Paris is truly an eternal city. Paris is one of the most visited city in the world. The city of love, the city of Eiffel Tower is always full of tourists, but in fall and winters the tourists’ crowd fall thinner. Paris is not worth visiting only because of its grand monuments like Eiffel tower and Louvre Museum, but also for its beautiful people, history and culture.

When you visit Paris you must want to see this entire great city, you may short list some specific spots to visit before other places. Here are the five most important things to do while visiting Paris.

1. Arc de Triomphe
Arc de Triomphe is world’s largest triumphal arch, which is situated at the center of the Place de l'Étoile. The monument overtops the hill of the Chaillot at the center of the star shaped structure of 12 shining avenues. At the base of Arc de Triomphe’s pillars, there are 4 huge sculptures that commemorate The Triumph of 1810, Resistance, Peace and The Departure of Volunteers. Around the top of the Arch, names of the major victories of The Revolutionary and Napoleonic period are engraved.


2. The Orsay Museum
The interesting thing about this museum is that is housed in a huge railway station that was built in 1900. This railway station was completely abandoned by 1961. In 1981 the practicing French president decided to use this railway station as a museum. The Orsay museum contains 2300 paintings, 1500 sculptures and almost 1000 other objects. These objects and paintings in the museum cover the era of mid nineteenth century to 1914 and these art pieces belong to Degas, Rodin, Monet, Renoir, van Gogh and others.

3. Montparnasse Tower
Montparnasse Tower was built in 1973 and at that time it was one of the tallest buildings in Paris. You must visit the tower’s observation deck to have a magnificent view of the city. May the tower is not a worth visiting place in itself but its observation deck on 56th floor makes it worth visiting. It offers you a panoramic view of the eternal city of Paris.

The Ski Resort in Uludag is a good place to spend a holiday at. The adventurous skiing experience and heart throbbing scenarios of the beautiful natural locations of Turkey makes some unforgettable memories for the tourist. To be really honest, this type of adventure requires a level of tolerance as things might get creepy at certain times and might result in inappropriate pleasure. But this a great place to have fun with the snow balls with the loved ones.

Eyup Sultan mosque, located outside the city walls of Istanbul near the Golden Horn is the burial place of a beloved companion and standard-bearer of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), Hazrat Abu Eyubal-Ansari (R.A). Hazrat Eyub gave his life during the siege of Constantinople in the 670s and the mosque was constructed some 700 years later. Original architecture of the mosque was a beautiful representation of the Ottoman designs, built in 1458 it could not withstand an earthquake and by the late 18thentuary, was in the state of ruin. Sultan Selim III ordered the whole structure other than the minarets to be demolished and then reconstructed.
 Why is it popular?
• Muslims pay respect and recite Surah Fateha at the mausoleum and it is considered the most important Islamic shrine in Turkey. Very popular among the Muslim tourists, it is beautifully decorated with Iznik tiles.
• Some history buffs come to view the past coronation site of the Ottoman Sultans (same place). It was here that the next Sultan was given the sword of Osman, entitlement to being called Padisha (king of kings).

Pierre Loti
This place, named after an exotic novelist and French naval officer, is a stop close to the Eyub mosque and is also a must on your itinerary.he used to write his novels at this place which overlooks the Golden Horn and gives spectacular scenery. A cable car takes you to the top of the hill where one finds the Tarihi Kahve, Aziyade Restaurant, YeşilKafe,Nargile Evi and the Turqu House Hotel that can house and entertain a great number of tourists.


The grave of a traveling dervish ‘Iskandar Dede’ is also present in the tourist area of the hill. Two water wells are located in front of it, one of them is the famous ‘Dilek Kuyusu’ translated to ‘a water well for wishes’, it is said that people who look into it, can see the wishes they keep in their hearts. All in all, it is a perfect place to sip some Turkish beverages as you admire the beauty of Istanbul and the Bosporus. The café Pierre Loti is furnished in Turkish mannerism, while the red and white checked tablecloths are a reminder of the French customs that Pierre Loti, the Frenchman reflected.

Even when full of people (as it mostly is), this place gives serenity to the tourists who find solace in the view. Behind the restaurant, a recreational area offers Nargile, Hamams and other coffee shops as well.

How to reach there?
From the Old Town /Sultanahmet or Taksim to Eyup quarter, a taxi will take 30-40 TL. From Eyup quarter, there are two options:
• Funicular- costing about 5 TL.
• Climbing/Trekking: this will be a little steep and through a very interesting old graveyard. It takes around 20 minutes.
The reason we’ve placed the two together is because of their close locations, while viewing one, you can visit the other as well. The graveyard is also an exotic place, with tombstones that go centuries back, it is a fascinating place.

As for the origin of the Turkish people, in Turkey, a Turk is "any individual within the Republic of Turkey, whatever his faith who speaks Turkish, grows up with Turkish culture and adopts the Turkish ideal is a Turk."  This is somewhat different from saying that the person belongs to the Turk ethnic group.

It was after 1923 that the racial mix of the population became less blur with the mass exchange of population when over one million Greeks left and about half a million Turks came into the new Republic of Turkey.
Other ethnic groups in the country include the Kurds, who have inhabited eastern Turkey, Syria and Iran for several thousand years ago; the Jews, who came to Turkey following persecution by the Christian church in Spain in the 16th century, as well as a small number of Armenians and Greeks.
