Don’t hesitate to travel by bus, because it’s a great way to discover the city. There are a wide variety of routes, many of which go through the city center, along the Seine River banks or through well-known historical areas. The bus network with its 59 routes perfectly matches and complements that of the metro. The installation of special bus lanes along the main roads has improved journey times. For an idea of your journey time, allow around 5 minutes per stop, sometimes more if the traffic is busy. Buses operate from Monday to Saturday from 7:00 am to 8.30 pm or thereabouts.

It is highly recommend that tourists take public transportation rather than private cars.
