The Arc de Triomphe is Paris's iconic 19th-century monument honoring military victories, located at the center of Place Charles de Gaulle. You can climb the 284 steps to the top for sweeping 360-degree views of the city and the twelve radiating avenues below, or explore the small museum inside dedicated to the monument's history. Be prepared for significant crowds—this is one of Paris's most visited attractions, especially during peak hours.
