Passy station is located further west of the Eiffel Tower near the Pont de Bir-Hakeim.

There are several ways to get to the Eiffel Tower : get off at Trocadéro station to enjoy the view of the Eiffel Tower, get off at Passy and walk along the banks of the Seine on the Avenue de New York to cross along the Pont d’Iena. Finally, get off at Bir-Hakeim on the left bank of the Seine and go to the Eiffel Tower by walking along the Quai Branly.

Further east, line 6 serves Montparnasse Bienvenüe with the nearby Montparnasse Tower and its view of Paris. Two stations further, Denfert-Rochereau takes you to the Paris catacombs .

Turning a bit further to the south of Paris, the line 6 crosses the Seine near the Gare de Bercy. The stops Quai de la Gare, Bercy, and Dugommier will take you to the Parc de Bercy and the Accor Hôtels Arena as well as the Gare de Bercy served by buses and TER and Intercity trains.

This subway stop also has a fresco representing the Cunette barrier, which was once a gate of the Fermiers Généraux (Farmers General) wall, a Paris city wall built before the revolution.

At the station Saint Jacques , you will be surprised by the entrance’s particular design: an art nouveau-style canopy that will take you back in time.

Going to the Eiffel Tower by Bir-Hakeim , you can admire the glass ceiling designed by artist Judy Ledgerwood . This double-glass ceiling is places at each end of the station over the tracks. It was designed in exchange for a Guimard art nouveau entrance. The Guimard entrance is now installed at Van Buren Street station in Chicago that serves Millennium Park.

Paris Metro Line 6 Must-Sees

Paris metro Bir Hakeim

This post may contain sponsored or affiliate links.

Line 6 is, hands down, my favorite metro line in Paris. It may sound strange to have a preference, but trust me, it’s for good reason. A lot of this line runs above ground, meaning you see the city on your commute, and it crosses the river Seine while giving you spectacular views of the Eiffel Tour. It also takes you to several must-see spots around town.

Don’t know much about le métro? Here’s How to Take the Metro in Paris along with our Guide to All the Paris Metro Lines .

Map of Paris metro line 6

Inaugurated between 1900 and 1906, this Paris metro line was initially called Circulaire Sud , southern circular, due to its semi-circular path through the southern part of Paris.

Metro Line 6 starts at station Charles de Gaulle Étoile which lies just under the famous Avenue des Champs Elysées. It then swoops down south across the Seine, taking passengers to the major transit hubs of Montparnasse Bienvenüe and Denfert-Rochereau, before passing Place d’Italie and heading north back across Seine between Quai de la Gare and Bercy, and ending at Nation. 

Nearly half of the line is above ground; out of over 8 miles (13.5 kilometers) of track, almost 4 miles (6 km) let riders watch the city go by. The stretch between Bir Hakeim and Passy offers the best views of all as the metro takes you across the river Seine.

Eiffel Tower as seen from Paris metro line 6

For the best views of the Eiffel Tower from Metro Line 6 : sit on the right side of the train, facing the rear, if you’re heading towards Charles de Gaulle Etoile; sit on the left side of the train, facing the front if you’re heading towards Nation.

The line stays above ground until Sèvres-Lecourbe , re-emerges for Saint-Jacques , dives back down for Place d’Italie , and stays above ground from Nationale , giving you a look at the boats moored along the quays of the Seine before going underground at Bercy , emerging only for a brief over-ground stop at Bel-Air .

This constant up and down make Line 6 a fun one to ride.

Paris family trip Arc de Triomphe

The line’s three most can’t-miss stops come at the very beginning, with Charles de Gaulle Etoile for the Arc de Triomphe ; Trocadéro for, well, the Trocadéro with its amazing views of the Eiffel Tower as well as the underrated Musée de l’Homme; and then Bir-Hakeim to actually visit the Eiffel Tower.

At Dupleix , you find one of the best food markets in Paris . Edgar Quintet is where to stop for the lesser-known but very atmospheric Montparnasse Cemetery , the final resting places of many French and foreign writers and philosophers including the graves of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. Denfert-Rochereau gets you to the Catacombs .

Fans of street art, be sure to hop off at Place d’Italie to discover the charming neighborhood of La Butte-aux-Cailles and its fabulous street art.

Reserve a private street art tour in Paris

You can also head up Boulevard Vincent Auriol, the long street taking you from Place d’Italie to the Seine, to take in even more urban art.

This whole area is a veritable open-air street art museum, with enormous murals adorning the high-rise apartment buildings. You can exit at Place d’Italie or Chevaleret and set off on foot to admire all the extra-sized artworks, but you can also spot many of the murals from the metro too.

