How much money do 2 people need in Paris for sightseeing?
My husband and I are planning a small trip in Europe including three nights in Paris.
We would like to include the major tourist attractions (Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Notre Dame Cathedral, Musée d’Orsay, Sacre Coeurbut etc) but may have to take it a bit easy as I will be five months pregnant.
Including entrance fees and getting around with the metro how much money do we need for sight seeing?
Thanks!
Entrance fees vary. Many tourist sights are free. Notre Dame and Sacre Coeur, for example, are working churchs and you just walk in. There is a fee for climbing to the top of the bell tower of Notre Dame but I doubt a pregnant woman would want to try that. The Arc de Triomphe is a public space and there is no entrance fee.
Museum fees range from 10 € for the Centre Pompidou to 8.50 € for the Louvre to 6.00 € for the Rodin museum.
A trip to the top of the Eiffel tower will cost you 11.50 € and some time waiting in line (not worth it…the view of the city from the steps in front of Sacre Coeur is just as good).
Buy metro tickets by the “carnet” (a book of ten tickets) which brings the individual ticket price down to just a little over 1 € per trip. If you think you’ll hit the Metro more than 5 times in one day then buy a “mobilis” a one day pass which costs 5.60 € for zones 1 & 2 (which includes all of Paris proper).
Your exact entrance costs will therefore depend on how many sights you try to squeeze into your time while your travel costs will be no more than 5.60 € per person if you use public transportation.
