from the moment it was built up to the year 2011. Tour Montparnasse may not be much to look at from the outside. After all, it shares the skyline with the Eiffel Tower and is in the same city as architectural gems like the Louvre, Notre-Dame, Sacre Coeur and the Panthéon. And the SNCF train station in its foundation doesn't have much to admire, either.

It's not until you get to the 56th observation floor that visiting Tour Montparnasse becomes entirely worth it. The view from the Eiffel Tower is wonderful, sure – but the view from Tour Montparnasse has the Eiffel Tower in it! And on a nice day, the rooftop terrace on top of all 59 floors has a 360-degree view of Paris that is nothing short of breathtaking.

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!

We were able to get into several museums bypassing the long lines. The second day was capped off with a boat ride down the Seine which was included I the pass.
