Uncorking a bottle of French wine on a sunny day, spreading Brie on a baguette, gazing out on the Paris skyline in front of the Sacré-Coeur in Montmartre—to me, that’s the perfect day. Paris is one of my favorite cities in the world thanks to its cobblestone streets lit up at night under the glow of street lights, historic architecture, incredible music, savory delicious food, and smartly-dressed locals. Paris is a city I just melt into.

　　打开一瓶法国啤酒，阳光慵懒的日子，涂抹芝士的法棍，在蒙马特高地的圣心堂俯瞰巴黎——这就是我完美的一天。那些在夜晚的街灯照耀下熠熠发光的石头街道、散发历史气息的建筑、美妙的音乐、绝赞的食物以及打扮养眼的当地人，这样的巴黎无疑是我最爱的城市之一。这是一个我想要融入的地方。

　　But Paris is also a city that melts the wallet. With the city’s plentiful restaurants, bars, and attractions, your money can disappear quickly if you aren’t smart. Luckily it doesn’t have to be that way, and there are plenty of ways to experience Paris without experiencing sadness over a suddenly empty bank account. Below are 22 ways to save big money on your next visit to the City of Light:

　　但这里也意味着高消费。随处可见的餐馆、酒吧和名胜古迹，稍不留神就会财政赤字。好在这里也不需要你挥金如土，有很多游玩巴黎的妙招能让你不用花光积蓄。我们来一起看看在巴黎旅行22个省钱的招数吧：

　　1. Visit the Louvre for free – Admission to the famous Louvre Museum is free the first Sunday of each month from October to March. Moreover, to avoid the massive ticket lines, enter via the Carrousel du Louvre entrance and you’ll get right to the ticket counter. You can also skip the lines if you have a Paris Museum Pass.

　　1.免费游玩卢浮宫：每年10月到次年三月的每月第一个周日，卢浮宫都是可以免费入场的。如果想避开大量排队的人群，不妨去卢浮宫卡鲁塞勒那边的入口，可以直达票务中心。如果你有巴黎博物馆通票，那就更加可以避开排队啦。

　　2. Save at the Musée d’Orsay – Tickets to the museum are only €8.50 after 4:30pm (except on Thursdays, when they’re reduced to €8.50 from 6pm until 9:45pm). Entry is also free the first Sunday of the month. Regular ticket prices are €11.2.

　　2.在奥赛博物馆省钱：下午四点半之后的票价只要8.5欧(除去周四，要下午六点到晚上九点四十五才会是这个票价)。每月的第一个周日入场免费。正常票价是11.2欧。

　　3. Buy a Paris Museum Pass – I’m a huge fan of tourist cards, and Paris is one of the best places to get one. There are so many museums and attractions worth seeing that ticket prices can really add up quickly. The Paris Museum Pass will help. It offers free and discounted admission to 60 museums and monuments around the city, and it lets you skip the ticket lines! Prices: €42 (two days); €56 (four days); €69 (six days). It pays for itself after a few attractions.

　　3.买一个巴黎博物馆通票：我是各种旅行卡的粉丝，巴黎绝对值得你去买一张通票。那么多的博物馆和景点绝对能让你迅速值回票价，也能帮上大忙。全市六十多个博物馆和纪念地门票都能打折，也可以让你不用排队哦!价格：42欧(两日票)，56欧(四日票)，69欧(六日票)。在玩过几个景点之后就已经赚回票价了哦。

　　4. First Sunday of the month? Free museums! - If you happen to find yourself in Paris on the first Sunday of the month, most of the city’s major museums offer free admission. The downside is that they will all be super crowded as this is no secret!

　　4.每个月的第一个周日?博物馆免费!如果你碰巧在该月的第一个周日现身巴黎，那么大部分的博物馆都是免费入场的哦。唯一的缺点是毫无疑问会挤到爆啊!

　　5. Take public transport from Charles de Gaulle – Save money right when you land by taking public transportation into the city. You have two options:

　　5.从戴高乐机场乘坐公共交通：落地的时候还是坐公共交通进市区来省点钱吧。你有两个选择：

　　Take the RER B (regional train) – This option costs €9.50 and takes 25–50 minutes (depending on your destination and whether you get an express train). Once you get into the city, you can transfer to the metro to reach your final destination.

　　乘坐B线(市区线路)：这个需要9.5欧，大概25-50分钟抵达(取决于你的目的地以及你乘坐的是否是快车)。一旦进了市区，你可以根据最终目的地换乘地铁。

　　Take a bus – The “RoissyBus” costs €10 per person and takes 45–60 minutes.

　　乘坐公交车：“RoissyBus"大巴一人大概十欧，一般需要45-60分钟左右。

　　I prefer the RER, but depending on where you’re going, the bus might be more direct as you may not have to transfer to a local metro.

　　我更推荐B线，但是还是得看你要去哪，也许公交可以直达免去你转地铁的烦恼哦。

　　6. Skip taxis – The subway system in Paris is very extensive and can take you anywhere you need to go. Don’t waste money on overpriced taxis.

　　6.少坐出租车：巴黎的地铁系统非常周全，可以带你去任何地方。所以别浪费钱打车啦。
