The Pompidou Centre ranks alongside London’s Tate Modern and New York’s Museum of Modern Art in holding the world’s finest collections of modern art. Recently overhauled, it remains a must-see as much for its 1970s high-tech, skeleton-like design as its mind-scrambling works. Start on the top floor and work your way down. The Centre also provides some of the finest views of Paris, a library, cinemas, shopping areas and restaurant in a corner of the city brimming with street artists, cafés, boutiques and joie de vivre.
Nearest Metro: Hôtel de Ville. Open Wednesday - Monday 11 am - 9 pm (last entry for museums 8 pm). Sometimes opens until 11 pm on Thursdays. Free entry on the first Sunday of the month.
