How To Get Around Paris | THE Tourist Guide You Need 2024

By Kyle Kroeger

Paris is one of the major cities in Europe and a sight to behold. Though grasping how to get around Paris is not an easy process.

For most tourists, walking is a welcoming way to get around town. However, the city is so big walking cannot be your lone option for getting around Paris.

If you are on a tight traveling schedule, public transportation is the only option to stay on track daily. The public transportation system is accessible from anywhere in town.

The system is fully integrated; you can transfer from one public transportation option to another without delay. Each option runs on time, and is the best way to get around Paris without a car.

Short On Time? Okay!

Use the efficient Paris Metro , praised as one of the world’s fastest, to make your way around the sights.

The Paris RER offers regional travel to landmarks like Versailles.

Explore iconic spots with the Montmartre Funicular , or opt for the extensive bus network .

For flexible tours, hop on Paris City Bus Tours .

Taxis ensure safe passage through the City of Lights.

Paris Metro (Subway or Underground Railroad System)

The Paris Metro rail line is the best way to get around Paris without delay. Some experts believe it is the fastest public transportation system in the world. The rail service has 14 connected lines that travel 135 miles across town.

First-time visitors can easily get around Paris without speaking French, so you will not have to worry about missing your train. The Paris Metro lines can be located with the “M” signage throughout the station. The connected lines can be found easily as each platform is numbered 1-14.

Service begins at 5:30 a.m. daily as the last train arrives at the station at approximately 1 a.m. The fares vary as the price depends on the length of your trip.

Paris RER (Ruseau Express Regional)

The Paris RER is a regional train service that travels from Paris to all the surrounding communities- a quick and efficient way to get around Paris.

You will find this rail service very useful if you are seeking to visit an attraction outside the city. Some popular train stops include Palace of Versailles and the Charles de Gaulle Airport . The local public transportation leaders have documented that the express rail system travels over 365 miles of landscape.

Purchase Your Ticket For Palace Of Versailles Here

Five lines (A, B, C, D, and E) are available as the Paris RER stops at over 200 daily stations. Access to the trains is similar to the Paris Metro platforms.

The lone difference is the RER has a normal or express train schedule. The express trains will not stop at every station along the route. Before boarding, check the display boards to confirm the correct route to your desired destination.

Paris RER departure times differ from the Paris Metro rail service- ensure you check the schedule information before purchasing a rail line. Once again, fare prices are determined by the length of your trip. If unsure, speak with a ticket operator or purchase a ticket from a vending machine. Each can assist with selecting the right train stop for your location.

Montmartre Funicular

The Montmartre Funicular is a special rail service that drops riders at the summit of the Butte Montmartre , the Basilique du Sacre Coeur , and the Place du Tertre . The trains will not make any other stops along the route. The specially-designed transportation service attracts over two million passengers each year.

Join A Guided Tour Of Montmartre Today!

Service begins at 6 a.m. and concludes at 12:45 a.m. daily. The average travel time is under two minutes , and the fares are one-way tickets only (which can also be purchased online). The station’s ticket booths close at midnight , so act accordingly to avoid being stranded until morning.

Paris Bus System

The most convenient way to get around Paris is the public bus system. In the daytime, buses travel to 60 destinations, and at night, they will stop at 40 locations. However, this will change if the Paris streets are experiencing traffic jams at each major intersection. It may take you several hours before you reach a crosstown location.

The daytime buses begin operation at 5:30 a.m. and end service at 8:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday. The night bus system begins at 12:30 a.m. and continues service until 5:30 a.m. Limited bus service is available on Sundays. Stops times may vary, but each bus should arrive every 15 minutes.

If you are unsure which bus to ride, an interactive bus map is the best source to track your route. It provides information on the bus number and amount of stops along the route before your desired location.

Bus fares are simple to purchase as you can select a single trip or monthly pass. It is wise to purchase your fare at a bus terminal before boarding. You can buy a ticket from the bus driver but will pay additional fees.

Paris Tramway

The original Paris Tramway system was discontinued in 1957, but local government officials re-introduced the service before the end of the 20th Century. The new tramway service offers riders a more affordable travel option to get around Paris. The interior has comfortable seating and more space to stand if desired.

There are three Paris Tramway lines :

T1 travels from the Saint-Denis station to the northern section of Paris.

T2 travels from La Defense station to Porte de Versailles station in the southern section of Paris.

T3 travels from the Links Pont du Cangliano station to the metro station in Porde d’Ivry. The fares are one-way tickets purchased by ticket operators or self-serve machines.

Tourists might want to choose other transportation options to get around Paris as the Paris Tramway travels to the outskirts of town, which has no popular attractions.

Some popular tourist attractions include the Louvre , the Champs-Elysees , the Eiffel Tower , the Notre Dame Cathedral , The Catacombs of Paris , Boulevard Montparnasse , and the Pont Neuf .

Some tourists will purchase tickets for all three bus routes, as they feel the tour gives them a better feel of the Parisian culture.

Licensed taxis are easy to identify : each vehicle will have proper signage on the roof of the taxi. The final cost of each fare is determined by a meter attached to the dashboard, and will depend on the length of the ride. The driver’s licensed badge number should be alongside the meter.

Coordinates of elektrostal in degrees and decimal minutes, utm coordinates of elektrostal, geographic coordinate systems.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
