Planning your trip to Paris
Best time to visit
April to June and September to October offer mild weather and reasonable crowds. August is quieter than expected since many Parisians leave the city, but some smaller restaurants close for the month. December has Christmas markets and light shows but colder, shorter days.
How many days you need
Four to five days lets you see the major museums and monuments without rushing, plus a slower day in a neighborhood like the Marais or Montmartre.
Getting around
The metro is extensive, cheap and the fastest way around; most attractions are a short walk from a station. Walking between nearby sights (Louvre to Notre-Dame, for example) is often quicker than waiting for transit.
What to skip
The area immediately around the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur has persistent souvenir sellers and overpriced cafés; walk a few streets away for better prices and a calmer pace.
