Getting Around Paris

Getting Around Paris

The Paris Métro is fast, extensive and hands-down the best way to get around the city. Tickets are cheap (€1.40), and the network is easy to navigate. You can pick up a pocket-sized map at the airport or at the ticket booth in stations. Ask about day passes (Paris Visite) when sightseeing.

Taxis—generally very comfortable and reasonably inexpensive (from €0.77 to €1.31 per km)—are also a good option. Remember, however, that you can’t flag them down on the street. Taxis only stop at taxi stands (bornes de taxi), which can be frustratingly difficult to locate. Make sure to order a taxi well in advance if you aren’t at your hotel. Try Taxis G7 (01 47 27 66 99) or Taxis Bleus (08 91 70 10 10).
