This is the most basic option, but it’ll still get you far. The main perk is that unlike all other tourist passes, it offers unlimited use of all public transport – including Metro, bus, tram, RER and airport transfers. A magical one-hour cruise on the Seine, taking in the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Notre-Dame, is also included. Cost: €69 for three days, €89 for five.
You’ve arrived at the airport. It’s crowded, everyone's going all over the place, you’re slightly dozy… and the holiday hasn’t even begun yet.
But don’t panic – we’ve found one way to make everything run more smoothly over the next few days. Enter the Paris Region Pass, the best way to get the most out of the city, cheaply and in a short time. All you have to do is pick one of three packages online, and decide which venue to pick your passes up at (you can choose the Tourist Information Centres in the airports CDG- Paris Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly as well as Disneyland and Galeries Lafayette - L’Homme), then bring a confirmation along and pay when you arrive. It’s handy, simple and fast, in every way.
