Things to know before coming to Paris
Flying to Paris is easy! You can find lots of low-cost flights online. Plus, there are many flight+hotel combinations you can choose from. You can fly to one of the 3 airports in Paris. Find out how to go from the airport to Paris city center.
The Parisian underground is very well organized. You can take a train at any time. You can take the subway, the RER train (urban train)… For those who are planning to travel a lot, there is the possibility of purchasing the Paris Visite pass. You can buy it online or at the first metro station you go to in the city.
One more pass that you can buy before coming to Paris is the Paris Museum Pass. It is a subscription that you can take to enter for free in many museums. Even if you decide of don’t buy a pass for museums, I suggest deciding in advance which museums to visit. Also, not all museums are part of this circuit. For example, the Louvre is not included!
And what about food? Food in Paris is quite expensive! Near the main attractions, tourist menus are on the agenda. If you prefer street food for lunch, you can choose between stuffed baguettes, crocques monsieur (sandwiches), or sweet or savory crêpes.
Last but not least, one more thing to know before coming to Paris is where to go shopping for souvenirs! If you would like to buy something special and typical for your parents and friends, the best area is Montmartre. Go shopping for souvenirs in the street that from the Anvers metro station climbs towards the Sacre Coeur hill.
