First-Time Paris Travel Tips: Tickets, Hotels, the Metro and More

Planning a first trip to Paris? Book Eiffel Tower summit tickets several weeks ahead, especially in spring and summer, as slots can sell out quickly. Where you stay matters. Le Marais, Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the Latin Quarter can be better bases for walking around than hotels near the Eiffel Tower. The Louvre is also too large for a rushed visit, so choose the collections or artworks you most want to see beforehand. The Metro is usually the quickest way to get around, and learning a few key lines before arrival can save time. Beyond the major landmarks, consider Montmartre, Canal Saint-Martin and the Luxembourg Gardens for a quieter side of the city. What is one Paris tip you wish you had known before your first visit?
