Many money saving tips are available when traveling in Paris. Understanding the system used to rate Paris Hotels is important, as it has no correlation to any other rating system in use. Checking traveler reviews of hotels in Paris, and visiting the prontohotel.com website to view photos and amenities is recommended before booking. Consider small boutique Paris Hotels in great locations, such as the Hotel Louvre Forum, which is just a few minute’s walk to the Louvre.
Previous Paris travelers have several tips to recommend: Always use the Metro to get around; there is no need for taxis. The first Sunday of the month is free day at most museums. Ordering from the fixed price menu at restaurants save lots of money. Exchanging money before a trip to Paris is unnecessary, as the best exchange rates can be had by using credit cards or withdrawing from ATM machines.
A great time to visit the Eiffel Tower is just before dusk. The tourists are dwindling and there is still time and daylight to see everything before the Tower is lit at dark, which is a completely different sight to behold.
