For those moments when you prefer to explore independently, Paris boasts an extensive and efficient public transportation system. Furthermore, look at your options in detail.
The Paris Métro is the backbone of the city’s public transport, connecting virtually every corner of Paris with its 16 lines and over 300 stations.
Frequency and Operating Hours: Trains run every 2-3 minutes during peak hours and every 5-10 minutes during off-peak times. Operating hours are from 5:30 AM to 12:30 AM on weekdays and until 2:00 AM on weekends.
Accessibility: Most stations are equipped with escalators and elevators, making them accessible for people with disabilities. However, some older stations may not have these facilities.
The Réseau Express Régional (RER) trains complement the Métro by connecting central Paris to its suburbs and surrounding areas. This is particularly useful for those staying outside the city center or planning day trips to nearby attractions like Versailles.
Lines and Coverage: The RER consists of five lines (A, B, C, D, and E) that serve both urban and suburban areas.
Ticketing: A single ticket can be used for both the Métro and RER within Paris zones 1-2.
Buses and trams provide an excellent alternative to the Métro and RER, offering routes that cover the entire city.
Bus Routes: With over 60 bus routes, you can reach even the most remote parts of Paris. Buses run from 7:00 AM to 8:30 PM, with some lines operating later into the night.
Tram Lines: The tram network consists of 10 lines (T1 to T10) that run primarily in the suburbs, linking with the Métro and RER for seamless transfers.
