Best Way To Get Around Paris
By Charlie. Filed in Business Travel, Europe |
To experience Paris to its fullest, you need to be prepared to walk – a lot. The winding streets and cobblestone roads are a pleasure to explore, but don’t forget your walking shoes. The best way to get around is by searching on foot, because it allows you to pick up on all the intricate details of this beautiful European city. However, it is a large city and has a great metro system that is speedy and will get you right where you need to be; there is nearly a metro station on every street corner. You’ll need a metro map to understand all the routes and directions, but they are very easy to read.
If you know that you’ll be using the metro quite often, pick up a short-term metro pass. It will alleviate the travel process and will make going in and out of the metro station simple. Make sure you keep your ticket for the entire journey because tickets are frequently checked on the way out of metro stations. A great option is getting the Paris Visite pass for unlimited journeys for five days or less. You can choose one of two travel zones: either the city center zones and the entire metro system, or a broader range of zones that extends to the Charles de Gaulle airport.
Many attractions are right off the metro line, including the French Open. You can easily buy a 5-day metro pass for the tournament, which starts May 24th and lasts through June 7th. There are many hotels located nearby the tournament that have the French Open schedule and are also off the metro line. If you are planning to attend Wimbledon as well, public transportation is also the recommended way to travel. Tennis for all!
