How much money will i need for a 4 day holiday in Paris on average?

Question

Going to Paris for 4 days with my boyfriend, how much cash will i need, any ideas?

Answer 1

I just got back from Paris with some friends. Last year I spent 3 days in Paris with my former girlfriend.

Okay Hotel : Perdix Rouge hotel: 68 euros a night (cheap and not too far from city center and clean, about 15 minutes.)

Metro: 10 tickets = 10.50 euros you will need 20 tickets.

Boat: 11.50 euros per ticket (you'll need two)

Walking: free

Lunch : sandwichs 3.00 euros plus 2.00 drink

Dinner resturant: 60euros for you both (You should eat in a resturant, France has the best food in the world.)

Louvre museum: 9.00 euros per ticket.

Effiel tower: 10.90 euros per ticket

Arc de Triompe : 5.00 euros per ticket (25 and under)

Post cards and stamps: postcards 0.85-1.50 and stamps to the USA 0.85 euros.

Get traveller checks and bring 50 euros in cash.

Go to the Effiel Tower at night 10:30 to 11:00 (only 15 minute wait saves 3 hours of waiting)

Buy Louvre tickets on line, enter from Metro, not the Glass pyramid (saves 1 hour of waiting)

Answer 2

The costs can vary very widely depending on your tastes and requirements.

Assuming a modest but still comfortable level of expenditures then you can expect to spend $120-150 a night for a double room. $50-100 per person per day for food and another $50-$75 per person per day for transportation, admission to museums and sights, and a modest level of night time entertainment.
