My first trip to Paris was in 2015, so I was interested to see how the city had changed when I went back for a weekend getaway...

In this video, I'm sharing 20 Paris travel tips for first-time visitors, and you might even be surprised by a few of them if you've been to Paris before 👀

dinner before 8? that's going to be tough with a baby who wants to sleep at 6

— @Mr.DMZ.

I definitely got a bit surprised by some of these things when I went to Paris this time.

Let me know what you think about these tips, or share your own tips for visiting Paris in the comment section 🤝

Thanks, I can scratch Paris off my list, for now

Where to stay in Paris Guide:

You can find rude people all around the world. It doesn’t mean that Budapest is really a bad place just because you had 1 or 2 bad experiences.

TOTALLY in accordance with L'Eglise St Ethienne du Mont...It's like walking into Jewel box. I believe It's Rococo
BUT, as for Sacre Coeur, I strongly recommend dealing with the afternoon crowds in order to secure a table for dinner at one of the local tourist trap Restau so you may sit through Twilight & watch all of Paris light-up at your feet...PRICELESS!

The same thing happened to me when I went to the Tokyo Tower. There was too much fog for me to see anything

Drinking Heineken beer in Paris... I'm from the Netherlands and even there I will not drink that. It is not terrible but there are so much better beers to get, even in Paris.

It was a rainy Sunday in February when we visited which may have been the reason we didn't have any encounters with the scammers. We'd parked the other side of Montmartre and approached up the steps from the less touristy side so maybe that's a better way to arrive.

I am going very soon, and Saint Germaine was where I wanted to stay, but the price is very expensive there to me anyway. I’m Canadian and our exchange rate is so bad that everything is expensive in the end. I just moved down a bit from the sixth arondissmant and it was much cheaper. About five minutes walking and $200 difference

The Hotel Luxembourg Parc costs around twice as much as other hotels in that area. Did you pay for that or is this a sponsorship arrangement?

I don't understand the obsession with the Eiffel Tower, tbh. The view of Paris is not worth it unless you can see the Eiffel Tower? It's just a metal sculpture. I'll probably go because others I'm traveling with want to, but it's definitely not a big deal to me

Paris is getting a bit sketchy lately and it feels very uncomfortable.

Paris is that city in Africa?!?

So ... do I understand correctly. If you buy a ticket for the TOP of the Eiffeltower, you cannot hang out on the second floor?? 😞 I thought it was 2. floor or both 2 and top... ? 🤔

I am sorry to hear about the rail from the airport. I have an apt in 17th Arrod...I don't want to take a taxi that distance. I am travelling alone...

Don't go into the "strip clubs". These are not like the ones in America, you have to sit with a lady and buy a bottle of marked up cheap wine that could cost you a mortgage payment. If you try to leave without buying anything, the doormen get aggressive. Don't walk in.

@al1665

would you recommend renting a car at any point? i know you mentioned the metro which I'm sure we'll be using a lot, but what would you say?

Great video! Which Galeries Lafayette are you referring to? Searching Google Maps there are quite a few.. TIA :)

I was just in Paris for four days, and can confirm that the "rude French" myth. Every single person I interacted with was wonderful. You are correct: a quick "Bonjour" makes a big difference!

So glad to hear that Paris has taken action to prevent people placing love locks. Those things are as ugly and annoying as grafitti.

Just come back from france. The French people are great! So helpful and great sense of humour. Made sure to start conversation in French and most people switched to English naturally.
