How much
does it cost to train into central Paris?
Note: as from 2 Jan 2025, the cost of a single
trip on the entire transilien network (RER, metro, trains... but not
buses) will be €2.50
per journey (including connections). The
Paris Visite pass will be maintained at the daily price of
€29.90, but will
no longer be very attractive.
For journeys to/from Paris airports,
the fare will be €13, regardless of the means of transport.
If you plan to make more than 5 journeys in a day (not including
to/from an airport ), take the Navigo Jour pass instead
(price:
€12).
While it is possible to just buy a simple return ticket from the
nearest train or RER station for a journey into Paris and back (if
you're just going in for a business appointment or a single visit), it
is likely to work out cheaper (and less hassle) to buy a "Paris visite"
pass, giving you unlimited use of bus, metro, RER and suburban trains
within the area chosen, for one, two, three or five days
Prices have recently
gone
down (something that is sufficiently unusual for us to
mention it) !
In 2024, Paris
Visite travel card prices are (if bought from
machines in
a station):
Inner
area (zones 1-3): adult rate.
1 day - €13.95 : 2 days -
€22.65 : 3 days - €30.90 - 5 days : €44.45
All zones (zones 1-5) adult rate :
1 day - 29.25 € : 3 days -
62.30 €uros - 5 days : 76.25 €uros
Children: half the price
Buy passes at the station when you first go into Paris; don't buy them
on line in advance, as you could end up paying more or
a lot
more, even from the Paris tourist office. Most of the hotels
on this page are in the outer zone.
