Conselhos sobre a cidade
Deslocar-se
Walking is easy
Metro in Paris can be daunting experience! The good news is you can walk to most of the major sightseeing sites from my place ;)
Deslocar-se
Watch out for bikes 🚴 and 🛴 scooters
They usually have their own interpretation of signs and lights ;) always be careful when you cross the streets in Paris.
Deslocar-se
Biking is fun for experienced bikers
Velib is a very convenient way to get around - it’s the city’s public shared biking service and it’s super affordable! Remember to always check your bike before taking it (wheels, brakes, pedals)
Deslocar-se
Watch out for your stuff while commuting
There are pickpockets everywhere and they know how to spot tourists! Keep your personal belongings close to you.
Costumes e cultura
Don’t sign petitions and don’t gamble with strangers
People will ask you to sign petitions or play cards games on the street with them but it’s a scam - they’re just trying to rip you off.

Restaurants
Like many busy cities, I recommend booking your restaurants in advance.
