 | Paris Métro & Trains Reviews | 51 - 60 of 95 |  |
If you go out at night in Paris by metro or train, check when the stations close; the metro generally closes around 2 a.m and opens again about 6.30 am... and if you miss the last train...you're not allowed to sleep in the metro ;) Leave a Comment

Be careful going on the metro late at night - there are quite a lot of not so well lit walkways and some lines are less safe than others.
I have also heard of a lot of cases of people being mugged in Paris but I guess this is like any big city - just be careful where you wander off to. Leave a Comment

beware if you are the type who like to avoid paying on the Metro. The last two occasions we have visited Paris, both times only for a couple of days, we have been pounced by the 'inspection squad'. Lucky for us we had our tickets, but we've never been pounced anywhere else!

Travelling by metro is always essential but watch out for pickpockets in the stations. Pickpockets know which stations are frequented by tourists so always watch out for your valuables. Pickpockets are usually innocent looking children or young adults. Leave a Comment

If you're leaving Paris by train, or passing through, make sure you go to the correct train station! Many tourists don't realize that Paris has 5 train stations and that you often have to travel from one to the other by metro. Don't assume that your connecting train is leaving from the same station because they usually don't!

Take care on the subways at night...always
travel in groups. Paris is full of dark alleys so
be on your guard if you're female and alone. Leave a Comment

It might actually take some time to walk from the Metro station entrance to the train. The tunnels are sometimes fairly long and it might not be a good idea to walk alone at night. Having some company is always a good idea. Leave a Comment

At the Metro station Abbesses, which is a very popular starting point when visiting Montmartre there is something you should know. When leaving the station you will come upon a lift (ascenseur) and most probably there will be several people waiting to use it. BE WARNED..... if you have bad knees or feet, respiratory or heart problems etc. wait for the lift because the alternative is a mountain of stairs to climb before you will see daylight. I have it on good authority (Sally aka beausoleil) that these stairs number 287. Felt like 2,087 to me!
