With this in mind, I searched for the best neighbourhoods, according to the reviews. Preferably of the aimless, flaneur variety. One thing that’s crucial to a good experience in Paris is a solid walk. Result: 19 points for the Left Bank, 36 for the Right.

Below are the ten best museums in Paris, with the full list of 255 here (scroll down a bit). There are 255 museums in Paris, with the art at Musée d’Orsay hitting top spot thanks to over 60,000 gleaming reviews. Here’s the overview, with my hope being that, like me, you will find some intriguing additions for your Paris to-do list. I am very aware that these rankings can be manipulated by voters – especially for restaurants and cafes – but I think it still gives us a much better idea than if I based it all on my own opinions 🙂 One last note before we get into the juicy stats and the even juicier result: This is all based on traveller reviews on the TripAdvisor website.
So even though it’s administratively listed in the 8th arrondissement on the Right Bank, I simply shared the points between both banks.Īnd what about landmarks on the islands between the two banks, the Ile Saint Louis and the Ile de la Cité? They’re technically both part of the arrondissements of the Right Bank, but I thought it was fairer to divide their points between both banks. For example, the Pont Alexandre III bridge ranks as the number four landmark in Paris… but it’s a bridge between the two river banks. This scoring system sometimes proved problematic. Everything after tenth spot has been ignored. And so on until the tenth place museum, which earns one point for its respective riverside. The second-highest ranked museum is the Musée de l’Orangerie, so nine points to the Right Bank. Then I scored them accordingly.įor example, the top-ranked Paris museum is the Musée d’Orsay (pictured below), giving the Left Bank ten points. I took the top ten ranked establishments for all five of these categories – based on visitor reviews – then noted which side of the river the actual spots were located. Then I mined through the data from TripAdvisor, where tens of thousands of travellers have reviewed all of the above, essentially giving us a traveller’s guide to the best of the best. They want the best: m useums, restaurants, cafes, landmarks, and neighbourhoods. So, I figured I had to start with what a tourist wants – and that’s pretty easy.

If you’re a sensible person and enjoy reasonable insights from intelligent people, be sure to listen to the podcast version of this story, where I discuss the topic with two authors, Right Banker Lindsey Tramuta and Left Banker John Baxter.
The Left Bank of Paris has six arrondissements, is known for jazz, the Latin quarter, and a long and historic string of writers, artists, and philosophers. There are 14 arrondissements (districts) and it’s perhaps known for the Marais and Montmartre neighbourhoods. The Right Bank of Paris is essentially everything to the north of the Seine River.
