About City
Paris: A Global Capital of Culture, Commerce, and Connectivity
Paris, the capital and most populous city of France, serves as the heart of the Île-de-France region, also known as the Paris Region. As of January 1, 2023, the city and its surrounding area had an estimated population of 12.27 million, making up about 19% of France's total population. In 2021, the Paris Region boasted a GDP of €765 billion (US$1.064 trillion PPP), the largest in the European Union. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit's 2022 Worldwide Cost of Living Survey, Paris ranked as the ninth most expensive city globally.
A key hub for rail, road, and air transport, Paris is served by two major international airports: Charles de Gaulle Airport, the third-busiest in Europe, and Orly Airport. The Paris Métro, opened in 1900, handles 5.23 million passengers daily, making it the second-busiest metro system in Europe after the Moscow Metro. Gare du Nord, one of its primary railway stations, is the busiest outside Japan, accommodating 262 million passengers in 2015. Paris is also recognized for its sustainable transportation network, being one of only two cities globally to have won the Sustainable Transport Award twice.
Renowned for its rich cultural heritage, Paris is home to world-class museums and architectural marvels. In 2023, the Louvre welcomed 8.9 million visitors, maintaining its status as the world's most-visited art museum. Other prestigious institutions include the Musée d'Orsay, Musée Marmottan Monet, and Musée de l'Orangerie, all celebrated for their collections of French Impressionist art. The Pompidou Centre Musée National d'Art Moderne, Musée Rodin, and Musée Picasso showcase significant works of modern and contemporary art. Since 1991, the historic district along the Seine in central Paris has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, further cementing the city's global cultural significance.
