Paris, the City of Lights and the City of Love. With so much to see in this historical and amazing city, avoid these pitfalls.
#1: Do NOT use unvetted "taxi" services at the airport. They are a scam and will charge you double.
DO pre-schedule your transport-hotel shuttle, real taxi or the train
#2: Do NOT exchange your currency at the airport-horrible exchange rates.
DO exchange some currency beforehand (in your home country) or use a local exchange place near your hotel/accommodations.
#3: Do NOT feel forced to use cash at a restaurant.
DO ask in advance if they take credit cards and look for the stickers on the door or
front window of store.
#4: Do NOT assume everyone knows English or your home language.
DO learn keywords and phrases in French.
#5: Do NOT be afraid to use the public transportation system-bus, Metro, RER(train). It is safe.
DO download Paris transportation apps, such as; Bonjour RATP, Metro Paris and trainline.
