The best way to see Paris is by hopping onto a bus. Other affordable options for transport include the Metro, RER trains and Taxis. Hiring a car is not the best option because parking is very difficult to find, rather opt for renting a bicycle or a motor scooter.

Wear comfortable shoes and carry a travel umbrella with you because Paris is known for its unexpected rain showers any time of year.
