Paris Olympics 2024 | A Guide to the Olympic Games and Other Things to Do in Paris

One hundred years after it last hosted the Olympics, all eyes will again be on Paris as it hosts the 2024 Summer Olympics from July 26-August 11. The City of Lights is one of the most popular destinations anytime, but it will shine even brighter as the world’s best athletes take center stage.

With more than 9.7 million spectators expected to attend more than 329 events during the 19-day event, travelers need to plan now to ensure a great time not only attending the Olympics but also enjoying what is arguably the most beautiful city on earth.

While my favorite way to see Paris is to wake up and see where the day takes me, that spontaneity will not work during the Olympics. If you plan to attend the Games, you must put your planner hat on for everything from hotels to game tickets, restaurants and museums. Setting your plans in stone in advance is essential, so start reserving now.
