Six
attractions in Paris draw a whopping 23.5 million visitors
yearly. With the hundreds of museums and monuments in the
grand City of Light, take this short list to be sure you catch
the best spots.
1. Eiffel
Tower
This
is one of the world's most recognizable monuments (and the
best-known monument in all of Europe), and it is
breathtaking to behold. Be sure to take the lift for a
view of the city. This attraction alone drew 6.2 million
visitors in 2002, according to Paris Office of Tourism
statistics.
2. Louvre
Museum
Arguably
the world's most famous art museum, the Louvre's most
popular piece is Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa." It was
established in 1793, and is one of the oldest museums in
Europe. Its collections spans from the birth of great
civilizations up to the 19th century. A whopping 5.7
million tourists visited the museum in 2002.
3. Centre
Pompidou
The funky
and hip Centre Pompidou features a wonderful collection of
modern art within its creatively designed building. It also
features a cinema, concerts and children's activities. The
Centre attracts 5.5 million visitors annually.
4. Cite des
Sciences at de l'Industrie
This fun,
hands-on science museum attracts 2.5 million visitors each
year, with its cool exhibits on anatomy, biology, you name
it.
5. Musee
d'Orsay
This museum
may not be the massive size of Louvre, but its Impressionist
collection is among the best in the world. The museum is
housed in a former rail station, and has the atmosphere and
personality to match. The Musee d'Orsay attracts 2.1 million
visitors annually.
6. Arc de
Triomphe
Climb
to the top for one of the best views of Paris. No, it
doesn't go as high as the Eiffel Tower. But since the city
is relatively flat, the vantage point at this height is
actually better. The arch brings in 1.4 million visitors
each year.
Denmark has
recently started Green Card Scheme where it is possible to be
granted a three-year residence permit for the purpose of
seeking work, and subsequently working, in Denmark. A
residence and work permit under the Greencard scheme is issued

designed to assess the likelihood that the applicant will be
