This blog will go over the best ways to get around Paris, what to know about the Olympic stadiums and events, and how to enjoy the time you spend there. Read on to learn more!
Getting Around Paris During the Olympics
Paris has some of the best public transportation systems, including a wide range of trams, buses, and metro systems. This makes Paris very quick and convenient, especially if you want to go sightseeing while you are there. You can take the metro, which is the fastest and most efficient way to move around the city. With 16 lines and over 300 different stations, it is easy to reach just about any destination. Think about getting a Paris Visite travel pass for unlimited traveling on the bus, metro, and trams, which can help save you both time and money. Buses and trams are great for sightseeing and reaching destinations that you can’t reach on the metro. The bus routes cover a large portion of the city, and trams offer scenic routes along the outside of Paris. Taxis are also widely available in Paris, but they can be pricey. Bikes are a fun option for the bike-friendly city with various bike rental stations.
What to Bring into the Olympic Stadiums
With the Paris Olympics around the corner, the Olympic Stadiums are gearing up for a few exciting weeks. To make sure you are having a fantastic time, we have put together a guide on which essentials to bring and things to steer clear of when you visit these spots:
- ID: Carry a valid ID at all times if you are asked to show it. This can be a driver’s license, passport, or government-issued ID.
- Small bags: only smaller bags are allowed. Oversized bags, backpacks, or luggage won’t be allowed in for security reasons.
- Water: It gets very hot in Paris during the summer, so try to pack a water bottle that can be refilled at different points in the stadium and around the city for the different festivities
