]]> Traveling to Paris can be a dream come true, but it’s no secret that the French capital can also be quite expensive. There’s so much to see in the city of lights, and while having a limited budget may feel like a bummer, it doesn’t have to mean missing out on all that Paris has to offer. With a little planning and a few money-saving tips, travelers can enjoy the charms of Paris without having to worry about breaking the bank. Read on for some of our best tips for saving money while traveling in Paris. 

Embrace picnic culture

Paris is famous for its beautiful parks and gardens, which offer a perfect setting for a budget-friendly picnic. Instead of dining at expensive restaurants, head to a local market and put together a basket of fresh baguettes, cheese, and fruit. Then, find a cozy spot in one of the city’s green oases like Luxembourg Gardens or along the Seine River. Not only will you save money on meals, but you’ll also get to experience a quintessential Parisian pastime.

Take advantage of free attractions

One of the best ways to get to know Parisian history and culture is through its many museums, but entrance fees can add up quickly. Thankfully, the city is home to a range of free attractions that tourists can enjoy without spending a dime. Don’t miss out on iconic landmarks like the Notre-Dame Cathedral, Sacré-Cœur Basilica, or the Love Lock Bridge, Pont des Arts. Additionally, many museums offer free admission on the first Sunday of each month.

Use public transportation 

While taxis and ride-sharing services can be convenient, they can also put a dent in your budget quickly. Fortunately, Paris has an extensive public transportation system including the Metro and buses that are much friendlier on the wallet. For even more savings, we recommend purchasing a daily or weekly travel pass for unlimited rides on public transportation within specified zones.

]]> Everyone has to visit Paris, France at least once in their lifetime, but like most capital cities, Paris is far from a cost-effective destination. Wining and dining at the finest restaurants will cost a pretty penny and the entrance fees for attractions and museums can set you back. But, if you’re traveling on a budget, it’s still possible to visit Paris, you just have to make some adjustments. Here’s how to visit Paris on a budget.

Take Advantage of Free Attractions

Some of the best attractions in Paris are actually free including the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe, and Louvre if you’re fine with viewing the buildings from outside. Enjoy the views of Paris at the Printemps Rooftop Cafe and Terrace and explore the street art of Canal StMartin.

Use the Paris Transport Card

With the Paris Transport Card, transportation in Paris is more affordable and you’ll have unlimited travel on the bus, metro, tramway, and RER networks and its suburbs. The prices start at €13.20 and you can choose between one, two, three, or five day passes.

Visit Museums on a Budget

On the first Sunday of the month you’ll get free entry to all the city’s museums. If you can’t wing it to get to Paris at this time, the Paris Museum Pass will save you lots of money and for €48.00 you’ll get a two day pass that gives you access to over 60 museums!

Visit During the Off Season

Flying to Paris is more expensive during the busy summer months and hotels increase their rates during this time. Plan your trip to Paris during the colder winter months or in spring or autumn.
