Optimize your trips

To get the most out of Paris, while optimizing your budget, you have to calculate your costs carefully, including for your trips. If you decide to use public transportation, make sure you choose a format adapted to your trips: if you make more than three trips during the day, take a Mobilis ticket for 7.50€ which allows you to make unlimited trips during the day. In the same way, the RATP also offers an unlimited ticket for 5 days, the Paris Visite package for 38,35€. So before buying a ticket or a booklet, take a good look at the offers.

Think also about alternative modes of transport such as the vélib' or the electric scooters which are proposed in self-service. In addition to allowing you to roam the capital, they can also be more cost-effective.
