Transportation

Paris is a walkable city, and the best way to explore it is on foot. However, you can also use the city's extensive metro network, which costs €1.90 for a single ride or €14.90 for 10 tickets. Taxis can be quite expensive, so we recommend using ride-sharing apps like Uber or Bolt for shorter journeys. Average travel time between locations is approximately 20 minutes.

Useful Tips

If you have more time, explore the city's many food markets, such as Marché d'Aligre, Marché Bastille, and Marché des Enfants Rouges. If you have less time, shorten the itinerary by skipping one restaurant per day or combining breakfast and lunch at a brunch spot. Reservations are highly recommended for all restaurants, so be sure to book in advance.

Airports

Paris has two main airports: Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Orly (ORY). Charles de Gaulle is located 16 miles northeast of the city center, and Orly is located 9 miles south of the city center. Both airports have good transport links to the city, including trains, buses, taxis, and ride-sharing apps. Allow at least an hour for travel time from the airport to your destination.
