How look life in Paris ?
Paris, the city of lovers, we call it also the city of lights, it’s a huge amazing city, people there are always running to their works or universities, you feel like everyone is always busy (maybe because I went in January, so they don’t have holidays and time to enjoy). I must say that people are kind, friendly and helpful, I asked so many of them about places of some monument and they all helped me on showing me the right way.

Food and drinks :
Restaurants and coffee are expensive in Paris, especially in the city center and in the ( champ Elyse ), but I can advise to you to eat or drink coffee in MC Donald’s, because there the prices are more or less the same in the whole world,
You can also try some street food, near to Eifel tower or near to Louvre Museum, there are some peoples selling some sweets with chocolates calling them in France (les gouffres, les crêpes), we tried them once, and the taste is so delicious.
For Muslims, because Paris has so many Muslim people, they are so many restaurants having Halal meat and Halal meat, and also in Markets you find a place having so many kinds of Halal foods.

Transport :
To travel to Paris from Porto or a European country, it’s cheap, you must just travel during periods when people don’t, I had a ticket for 2 ways from Porto to Paris with 22 euros (I used the 15% of the ESN card also), but the problem is that I made a mistake, my ticket was for Beauvais airport Paris, and this one is so far from Paris city center, then I should take a bus for 17.5 Euros to go to Paris.
Paris city has really good transport connections; it has everything (taxis, metro, train, busses, Uber…), I must say that the metro is very good, I mean you will never be late if you use it. Because if you miss your metro, you need to wait just for 4 min to have another one in the same line (direction) and the ticket is for 1.9 euro, and you can use it for as much metro you want, you need just to not go out from the metro stations,

Accommodation :
Paris is so huge, it’s one of the biggest cities in the world, so it have so much Hotels and Hostels, and the majority of them are in booking websites and applications, for me, I went there with my girlfriend, we were in a hotel near to the metro stations and not far from the city center, the price was 40 euro per night for bought of us.

Places I visited :
Paris has so many monuments, landmarks and museums, but because I was there for just 2 days, I couldn’t visit all of them, in the paragraph below I will talk about places I visited and give you the names of many others that you must visit:

Eifel Tour :
Louvre Museum :
Arch of Triumph :
Cathedral de notre dame :
Champ Elysee :
