Paris is smaller than people expect — most of what tourists want to see sits inside a ring you could walk in a long weekend. But the Métro is fast, the RER reaches the airports and Versailles, and knowing the difference between the two before you arrive saves real time.
- A single t+ ticket covers Métro, bus, and tram within Paris — buy a carnet of 10 to save
- The RER, not the Métro, is what you want for the airports, Disneyland Paris, and Versailles
- Vélib' bike stations are everywhere; a day pass unlocks unlimited 30-minute rides
- Hours
- Métro runs 5:30–01:15 (until 2:15 Fri/Sat)
- Price
- Single ticket €2.15, carnet of 10 €17.35, day pass €8.65
- Tip
- Download the Bonjour RATP app before you land — it works offline for route planning.
