Paris has its charms! It’s one of the “must-see” sights in Europe.
Here are a few tips for getting around the city more easily:
A place to stay: www.airbnb.com / iphone app / android app
Great site – a lot of hosts to choose from. Reservation at least one month before the visit is recomended.
Organize your trips: www.tripomatic.com / iphone app / android app
Get a sense of what is to be found and how to get around.
Mobilni internet: Bouygues
You will need a mobile internet connection for all the “geo-position” mobile apps. Prepay SIM 9 for €, every 300MB of data 10€. Forget the overrated Data Roaming.
General navigation – free: Navfree / iphone app / android app
A very nice app that will get you there.
Transport – Bicycle: Velib / iphone app / android app
Short term subscriptions with a credit card. But beware – 150€ of caution for every subscription. You get it back after 13 days!
Transport – Metro: RATP / iphone app / android app
Metro and all the public transportation. Prices in the link above. Very good mobile app.
Museums: Musee Pass
Definitely a choice, if you’re planning to visit a lot of them. Bear in mind:
– most of the museums are free for visitors till 26. (EU)
– all public museums are free every first Sunday of the month
– most of them are closed on Monday / Tuesday
