Hey everyone,
I live in Paris and wanted to share some honest tips to help you enjoy the city without the usual traps. Here’s how to make your stay smooth and unforgettable:
Get a visitor pass (like the Paris Museum Pass or Navigo Découverte). It’ll save you time and money.
Avoid school holidays – Paris is so much better when it’s less crowded.
Book in advance for major attractions (Eiffel Tower, Louvre, etc.). The lines can be as long as the Seine.
Be mindful of where you book your hotel. Some areas in the north and east can be sketchy.
Watch out for pickpockets, especially in touristy places and public transport.
Explore and enjoy! Get lost in the small streets, discover local cafés, and soak in the atmosphere.
To sum up:
Paris is stunning, yes – but don’t forget it’s a real city too. Magical, intense, full of life… and sometimes a bit chaotic.
Keep your eyes open, your mind curious, and your heart wide.
