The Paris Pass

Did I mention that Paris is the most visited city in the World and that you are going to spend forever in lines if you don't plan your trip carefully?

I bought the Paris Pass for us prior to our trip and it was great. We skipped lines at the Louvre, D'Orssay and Rodin Museums and that saved us precious vacation time.

The Paris' Metro

The best way to get everywhere in Paris is to take the Metro (Subway). I Guarantee that there's a Metro station a few meters away where you are staying and also a few meters away from your desired destination. If you own an iPhone you may want to buy the Guide Metro Paris app that is extremely easy to use. You just select your departing station and your destination station and the app will show you where you have to change stations, estimated travel time, etc. Very convenient.

 

Skipping lines in Paris

Paris is the most visited city in the World and there are very long lines at the main attractions and you may be in line forever before you are able to see what you really want to see. We booked a Skip the line Eiffell Tower tour with Fat Tire folks and it was a great investment. We probably had no more than 20 people in our group and did not spend any time in line at all. We took the elevator to the second level and our guide knew her way around and was extremely helpful. Totally recommend their services.

Tallinn - Estonia

We spent only one day visiting Tallinn (Estonia) but really enjoyed it.

Here are a couple of pictures I took over there:

Almost midnight in Paris

Did not see any old cars going by.

Paris

Paris is such a fantastic place.

Here are a few suggestions to help you enjoy your visit:

Tip #1:
The Metro will take you everywhere.
If you own an iPhone look for the free Metro app that will help you navigate the Metro network. Clean and safe.

Tip # 2:
Buy a Paris pass as that will give you priority access to tons of museums.

We skipped a huge line at the Louvre yesterday. The less time you spend in line the more time you will have to see other places you want to see.

Next trip

Getting ready for our next trip.

My wife does a good job packing everything and I only take care of packing the camera and other gadgets.

Can't wait to travel again.
