Paris is one of the most magical cities in the world
Hey there fellow travelers, Mark here from Walters World.
Today we’re in Paris and we’re going to talk about budget tips for visiting Paris, so you can get the most out of your euro.
The first thing we need to discuss are the sights. Just walking around Paris, taking in the architecture and the free sites, can save you a ton of money.
You may not need to go up the Eiffel Tower, but you can enjoy the beautiful park right behind it.
The Arc de Triomphe can be visited for free by walking underneath it.
The Tuileries Garden and the Luxembourg Gardens are also wonderful and free to visit.
When it comes to museums, it’s important to focus on the ones you really want to see, as they can add up quickly.
Some ways to save include: free admission on the first Sunday of the month at some museums, discounts if you go later in the day, and reduced prices for young people and seniors.
Another interesting option is the Paris Pass, which gives you access to around 80 museums and attractions.
However, make sure the museums you want to see are included, or it may not be worth it.
For getting around, your own two feet will be the cheapest option.
But the best way to move around the city is the metro, which is inexpensive and efficient. Try to avoid taxis and Uber as much as possible.
Regarding food, there are many budget-friendly options like street food, crepes, and set-price menus, especially at lunchtime.
Avoid eating breakfast at your hotel – it’s much more affordable to grab a croissant and coffee at a local bakery.
For accommodations, look for options in different areas of the city, not necessarily in the center, as prices may be lower while still being well-connected.
Another option is to rent an apartment, so you can prepare some meals at home.
Finally, be careful when buying souvenirs. Instead of purchasing a lot of small items that will end up in the trash, invest in something more lasting and useful, like a nice piece of clothing or artwork.
I hope these tips help you manage your budget and fully enjoy your time in Paris!
