Lodging

Your accommodations in Paris can be chosen based on how long you stay there. If you are planning to stay a long time, you may want to consider renting an apartment or studio. If you plan to stay for a short amount of time, you can choose a location that is easy to reach from your arrival or departure point. Either way, you are sure to find what you are looking for between the high end, fashionable hotels and inexpensive, budget hotels.

Transportation

Paris is well connected by the major airlines, European trains, and bus lines. The Paris Metro System is vast, efficient and covers every part of the city. Travelling in buses is easy but can be slowed by traffic. It is wise to book as much as possible in advance during peak seasons since air and train fares may increase due to popular demand.
