Last updated: July 2026

€269≈ for 3 days · per person · excludes accommodation

A 3-day trip to Paris costs around €269 per person, excluding accommodation (as of July 2026). The metro is cheap (€2.55 a ride), you can eat well for €30–40 a day, and a surprising amount is free — Notre-Dame, Sacré-Cœur and several major museums cost nothing. The big tickets are the Louvre (€32 for non-EU passports) and the Eiffel Tower. Here's exactly where the money goes.
