                              <\/span>When to go to Paris: weather in Paris<\/span><\/h2>\n\n

                              Weather in \n Paris<\/a>\n<\/strong> is not too different from our weather, summers are warm, only winters are a bit milder than here. Generally it does not rain too often here. The hottest months are July and August, the coldest month is January. You can therefore go to Paris in spring, summer and autumn. <\/p>\n\n

                              <\/span>How to get to Paris<\/span><\/h2>\n\n

                              Paris is quite accessible from the Czech Republic and you can choose from several options for travel.<\/p>\n\n

                              <\/span>By car to Paris<\/span><\/h2>\n\n

                              We don’t recommend travelling by car to Paris because, as in big cities, you will have to deal with parking and quite heavy traffic. It is far more convenient to fly to Paris.<\/p>\n\n

                              <\/span>By car from Prague<\/span><\/h3>\n\n

                              If you are travelling by car from Prague, you have a choice of the three fastest routes, but they are very similar to each other and merge in certain sections. In all cases, you will go to Nuremberg first.<\/p>\n\n

                                \n
                              1. From Nuremberg you will continue straight on to Heilbronn, Saarbr\u00fccken and then on to Reims and Paris. It is the fastest route, taking you 9 hours 27 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                              2. From Nuremberg, you’ll go to Heilbronn and Mannheim again, but in Saarbr\u00fccken you’ll turn off to Luxembourg and rejoin the route in Reims. This route is the longest, taking 10 hours and 28 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                              3. The third option is to go from Nuremberg towards W\u00fcrzburg, Mainz, and then connect again to Saarbr\u00fccken. This ride will take 9 hours and 57 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

                                <\/span>By car from Brno<\/span><\/h3>\n\n

                                If you are coming from Brno, you will have the same options, again you will first head to Nuremberg, then you will choose one of the three routes according to the current situation. The most comfortable and fastest way is to take the motorway from Brno to Prague and from there to Germany.<\/p>\n\n

                                <\/span>By bus to Paris<\/span><\/h2>\n\n

                                If you don’t have the option (or just don’t want) to drive, RegioJet and Flixbus<\/a> provide direct bus connections to Paris. <\/strong>A one-way ticket costs on average CZK 1,000, but they can cost less. Buses mostly run overnight and the journey takes on average around 14 hours. Both companies run about twice a week.<\/p>\n\n

                                <\/span>By train to Paris<\/span><\/h2>\n\n

                                While it is possible to get to Paris by train, it is probably the least convenient option. A one-way ticket costs around CZK 2,000, the journey takes around 16 hours, and you change trains a few times, mostly in Germany. There are no direct train services to Paris.<\/p>\n\n

                                <\/span>By air to Paris<\/span><\/h2>\n\n

                                On the other hand, it is most convenient to fly to Paris by plane. Paris has three airports that can be reached by direct flight from Prague. To the airport \n Paris-Charles de Gaulle <\/a>\n<\/strong>is served by Air France, Vueling and CSA. Read, \n how to get cheap flights. <\/a>\n<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

                                Transavia flies to Paris-Orly airport and if you prefer low cost airlines, then Ryanair flies to Paris-Beauvais airport. The cheapest tickets start at CZK 1,800, but they are usually between CZK 3,000 and 5,000.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

                                <\/span>Where to stay strategically in Paris<\/span><\/h2>\n\n

                                We recommend staying right in the centre so you can walk as much as possible. If you like delicious breakfasts, we recommend a cheaper hotel with smaller rooms from the ibis Paris Bastille Faubourg St Antoine<\/a> chain. Mary’s Hotel R\u00e9publique is also very close to the centre. A short walk from the Louvre, you will find the excellent Maison Armance<\/a> – Esprit de France.<\/p>\n\n

                                <\/span>How to get around Paris<\/span><\/h2>\n\n

                                The best way to get around Paris is by metro, but of course there are also buses and taxis. <\/p>\n\n

                                <\/span>Public transport tickets and where to buy them<\/span><\/h3>\n\n

                                Public transport tickets in Paris are divided by time period and zone, so it’s a good idea to know how often and where you plan to travel in Paris and choose your ticket accordingly. You can then get them e.g. in newsagents or vending machines at metro stations. <\/p>\n\n

                                In all cases, you can also pay by card. You can also get discount cards that include all public transport and other discounts and good deals. The best value tourist card is the Paris City Pass<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

                                <\/span>Metro<\/span><\/h3>\n\n

                                The most common and fastest way to get around Paris is by metro. The metro takes you everywhere in the city and has stations near all the major sights. The Paris metro has 16 lines in total, but everything is very clear and simple.<\/p>\n\n

                                <\/span>Tram<\/span><\/h3>\n\n

                                If you only want to move a short distance around the centre, you can also use the trams. They have only 10 lines, designated T1 – T10. However, they don’t currently operate outside of the centre itself and it’s a relatively expensive option to move.<\/p>\n\n

                                <\/span>Round<\/span><\/h3>\n\n

                                A very common means of transport in Paris is the bicycle, so it would be a shame not to take advantage of this opportunity. Almost the entire city is flat and there is an interesting cycle path around the Seine River. You can also reach all the sights by bike and there are bike rental stations almost all over the city. <\/strong>You can rent a bike through a machine and pay by card. However, all the main sights are very close to each other, so they are also very accessible on foot.<\/p>\n\n

                                <\/span>Paris without a tour operator: Historical sights<\/span><\/h2>\n\n

                                Paris offers plenty of historical sights you shouldn’t put off visiting. Let’s take a look at what to see in Paris.<\/p>\n\n

                                <\/span>1) Eiffel Tower<\/span><\/h3>\n\n

                                The most famous symbol of Paris, the Eiffel Tower was built in 1889 and was the largest building in the world until 1930.<\/strong> It stands 324 metres tall and was built to commemorate the centenary of the Great French Revolution. It was originally intended to stand on the site only temporarily, but was eventually left until now. <\/p>\n\n

                                The tower has a total of three observation platforms, at heights of 57 metres, 115 metres and 276 metres. NThere are stairs, a cable car, and an elevator from the second to the third floor. On the first floor there is a restaurant, a caf\u00e9, a cinema with films about the history of the building and a glass floor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

                                You can buy tickets to the tower either online in advance or at the door, and prices will vary depending on which floor you plan to ascend, and whether you use the stairs or the lift.<\/p>\n\n

                                <\/span>Where to buy tickets for the Eiffel Tower?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n

                                We prefer to buy our tickets for attractions through GetYourGuide<\/a> because everything always works smoothly,<\/strong> you don’t have to queue for tickets anywhere and the price is always the same as when you buy them at the official places. <\/p>\n\n
