Frequently asked questions about your dream Parisian getaway
How can I get to Paris for a city break?
You can start your city break in Paris from wherever you want – from Warsaw, Krakow, Berlin, London, Amsterdam or any other European city. Paris has excellent rail connections (including the famous Eurostar from London and TGV from many European capitals), as well as easy road access. With MultiWander, we offer flexible travel options and will help you find the best connections for your weekend in Paris.
What is the best time to visit Paris?
The best time for a Paris city break is April – June and September – October. During these months, you can enjoy pleasant weather (15-25°C), blooming gardens, smaller crowds and lower prices compared to peak season. July and August are very warm and crowded, but perfect for picnics along the Seine and evening strolls. Winter (November – February) is chilly and rainy, but has its charm – holiday illuminations, shorter queues at museums and the magical atmosphere of Parisian cafés.
Can I combine Paris with another destination?
Yes, absolutely! Paris is the perfect starting point for exploring France and Europe. You can easily and quickly combine Paris with London (Eurostar – 2h 20m), Brussels (TGV – 1h 30m), Amsterdam (Thalys – 3h 20m) or Geneva (TGV – 3h). Within France, we also recommend Provence, the French Riviera (Nice, Cannes) or the Loire Valley. We offer two-destination city break packages that allow you to experience Paris and another amazing destination.
Do I need to book Louvre and Eiffel Tower tickets in advance?
Yes, it is absolutely necessary. The Louvre and the Eiffel Tower are the most visited attractions in Paris, and tickets often sell out weeks in advance, especially during peak season. We strongly recommend booking tickets online before your city break in Paris. As part of our Paris travel packages, we can add skip-the-line tickets to the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Musée d’Orsay and other masterpieces of Parisian art – saving you time and stress.
