Is Paris the most expensive city in the world to visit? Probably if you don’t know it well.

Discover our many solutions to visit Paris at low cost: travel, sightseeing, restaurants, accommodation… It’s all there!

Moving around Paris at low cost

Visit Paris on foot

Paris is not, apart from the periphery at rush hour, the most crowded city in the world in its most touristic parts. And curiously enough, its history has enabled it to develop a whole network of walking tours in all its districts from the banks of the Seine to the covered passages via the Pont des Arts. Stroll with your nose up, New Europe Tours offers you magnificent guided walks in Paris, accompanied by a free guide.

Paris tourist bus companies

These “bus tours”, such as Open Tour or Big Bus, sell tickets that allow you to visit the Paris you love with an explanatory commentary in your own language. But even better, you can get on and off the bus for a visit to a monument you are passionate about. Some tickets give you access to the bus and to museum visits, cruises on the Seine… In short, an enchantment, for a few dozen euros per person.

Free admission to Parisian museums

Dates to remember

Do museums have a pricing policy for art loving tourists? Of course, for your greatest pleasure!
Free entry to the major Parisian museums on the first Saturday (sometimes at night) or the first Sunday of the month will allow you to visit the most visited museums in the city for nothing!

Free museums for young people

Most of the permanent collections of the National Museums are free of charge for young people under the age of 18 and for EU citizens under 26. This free admission applies every day, without exception. Temporary exhibitions, on the other hand, are generally subject to a charge.

Free collections all year round

The vast majority of the permanent collections of Parisian museums are accessible free of charge every day for young people under the age of 18 and for those under the age of 26 who are EU citizens. Temporary exhibitions are still subject to a charge. Discover here the list of the main Parisian museums whose permanent collections are free for all, all year round.

Monuments accessible free of charge
