Money tips for Paris
Cost of Paris — FAQ
Plan on €85–€150 per adult per day for food, local transport and attractions. Accommodation and intercity flights are extra.
A 7-day trip comes to about €595–€1,050 per person for food, transport and sightseeing, or roughly €1,190–€2,100 for two travellers sharing costs like taxis and museum passes differently.
No — deliberately. Stays vary hugely by season and booking window, so they are compared separately on the hotel search, and flights on the flight search. Everything else you will swipe or tap for is counted here.
Restaurants: Optional, round up. Service is included by law ("service compris") — extra tips are a bonus, not expected.
