I feel like the double decker buses are rarely worth it, only if you are there for a day or two. The metro and regular buses are much cheaper. You can easily have a 30-40 dollar day if you go to a museum like the Louvre or the Centre Pompidou, you can spend all day in there.

[@princeflurry]

In your opinion do you think the Louvre is worth visiting?

[@Caspitein]

@@princeflurry Yeah, 100%. So many famous works to see there, you can spend an entire day in there and still not see everything. Avoid spending time at the Mona Lisa though, you can get a good enough view from the side :)

[@princeflurry]

@Caspitein You said I could spend the entire day there and still not see everything. Is that because it's very busy or because it's a very big place?

[@Caspitein]

@@princeflurry Mainly because it's so big. It can be crowdy, but that's mainly at the famous artworks like Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and Liberty Leading the People. It's definitely worth it to make the Louvre an (almost) all-day activity.

Just Ran into your channel a few minutes ago, It is thee channel I’ve been either looking for &/or wanting to create myself.

[@uptin]

Ahah thanks! What are you waiting for?

[@mimisvida6264]

Good insight on Paris with good prices. Paris is on my bucket list. I can't wait to go.

[@danielswarovski6462]

Wow... those queues at The Louvre are insane! There's absolutely no way to avoid ? Also that dining with a stranger would be so terrifying for me 😂😂

[@gordanbabic8028]

there is an easy way to avoid it. just buy your ticket on line. you can do it even a couple of hours before your planned visit

[@elaceaceak2357]

1:03 because it's without anything in it 😂😂 in Lebanon we have it with cheese or chocolate or zaatar but never alone 😂

Love your videos

[@RaniaKaram]

As a Lebanese who grew up studying french and reading a lot of french books, I was overcome with emotion walking the streets of Paris :) and now still, watching this video. 4:29 Yes, Paris has a lot going for her, Hollywood, sex symbol, good weather, cafés, cuisine, fashion, awesome architecture from a lot of historical periods, gardens, city of love, romantic street lights (long before electricity), but also a huge collection of fine arts, a lot of it of international fame. My favorite museum is The Musée d'Orsay, I like impressionist and post impressionist art more than renaissance stuff. For me personally though, Paris also represents Freedom, and Freedom of expression. Not perfect (no country is), but there is a reason why a lots of writers and artists came to "share their ideas" in Paris over the centuries.

[@weshouldsaveourselves6780]

Freedom of expression?? Is that why women are not allowed to wear the niqab or the hijab in school?

[@FreddyMartinez-vt4fz]

I would never spend $40 to ride a bus lol

[@mintchyhouse]

Paris is a great city . I visited a couple of times . Enjoy your visit . Bienvenue a Paris

[@Floreyes96]

Hey Uptin, how do you recommend moving around the city and how much should I expect to spend on transportation?

[@mohamedzulfakhar]

I think if you skipped the Big Bus, you might have stretched the 100 dollars a lot more. 😊

[@uptin]

Yes but it was a really nice way to see and discover the city! So worth it

[@ByLeeooo]

@@uptin it’s really not worth it. The fact that you promote this tourist trap really saddens me

[@gordanbabic8028]

@@ByLeeooo he was lucky. he had a cloudy day. if it was sunny he would go mad on that upper deck stuck in the traffic. Also Uptin, cappucino in Paris doesn't usually cost 5 USD. I think you confused it with Starbucks

[@kiranp5611]

If you are ready to walk and explore a lot. Then metro ticket is way worth it. Yeah you do get explanation in ur own language which is a huge plus.

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

5:55 you mention the sun sets a lot later in the summer, around 10 pm. The reverse is also true - I’ve been there during the winter and the sun sets super early, before 5pm

[@Cxnxr]

things in Eu could seem cheaper than usual for tourists since the Euro has gone down in the past year or so. 100 USD was 83 euro just a year ago but 100USD being 95 Euro right now

[@MrPaulKok]

There are things you can do for free in Paris. Picnic is free and cheaper alternatives as well

[@nistb2123]

Most of central and eastern europe, 45 degre parallel you have light at 10pm i june and july.

[@ThePoorStudent]

The late sunset really messed me up too!

[@stefanstojance14]

It's getting dark so late not only bacause of summer but also becasue France isn't in the natural timezone. They are in the time zone GMT+2 becasue almost all countries in europe are in this time zone, but they naturally belong to the time zone GMT+1. This is also for Netherlands,Belgium and Spain.

[@yesviews]

I spent 40-50 dollars I think for 3 full (course) meal deliveries and cheescake factory, yes they have that in Malaysia. all in one day. I don't go to Western countries anymore

it surprises me that you coming from the US find Paris to be expensive city. I've spent a couple of days in Paris this spring and a couple of weeks in LA earlier this year and I can tell you Paris is not expensive

I visited France this year, I went to the restaurant they charged me $16 for a large Cooke 😮 and the taxi 🚖 driver attempted to cheat me by driving farther away from the address I gave to him. I had to ask him to stop . I ended up walking to my hotel. Other than that I had fun in Paris. 😅

[@aznflip23]

As someone living in Paris, I have a love/hate relationship with it. While it is a beautiful city, it's also very loud, crowded, full of tourists, and expensive. I do think that it is highly romanticized in media, as there are many cities in Europe that are as beautiful as Paris, yet do not get the same clout.

[@gordanbabic8028]

i feel your problems but there are not that many cities in europe with this much beauty and a historic city center that spans for several kilometers :)

[@bhh-lt5bh]

three reasons for Paris being expensive high demand, inflation and high income

[@geepalik]

0:15 euro is not the officially currency of Europe, as Europe is not a country. It's the currency of the countries that are members of the EU (European Union) and part of the Eurozone. Not all countries in Europe use it and not all countries in the EU use it. For example, Sweden, Poland, Czechia and Hungary are part of the EU, but not in the Eurozone. So they use their own currency instead. Love your content, come to Greece, I'd love to show you around!
