How do I get around Paris?

The Metro covers the whole city and is the fastest way around. A Navigo Easy card or a carnet of tickets is cheaper than buying singles, and a day pass pays off if you are hopping between sights. Most of the centre is walkable, and the RER trains reach Versailles and both airports.

Which areas are best to stay in Paris?

For a first trip the 1st to 7th arrondissements put you within walking distance of the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and the Seine. The Marais in the 3rd and 4th is central and lively, while Montmartre in the 18th is pretty but hilly and further out. Solo travellers tend to like the Marais and the Latin Quarter for the cafés and easy transport.

Is Paris safe for solo travellers?

Paris is a safe city to visit on your own. The main thing to watch is pickpocketing on the Metro, around the Eiffel Tower and on the Champs-Élysées, plus distraction scams near the big sights. Keep bags zipped and your phone away in crowds and you will be fine.
