Visit the Louvre for free — Admission to the famous Louvre Museum is free the first Sunday of each month from October to March. It’s also free on Friday evenings for anyone under 26. Moreover, to avoid the massive ticket lines, enter via the Carrousel du Louvre entrance and you’ll get right to the ticket counter. You can also skip the lines if you have a Paris Museum Pass.
Save at the Musée d’Orsay — Tickets to the museum are only €9 after 4:30 p.m. (except on Thursdays, when they’re reduced to €9 from 6 p.m. until 9:45 p.m.). Entry is also free the first Sunday of the month. Regular ticket prices are €12.
Buy a Paris Museum Pass — I’m a huge fan of tourist cards, and Paris is one of the best places to get one. There are so many museums and attractions worth seeing that ticket prices can really add up quickly. The Paris Museum Pass will help. It offers free and discounted admission to 60 museums and monuments around the city, and it lets you skip the ticket lines! Prices: €48 (two days); €62 (four days); €74 (six days). It pays for itself after three museums. Heck, the Palace of Versailles is €20 alone! Get this ticket if you plan to see at least three museums!
First Sunday of the month? Free museums! – If you happen to find yourself in Paris on the first Sunday of the month between October and March, most of the city’s major museums offer free admission. During the other months, admission is free for those under 26 and in the EU. The Louvre is free on Friday nights for everyone. The downside is that they will all be super crowded as this is no secret!
Take public transport from Charles de Gaulle — Save money right when you land by taking public transportation into the city. You have two options:
Take the RER B (regional train): This option costs €10.30 and takes 25–50 minutes (depending on your destination and whether you get an express train). Once you get into the city, you can transfer to the metro to reach your final destination.
Take a bus: The “RoissyBus” costs €10 per person and takes 45–60 minutes.
Skip taxis — The subway system in Paris is very extensive and can take you anywhere you need to go. Don’t waste money on overpriced taxis.
Buy a 10-pack of metro/bus tickets — Bus and metro tickets cost €1.90 each. However, you can purchase a “carnet,” which is a pack of 10 tickets costing €14.00. It saves you a few euros — a modest saving but better than nothing!
Take the Vélib’ — Paris’ bike-share program boasts over 20,000 bikes at 1,800 stations located throughout the city. You join by purchasing a one-day pass for €5 or a one-week pass for €15. You’ll need a pin and chip card to use the machines. If you don’t have that type of credit card, you can buy a ticket online and use your access code at the stations!
Stay in hostels — Hostels offer great accommodations for those on a budget, especially since most hotels in Paris are beyond expensive. Dorm rooms in Paris start at €20, and private rooms in hostels begin around €50.
Drink in hostels — Even if you aren’t staying in hostels, you should still consider drinking at their bars. They offer amazing happy hours with beers as little as €2. They’re a great place to start your night out in Paris without busting your budget.
