Paris is home to hundreds of museums, including the largest museum in the world, the Louvre.
Located on the bank of the Seine, the Louvre Museum covers an area of more than 70,000
square meters. It’s as big as 280 tennis courts. The museum is one of the most recognisable
landmarks of Paris. Each year, millions of people visit the museum. The museum is one of the
reasons that Paris is among the top-visited cities in the world. Following a record number of
visitors in 2019, the museum decided to limit the number of guests to avoid overcrowding.
According to the museum director, he didn’t want more visitors but the museum aimed to
provide a better experience for all.

Big cities are busy, crowded and full of traffic. City people like to go to parks. It feels like
they’re far away from the traffic and chaos. But there also public squares where they can relax.
Squares aren’t green spaces. In fact, they’re the opposite because they’re usually surrounded
by shops and cafes. However, they’re very important because they’re social spaces. People go
there to meet their friends, have a coffee or maybe see a concert.
A few years ago, I visited China and I went to Xinghai Square in the city of Dalian. I couldn’t
believe the size of the square – it’s 1,760,000 metres squared. Most people in Dalian live in tall
buildings and they need a place where they can be outside. The square is by the sea and there
are amusements parks, shopping malls and museums. It took me hours to walk all the way
around it, but it was a cool experience!
Public spaces have been around for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks called their the
‘Agora’. It was an open area in the most central part of the city where people bought food, did
business and discussed politics. The Romans called their public square the ‘Forum’ and it had
shops, markets and theatres. The ancient sites in Athens and Rome still exist, but they’re full of
tourists now.
Even villages often have a public area where local people can meet. It might be a small square
or an actually grassy area that is known as the ‘village green’ in the UK. Hundreds of years
ago, people took their animals to eat the grass on the green. It was also used to celebrate
important events. If you’re ever in the UK, don’t miss the opportunity to visit one of these
beautiful little villages.
