Paris is consistently ranked among the top cities in the world for tourist visits, and often places in the top three results in lists from media and publications such as CNN, TripAdvisor, and Condé Nast Traveler. Known as the The City of Light, it captivates and transfixes tourists with its magical mix of museums, art exhibits, the Eiffel Tower, incredible dining, historical heritage, and a romantic feeling that is seemingly everywhere. It is truly an incredible experience to travel and experience all that Paris has to offer.

If you are planning a trip to Paris, it is serviced by three primary airports. France’s flagship airport is Charles de Gaulle (CDG), which is located northeast of the city. Another choice is Orly Airport (ORY), which is closer to central Paris. While most international traffic has moved to Charles de Gaulle, Orly is still one of the busiest domestic airports in France. Beauvais Airport (BVA) is a regional airport that is 55 miles (90km) from Paris, and primarily serves budget airlines.

Traveling to and from the Paris Airports

Access to and from Paris' airports is available by Public Transit, including Rail and Bus/Coach. The regional rail system links the suburbs to the Paris Metro. Travelers should expect to carry their bags through extensive Metro tunnels, so if you have more than a small volume of luggage, you’d be better served by other Paris airport transfer options.

Bus service is offered by the Paris Airport Bus and the Airport Shuttle. If you are considering the Airport Bus, please be aware that if your final destination is not near the bus stop then you will incur considerable charges for additional taxi or bus services. The Airport Shuttle does bring you to your drop off location, but it only serves points inside the city limits and the wait is considerably longer for pickup and drop off of all the different passengers.

Taxis are typically available at the airport, but finding a taxi to the airport can be more daunting. On rainy days in the summer, it may be nearly impossible to find a taxi in the city. Please note, also, that Paris taxis begin the meter charge from the moment they leave to pick you up.
