On the Go in Paris: Apps to Simplify Your Travel Experience
Paris, the City of Light, is one of the world's most beloved travel destinations but navigating the landmarks, charming cafes, and rich history can seem like a challenge, especially for first-time visitors. That's where technology becomes a Travelher’s best friend.
Whether you're looking for directions, recommendations on the best local cuisine, or a way to learn more about the city's history and culture, there's an app for that. Here are just a few of the apps we recommend to use while on the go in Paris:
Bonjour RATP - This app provides information on public transportation schedules, maps, and routes for the Parisian metro, buses, and RER. It's perfect for getting around the city quickly and efficiently. It will also send you notifications for and closures due to construction (or strikes).
Paris Pass - Save money on multiple museum entries and experiences. From the Louvre to cruises on the Seine, this pass is worth grabbing if you’re in Paris for a multi-day adventure!
Paris Museum Pass - For art and culture lovers, the Paris Museum Pass provides multiple entries to the city's top museums and galleries.
Duolingo - While French is a beautiful language, it can be challenging to learn. Duolingo is a free app that offers interactive language lessons and quizzes, perfect for those looking to brush up on their French before or during their trip. Conversely, it’s you’re strictly looking for a quick translation, we recommend Google Translate.
Instagram - Not only is Instagram a platform or documenting your travels but we also recommend using it to find the best places to explore by following your favorite guides to the city, like @frenchguytheo.
These are just a few of the many apps available to simplify your travel experience in Paris and navigate the city with ease. As always, if you have any other app suggestions that are specific to travel or Paris, let us know!
