I've been here for only 2 days and my impressions are very underwhelming to say the least.
I don't get it, what's so special about this city.

You can tell the OP is a sub-human American redditor. Bought a ticket to Paris for the vibes and has no idea what to do in an ancient city full of history and art and food so hes gonna get onto the 22 year old paris sucks gimmick

Is there a city you do find impressive?

You have to have a fairly high IQ to appreciate Paris.

I had the inverse experience. Went because I was going with someone who really wanted to. I insisted we keep Paris short and spend more time in the countryside. I had heard too many negative things from my Swedish friends. I don't regret that decision, but the one full day we spent in Paris was quite lovely. Took a boat tour to see the old buildings, ate at a couple fancy restaurants, bicycled around the city. I don't think it's Europe's finest city, and one must be warned to avoid certain quarters of the city, but it has something to offer, even if that something is a nice meal on a comfy street.

Paris is a city you either get or you don't. Personally I love Paris, I'm there at least four weeks a year. The museums, the architecture, the boulangeries, the vibes, it's just so special. Even the people are great. Nothing more magical than starting a summer day with a run along the Seine, resting in a beautiful park, taking a shower and spending the rest of the day in museums, book shops and restaurants. It's also gotten a lot better since the war on cars has started.
But I also get if people can't get over the dirt, the rats, the sheer size of the city, the tourist traps (honestly you have to be stupid to fall for them but they are still annoying to witness) and the Parisian snobbery, especially when it comes to food.
