People often ask about the best way to see Paris, and I always say: 'use your feet, and just keep walking.' Paris is in a way quite a compact city and an ideal way to get around to many of the famous sights is simply on your own steam. If it is your first time to visit, I would recommend that for an overall view of what's what, and where everything can be found, taking a city bus tour is the perfect means to familarise yourself with Paris.
But as I say, walking is best. Around every street corner you can find something new, different and surprising, and when you walk you get to see things close up. Or something you would otherwise have missed if you had taken the metro or the bus instead. Say you are at point 'A' and want to go to point 'B', don't just make for the nearest metro station. Take a look at your guide and map. Judge the distance from where you are to where you want to go. Is it within reasonable walking distance? Have you got the time to stroll there leisurely? More often than not you will find that it is easy to traverse from one point of interest to another without any difficulty. If you do, chances are that as you pass through the Paris streets you will be delighted that you decided on the healthy and more pleasant alternative to get to your destination.
Let me add at this juncture that at present we have some amazing Montmartre hotels special offers. If your Paris walkabout should take you into this popular district, you will at least know how to find a good hotel. If you don't already know, Montmartre is the area synonymous with the many artists, writers and poets that once made it their home - and also, of course, the renowned Sacre-Coeur.