But the 13th Arrondissement isn’t all about street art. This southern Paris neighborhood also has the world’s largest incubator for start-ups, Station F, which also home to the coolest food court you’ve ever seen, La Felicita .

The next stop, Quai de la Gare , is perfect for spending time on the Seine’s many riverboats that have been reinvented as bars, live music venues (like La Dame de Canton ), and even a swimming pool .

Banks of the Seine in the 13th Arrondissement

Just across the Seine, Bercy is where to catch an international bus line or attend an event at one of Paris’s largest entertainment venues, the AccorHotel Arena (more often simply called Bercy by Parisians).

The line’s eastern terminus is at Nation , a large place presided over by statues on two tall columns on either side of the main boulevard: the Colonnes de la Barrière du Trône.

Should you want to stretch your legs after a long metro ride, take a walk down the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine. This street passes through the local-favorite Paris neighborhood of Ledru Rollin which is bustling with boutiques and bistros , and takes you on to Bastille .

Wondering what to do near Bastille? Learn about the history of the Quinze-Vingts Quarter during this guided tour of Paris’s 12th Arrondissement .

Beware of Pickpockets

Pickpockets are unfortunately very well implemented on the Parisian metro network. Around 100 new snatching cases are held by the police in Paris every day. That doesn’t mean that you should be worried nor avoid taking the metro, but you should be extremely careful, more than you usually are. Having a wallet or a phone stolen while traveling on a metro line in Paris without noticing it on the moment, is something that happens many times a day, so you should take your precautions to not be the next victim. The parisian police highly recommends to travel with anti-theft bags. Those bags are manufactured in a way that it makes it very different to open them quickly to take what is inside. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for the pickpockets to deal with those bags. Different sizes are available, from the backpacks ( available here ), to the handbags ( here is how it looks like ) or shoulder bags ( example here ).

Paris Metro 6

Line 6 of the metro of Paris serves the southern part of the city by drawing a half circle from the Champs-Élysées avenue to Nation metro station. It has a length of 13 kilometers.

9 Things to See in Moscow's Red Square

 Sir Francis Canker/Getty Images

In most cases, you'll be entering Red Square from the north, passing landmarks such as the Bolshoi Theatre and Duma parliament building as you make your way southward. Although you don't necessarily have to pass through the Voskresensky (or Resurrection in English) Gates in order to gain access to the square these days, they definitely provide a sense of arrival, to say nothing of the way their left arch frame's St. Basil's Cathedral if you look from just the right angle.

An interesting fact is that while a gate of some kind has stood here since the mid-16th century, the one you currently see wasn't built until 1994, having been destroyed in 1931 so that tanks could enter and exit Red Square during military parades.

St. Basil's Cathedral

TripSavvy / Christopher Larson 

Few sights are as iconic not only of Moscow and Red Square but indeed of Russia than St. Basil's Cathedral, whose colorful, onion-shaped domes are a symbol of the country around the world. Officially known as the Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, this church has stood since 1561, which is quite miraculous when you consider all the turbulent history that has transpired since then.

Among other things, religion was severely prohibited during the Soviet period , which led some to believe that this emblem of the Russian Orthodox church might not withstand the tenure of the USSR. 

An interesting fact is that St. Basil's is the so-called "Kilometer Zero" of Russia; all of Moscow's main roads (which can take you anywhere in Russia) begin at the exits to Red Square. In this way, St. Basil's iconic status also has an extremely tangible element.

The Kremlin

TripSavvy / Christopher Larson

When you think of The Kremlin, it's unlikely that positive images enter your mind. The fact that simply saying the word "Kremlin" is too vague a descriptor (most Russian cities have their own Kremlin complexes; you should say "Moscow Kremlin") notwithstanding, this misunderstood place is incredibly beautiful, even if you don't like the policy that comes out of it.

Senate Square

In spite of its name, which refers to the role the building that rises above the square played during Imperial Russia, Senate Square is actually home to Russia's presidential administration, currently helmed by Vladimir Putin. In order to see where Russia's legislature operates from, walk just outside Red Square to the Duma parliament building.

Dormition Cathedral

Dating back to the year 1479, the gold-domed Dormition Cathedral pays homage to an Orthodox religious feast that commemorates the death of the Virgin Mary . As is the case with St. Basil's, it is curious that such a conspicuously religious structure was able to survive through the Soviet period.

Armoury Chamber

Though it takes its name from the fact that it housed Russia's royal arsenal when it was built in the 16th century, the most notable resident of the Kremlin's Armoury Chamber today is the Russian Diamond Fund.

Notable Kremlin Towers

Robert Schrader

The interior of the Moscow Kremlin is more beautiful and inviting than you'd expect, but the walls and towers that rise around it better live up to the intimidation with which the complex is associated. 

