Experts and seasoned tourists advise those who are going to Paris to grab more pocket money, citing the fact that Paris is considered one of the most expensive cities in the world. This is true, because Paris is also the most visited city in the world. But even walking along it, you can save a lot.
Instructions
Step 1
Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, Moulin Rouge - these names are known to everyone. It is no wonder that every tourist, once in Paris, strives to visit its most famous sights. But it is also no wonder that restaurants and cafes along the hiking trails have such high prices on their menus. So, a cup of espresso here can easily cost 4-5 euros, a cappuccino 7-8, a plate of onion soup 12 euros. What is there soup, if for a bottle of plain water with a capacity of 0.25 liters you may be asked for more than 5 euros.
Step 2
With these rates, you can end up bankrupt on the very first day of your trip. To prevent this from happening, try to follow some simple rules.
Step 3
Remember that the same dishes in the same restaurant may differ significantly in price at different times. Lunches are 40-50% cheaper than dinners. If you do not want to have lunch, but just want to have a cup of coffee, then you should know that in the same cafe for the same drink three prices can be applied at the same time - for those who "drink standing", who "drink while sitting" who "drinks while sitting on the terrace". Standing at the bar, you mingle with the locals and get the same cafe twice as cheap as tourists sitting on the terrace.
Step 4
Do not go to the first place you come across, look for secret places. For example, at the Coquelicot cafe on Rue des Abbesses Nr. 18 full breakfast of coffee with a roll and homemade jam will cost 3 euros 90 cents. Against the general background of Parisian prices, one might say, almost for nothing.
Step 5
Public transport is well developed in Paris, so there is no need to spend money on a taxi. By bus or metro, you can reach any corner of the city for only 1, 10 euros.
Step 6
Once in Paris, it's hard to resist the temptation to taste real champagne. But don't order wine at a restaurant, where you will be served one glass for 25 euros. Find a wine cellar on a quiet street, of which there are plenty in Paris. You will not only save money by paying 15-25 euros for a bottle of this noble drink. Most likely, the hospitable host will offer you several varieties of wine to sample absolutely free of charge, and you will bring home not only sparkling wine, but also unforgettable memories.
