Local Transportation

Students have many transportation options in Paris. The cheapest, easiest and fastest way to get around Paris is the metro. There are 16 metro lines and about 300 metro stations. You can purchase a Metro pass upon arrival in downtown Paris. This pass allows use of the metro, bus, and trams within the city day and night.

Beyond the city limits (for example, when traveling to/from the airport or Versailles) you can use the Suburban Express Railway (RER). You’ll need separate tickets here, as your city metro pass will not be valid on these journeys.

You can also travel via transilien (regional train), tramway and buses.
