Travel for Pennies

Paris is unarguably the most romantic city in the world. The lights, glamour and passion surging through the European destination are palpable. Many tourists planning their first trip to Paris are often overwhelmed by the dozens of spectacular attractions and activities to take part in. But travelers should not feel the burden of over-preparing – going to Paris should be a relaxed, fly by the whim sort of adventure. There are so many fascinating sights, but let the city be your guide and inspiration be your compass.

Although it’s important to maintain flexibility and simplicity in planning, making the best of your trip still requires some preparation. A great way to save money is to look into passes for all the great attractions. Most museums accept a universal museum pass that will definitely come in handy if you plan on going to all the great attractions, like the Louvre, and monuments. Plan your schedule accordingly if you want to see all the major attractions. For example, if you want to stop by the Eiffel Tower, do it early in the morning, when the air is crisp and the crowds are minimal.

If you are planning on going to the French Open 2009, look for tickets immediately. They go fast and you don’t want to miss out on all the excitement. The Wimbledon results are also thrilling. Happening just a few weeks after the Paris tournament, Wimbledon live can make a fun getaway while you stay in Paris. Tennis galore!
Don’t over-think your trip to Europe. Make it fun and casual, and never let the planning process take away from experiencing the city’s beauty.
