How much budget for traveling to Paris?
Your trip to Paris is fast approaching, and you're eager to discover the treasures of the City of Light? We understand. The French capital is not the most visited destination in the world for nothing. To help you organize your trip effectively, we'll explain below the budget you should plan for.
How much does it cost to stay and eat in Paris?
Given the variety of accommodations in Paris, you shouldn't have much difficulty finding a hotel for your stay. However, it may be more challenging to find a room that perfectly fits your budget. Paris is a highly sought-after city and hotel prices can sometimes be high. Luxurious 4 or 5-star hotels offer rooms starting from €150 per night. Some even have much higher rates, reaching up to €500 per night. Of course, at this price point, the quality of service is exceptional!
If your budget doesn't allow for such expenses, know that the average price of a basic hotel room in Paris is around €70 to €80. With some searching, you can even stay right in the heart of the city for €50. It's advisable to book in advance! However, the least expensive option for accommodation in Paris remains youth hostels, where beds are available starting from €15 per night. Unfortunately, there are very few of these within central Paris.
Unless you are staying with locals and have the ability to cook your meals, you will need to budget for food. A breakfast, choosing from bakery specialties, should not cost you much, around €5 per person. For lunch or dinner, it's entirely possible to find establishments offering a full menu starting from approximately €12, although prices typically range between €15 and €25. To save some money, consider grabbing a quick lunch, for example. It's a good way to reduce your expenses a bit.
What budget is needed to visit and get around Paris?
The city of Paris has over 2 million inhabitants. Even though its surface area is relatively small compared to other metropolises, it will be difficult to visit the city without using public transportation. Therefore, you should factor these expenses into your budget. A single T+ ticket costs €1.90 and allows you to use Paris public transport: the metro, RER within zone 1, and Île-de-France buses. The Paris Visite pass allows unlimited travel across these networks for a set period. A 5-day pass for adults costs €37.25 for zones 1-3, and €63.90 for zones 1-5.
As for museum visits, expect to pay around €15 per adult, with often reduced costs for children.
