City Guide Paris, France

Visiting Paris

Regarded as the most romantic city in the world, Paris is definitely a wonderful place for couples to visit, although you don’t have to be travelling there with that ‘someone special’ to appreciate it. It is full of famous landmarks and museums, great places to eat and a host of buzzing bars and nightclubs. So even if you are going with some friends or on your own, you won't find it hard to fill your days.

    Expensive, but impressive.

    Paris lives up to the hype - it was extremely beautiful and there is a lot to see and do. Paris is also extremely expensive, when it comes to food and tourist attractions, so try to save money where possible by purchasing lunch foods and snacks at grocery stores or bakeries.

    Insider Tip:Try to do as many free* tours as possible with New Paris, which is a sub-group of Sandemans. Their tours are a great way to see the city and learn things that you would otherwise miss if you tried to do it alone. The tour guides are friendly and informative and don't push too hard for tips.

    Paris is ok, too expensive

    Is a very expensive city compared to other european cities we had visit in our trip. Not so nice, not so clean, it looks a lot like Buenos Aires (actually is the opposite) and as we don't like Buenos Aires that disn't help. Bad smell in many places. Louvre and Pompideu Museums are awesome

    Insider Tip:DON'T GO TO LE MONTCLAIRE MONTMARTRE HOSTEL!

    beautiful city

    A big city, definitely lots of things to see. However, people in paris is not very nice. I was yawled twice by a cleaning lady in the bathroom under Notre Dame and the reception desk in Versailles. But in general it's really fun.

    Insider Tip:if you want to skip the line in front of the Louve, don't leave the metro station and enter from the mall.

    as everyone else says i need to say it to.. if you dont know french the parisians are a bit rude, and ignorant. and yeah they do look angry for some reason haha!.i had to see it for my self ;) the town it self are pretty and disgusting at the same time!. we took a whole day with guided tours in town and in mont martre and even a pubcrawl and that was great! but going out by our self the first night was a bit lame, and the metro ends around 1am. and its alot of hobos, rats and gypsis, beware!
