The basic Métro ticket is a small piece of cardboard with a magnetic strip that costs €1,40. It's issued by RATP, the transportation authority for the Paris region. You can save money by purchasing a carnet of 10 tickets for €10,50 at the ticket window of any Métro station or from vending machines near the turnstiles. Ask for "une billet, s'il vous plait" or "un carnet, s'il vous plait." (A carnet is simply a stack of individual tickets that you can share with family or friends.)

A single ticket will take you anywhere within the city of Paris on the Métro and RER networks, and you can transfer between lines--or between the Métro and the RER--on the same ticket. You can also use tickets from your carnet on public buses, although transfers between the rail and bus networks aren't allowed.

If you plan to use public transportation extensively, you can save even more money with these special passes:

Mobilis, a pass for one calendar day. The price depends on the zones where you intend to travel; if you plan to stay within the city, a Zone 1 pass is all you need.

Paris Visite, a tourist pass valid for one, two, three, or five calendar days. Again, the price depends on how many zones you need. Children from 4 to 11 pay half-price (kids 4 and under are free), and the card offers discounts on boat cruises and certain other tourist attractions.

The Carte Orange, which requires a passport photo, is used mostly by locals. The weekly or carte hebdomadaire pass runs from Monday to Sunday, and the monthly or carte mensuelle pass is good for one calendar month.

Other passes are available for residents (including students at universities and other schools in the Paris region).

Where to buy passes: You can buy Mobilis, Paris Visite, and Carte Orange at major Métro stations, RER stations, and railroad stations in the Ile-de-France region, including those at Paris airports. Paris Visite is also available at branches of the Paris tourist office and from our partner, Rail Europe, which also sells the Paris Museum Pass.

Tips:

*

Paris is a city that's best enjoyed on foot, so a carnet of 10 tickets is likely to be your best value unless you have limited mobility, are pressed for time, or are staying a long way from tourist attractions.

*

Don't be surprised if your US credit card doesn't work in Métro or RER ticket machines that are designed to work with European "smart cards" that have embedded chips. If your card doesn't work, just go to the ticket window.

The amount of money it costs to go to Paris depends on your starting location. Generally, the further the location, the more expensive it will be.

How much to use the metro Paris?

Depends how many trips you want to make. One ticket is 1.7€, but a CARNET of 10 is 12€. If you're just nipping around in the central area, a MOBILIS ticket costs 6.10€ for unlimited journeys in a single day. Travelling outside the gates of Paris (Zones 1&2) is extra on this one, but only about 2€ per zone. Tourists generally don't go outside the central zone, anyway, except for La Défense, which is in zone 3. Finally, a PARIS VISITE ticket for one day includes unlimited travel in zones 1 & 2, plus reductions of 20-30% on various monuments and attractions, and costs 9.3€. Children under 10 go half-price on most tickets, and there is a weekend ticket for under-26s called TICKET JEUNES WEEKEND, usable only on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, costing an incredible 3.40€. NOTE: The PARIS-VISITE ticket has a special ID card which goes with it, so you need to buy it at the metro station, OR online (http://www.parisinfo.com/reservation-express/produits/paris-visite); the ticket and card are then mailed to you; but allow 14 days for delivery to USA, 7 days for Europe. All these tickets are valid for Metro, bus and RER within the stated zones.