Borovitskaya Tower

Named to commemorate the dense forest that once stood atop the mount where it's built, this tower is extremely picturesque. Built in the late 15th century, it's visible from most places in the square, and also as you walk along the Moskva River.

Nikolskaya Tower

Also built in the year 1491, this tower currently suffered destruction at the hands of Napoleon's army in the 19th century. What you see now is the result of an 1816 re-design and renovation, though artillery fire during the Russian Revolution also caused superficial damage to the tower, named to honor St. Nikolas of Mozhaysk , so it's difficult to know which elements of it are original.

Spasskaya Tower

Known in English as the "Savior's Tower," this iconic, star-topped tower is perhaps the best-known of all the Kremlin's towers. Built in 1491 like the other two towers on this list, it's certainly the most photographed. As a result of its proximity to St. Basil's, it often makes its way into tourists' pictures.

Mausoleum of Lenin

Just as it's strange to learn how many religious monuments survived through the Soviet period, it's a bit odd to think that Lenin's preserved body still sits in a mausoleum just beneath the walls of the Kremlin on Red Square, given the lack of consensus about the ultimate impact of his Revolution, even in Russia.

It's not guaranteed that you'll be able to see the body (which, believe it or not, seems to be improving with age ) when you go, and if you do you will likely have to wait in line, but even strolling past the outside of the Lenin Mausoleum, flanked by stone-faced guards that almost look like statues, illuminates the gravity of his body still being here.

GUM Shopping Center

You might cringe, at least initially, when you realize that one of the most iconic stops on a tour of Red Square is a department store—until you see said department store, that is. Built in 1893 and known during Soviet times as the State Department Store, GUM  ( Glávnyj Universáľnyj Magazín​ or Main Universal Store in English) hearkens back to the grandeur of the late 19th century, both seen from the outside (especially, when lit up at night) and the interior, which might have you feeling like you're further west in Europe.

A trip inside GUM is a particularly good idea during winter, when frigid temperatures outside will have you savoring the heat, the quality of souvenirs, confections and other goods sold inside notwithstanding. Also, make sure not to confuse GUM with CDM, which sits near the Bolshoi Theatre, even though both are stunning and iconic in their own right.

State Historical Museum

The Russian State Historical Museum is located near Voskresensky Gates, though you should wait until after you've seen the first few attractions of Red Square and the Kremlin to head back there and go inside. To be sure, as you pass by its facade (whose late-19th century grandeur somewhat obscures that fact that it's currently a museum accessible to the public) you might not even think to try and gain entry.

Once inside the museum, you can plan to spend at least a couple of hours, given that artifacts here date back to the very beginning of the Russian state in the ninth century. As is the case with GUM, this will be a particularly alluring prospect if you visit in winter, when Moscow is arguably at its most beautiful, but certainly at its least tolerable. 

Minin-Pozharsky Monument

It's somewhat easy to disregard this monument, which pays homage to the two Russian princes who ended the so-called "Time of Troubles" in the mid-16th century, during which Polish-Lithuanian forces occupied Russia, among other awful things including a famine. That's because the statue currently sits just at the base of St. Basil's Cathedral, which makes it very difficult to photograph or even see without being overwhelmed by that much more famous edifice.

Though the statue originally sat at the very center of Red Square, it came to be an obstacle to the movement of tanks during the Soviet period, much like the Voskresensky Gates. As a result, authorities moved it during that time, and it's stayed where you currently find it ever since.

Kazan Cathedral

Taken by itself, the smokey-pink Kazan Cathedral is an architectural marvel; originally built in the 17th century, the church you find here today, located just north of the GUM department store, dates back only to 1993.

Unfortunately, since it sits not only in the shadow of GUM, but also in the shadow St. Basil's and the Towers of the Kremlin, it's easy to miss entirely if you aren't looking. As a result, you might wait until you've seen just about everything else in Red Square before coming here to take photos, and to appreciate the understated beauty of this oft-overlooked cathedral.

Moskva River

As you head south from St. Basil's Cathedral to exit Red Square, make sure to walk onto Bolshoy Moskvoretskiy Bridge, which crosses the Moskva River. If you look due north, you can get an excellent shot of the church framed, on the left, by the towers of the Kremlin. Directing your gaze a bit to the west allows you to see the skyscrapers of Moscow City as they rise above the Kremlin's walls.

Walking westward along the riverbank is also a worthwhile excursion, for the views it provides of Red Square and the Kremlin, as well as the fact that doing so takes you to other iconic Moscow attractions, including Gorky Park and the Pushkin Museum. The views you enjoy from the river and the bridge are particularly stunning at night, though you should make sure you bring a tripod if you want to get a clear picture, given how strong winds over and near the river can be.
