The experience in Paris was great. We were able to visit and enjoy many beautiful places. It's worth simply adding.
Everything went super
Well organized, everything went well. Financially, the Paris City Pass will perhaps only stay 3 days, because otherwise you do not create so many destinations and museums. For us, the faster entry into the Louvre and the Arc de Triomph was decisive, with the Louvre still being quite "shopped": the best way to do this is to climb the top of the glass pyramid, always pass the passport and ask each queue whether Is right here. LG ER PS: The Seine tour and the Arc de Triomph at sunset were very nice!
Paris to the national holiday
We are quite satisfied with the Paris City Pass, especially on the Seine.
Being able to skip the line at the Louvre was wonderful and the river boat cruise was a much needed time to rest the weary feet. 2 out of the 5 in our group had trouble with the transportation passes but there was always someone at the window to help. The agent just issued another pass but then the next time we used the pass it didn't work again so another was issued. We had to do that all weekend. You get so many benefits we couldn't even see everything!!
I was very satisfied with the turbopass. We certainly saved a lot and could uninhibitedly also temporarily by a short time in a museum, even if we had not planned so before. The queue can be bypassed with the turbopass unfortunately not always, because one must also remember that in Paris almost every tourist is in possession of a turbopass is. Nice is also that we could use any means of transport just like that. You should use this in any case! Something a pity I found that in the Turbopass no Eifelturm tickets are contained, but it was then on site no problem, these still to get. We enjoyed the trip with Turbopass loosely twice as much fun. Gladly again
This is the perfect way to visit all the museums without having to order all the tickets in advance.
Also having a card for the subway is the perfect way to enjoy without having to buy tickets on machines that are not that easy to use.
the only negative point is that the subway ticket 3 day period starts for example on Monday and stops on Wednesday.
Whether you start it in the afternoon or in the evening it goes from Monday till Wednesday.
In Holland, when you buy a subway ticket, it counts hours so if you need a ticket for 3 days and start at 16 o'clock Monday you can use your ticket for 72 hours (3 days) so until Thursday 15:59 o'clock.
The best way to explore paris
I must concede that the investment has paid more than just. If you look at the sum you would have had to pay for the entrance to museums or sights, it is clear that the passport can save a lot of money. It works really great in everyday life. We did not know any problems. In the Louvre, we were able to go through just what really saved a lot of time. I would like to point out, however, the Palace of Versailles. There is no priority access included in the pass, which then led to the fact that we had to wait 2 hours for the entrance. The use of the attached Metro tickets is very easy and easy for everyone to understand. Why only 4 stars will surely ask some people? That has a simple reason. The pass allows you to look at museums and other sights even faster than other people, with the help of priority access, as quickly as possible without additional costs and effort. We had a 3 day pass. However, this is a personal assessment on the part of you, you have the feeling that you have to take as much as possible with you as much as possible, so that the money will pay off. This then led to the fact that we often in the days 3 or 4 attractions or sights were perceived equally, which could be very stressful. This remains like a personal taste, but in Paris, we have driven a bit as much as possible, although we could have done much less. Where then the price might have disturbed us. All in all, the Paris City Pass is more than just recommended.
The Seine boat trip was just wonderful. The metro tickets were fully utilized in fantastic weather. The waiting times at the museums and places of interest were understandably considerable by the security controls.
The City Pass for Paris really pays off if you want to experience a lot and you are over 26 years old (under 26, you pay very often no entrance). Unfortunately, the Eiffel Tower was not included in the Paris City Pass. What I found a pity is that despite the Paris City Passes you can not get around.
Turbopass was more than helpful. It has most of the important tourist attractions. A 4 day city pass has 5 days of unlimited access to public transport in zone 1 , 2 and 3. What I should have wanted to visit and I couldn't with this pass was Grand Palais. Overall it was great. Also I had some questions to ask, so I called a couple of times at Turbopass customer support and they were more than happy to help me and answer my questions. This is what I liked the most.
The open-bus lines were a very good addition to the turbopass. This hop-on-hop-off-bus allows you to view the interesting sights of Paris flexibly over 4 routes and to get information about the city through the Audioguide. The roof terrace in the Lafayette department store offers a great view - the house is definitely worth seeing from the style and decor. Breakfast in small boulangeries at squares and in side streets is always preferable to a hotel breakfast, because one gets the French way of life the best.
The pass is worth it for tourists who want to explore Paris on their own and at the same time see a lot of sights and cultural institutions.
Thanks to the 30% rebate of the CityPass for Paris stay was recommended. But you have to be a museum friend to him really to nützen.Sonst it is stressful.
extensive information material about sights, museums, city map, metro map etc. With ticket to get very quickly to queue past (except Palace of Versailles - here was the CityPass less useful). We would book the Turbo Pass again.
A must for every Paris visit
Good and useful, but not cheap. Nevertheless, I would do it again.
