- When visiting Paris, forget the Champs-Élysées and Eiffel Tower. The coolest must-see is the Paris Sewer Museum, the "most comprehensive sewer experience available to tourists anywhere." The Musee des Egouts, located just near the Pont de l'Alma, has some 500 yards of tunnels that visitors can explore, as well as exhibits that detail the history of the 2,000-kilometer Paris sewer system. Just don't forget to stop at the museum gift shop for some "sewer-venirs" before you leave. [Brilliant Tips]
