For Brits, Paris is an ideal destination for a cheap weekend break, with just a 1 hour flight from the UK, or 2 hours and 15 minutes by Eurostar, it's also very easy to get to. But for such a big city, the number of hotels are endless, so which do you choose? The chic B&B in the heart of St. Germain or one of Montmartre's modern hotels?
The key to Paris is all about the budget and what you plan to do? If you're staying for just a short time, a hotel in the centre of Paris, such as Le Marais, is ideal and perfect for getting about town quickly. If you're planning on having a bit of extra free time and are on a budget, you can save by booking a hotel in the suburbs and commuting in to the sights of the French capital.
Eurostar trains from the heart of London take as little as 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Charles de Gaulle airport is located a bit further out of the city but very easy to get to. Ideal for those flying from other areas of the UK.
By far the best way to get around Paris is by Metro, offering fast and efficient travel around the numerous arrondissements.
Another great way to see the main sights and attractions is by the Hop-on Hop-off bus tours, with 24 hour and 72 hour tickets available.
