Métro: The Metro, of course
  • Tip Rating:
  • The easyest way to visit Paris for a tourist, is to buy a "Paris Visite" card or a "Mobilis" card.
    This card permits to take any subway in Paris during 1 to 5 days.

    As we had to come from outside Paris and had to take an RER train first, we bought a one day Mobilis card, which was the most economic.
    17 euros

    Plans of the Metro are available in all the hotels and in the stations.

    Métro: Metro
    Easiest way (I think) to navigate your way around Paris. All major sights and areas are covered by the metro. Tickets cost E 1.30, a carnet of 10 tikets cost E10.50 and Paris Visite passes cost E8.35, E13.70 & E18.25 for 1,2&3 days respectively and cover zones 1-3. More passes can be found on the website. you can pick up a map at any metro station. Once you get the hang of it it's a cheap and efficient way of getting around I didn't get lost once (yeah me).

    The Paris Métro is the best way to get around Paris. Avoid driving in Paris - unless you enjoy constant traffic congestions and almost no parking. The Métro is inexpensive, runs frequently, is reliable and fairly safe, except for the occasional pickpocketing. And it is easy to find your way around - Métro maps are posted at each station. The Métro takes you both forward and backwards into time - forward to your destination and backwards since many of the Métro stations have a mystic historical flair (many of them were built in the late 19th/early 20th century). A unique travel experience - and not all that different from Einstein's relativity theory!

    Métro: Metro (M°)
    The metro (M°) is by far the best and fastest way to get around Paris. The first line opened over 100 years ago, there are now 14, plus the RER, wich can bring you pretty much anywhere in the city you may want to go.

    Public transportation works really well in Paris. No use having a car.
    To find out how to go from one address to another but RER, metro or bus, check www.ratp.fr.
    You can even download the public transports map on your handheld.

    You can also check for strikes and riots.

    The bus lines 82 and 84 are always a nice ride, if you want to go sight-seeing without being spotted as a tourist.

    Métro: Metro around town
    Great way to get around. Takes a bit of getting used to but you can get from A to B very quickly.
    Listen for the buskers, the sound travels round the tunnels and make the hair on the back of your neck stand up - brilliant!!

    Métro: Le Métro
    I visited all the important places in Paris by bus and metro: specially the last one, it's a fast and easy way to walk around the city: there are plenty stations which permit to get correspondance with many lines. And I didn't find it dangerous, even at night. It was also quite clean.

    The metro is cheap and fairly easy to negotiate. I did get lost on my first day but the French were very helpful and I didn't even speak French!

    Métro: Best transportation in the world!!
    Definitely learn the metro system. It is an incredible way to get around the city and there are stops close to every sight. Metro maps are in every guidebook about France or Paris.

  • The Metro
    One of the best ways to get around Paris, No matter where you are in the center city you seem to be no more than a few hundred yards from a metro station.

    Best buy is to get a pass that includes unlimited metro rides for a fixed number of days.
