Transport Options from Paris Airport to Eiffel Tower
It’s about a 40-60 minute Uber ride from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to the beautiful Eiffel Tower—depending on traffic of course. Our Airbnb was just a few minutes’ walk to the Eiffel Tower, so it was on the way. You have a few options to get from the airport to your accommodations. There are pros and cons to each. Save this for future travels!
🚊METRO
Pros:
•Affordable (around €10-€12).
•Avoids traffic delays.
•Frequent departures.
Cons:
•Requires a transfer (RER B train to Metro Line 6).
•May be challenging with large luggage.
•Not ideal if you’re unfamiliar with Parisian public transport.
🚍BUS
Pros:
•Direct route (Le Bus Direct Line 2).
•Offers luggage storage.
•Cost-effective (around €15-€20).
Cons:
•Slower (60-90 minutes).
•Fewer departure times than the metro.
•Service may not always be available, so check in advance.
🚙UBER
Pros:
•Convenient and door-to-door service.
•Easy to book via the app.
•Generally quicker than the bus.
Cons:
•More expensive (approximately €50-€70).
•May face traffic delays, especially during peak times.
✨This was the option we chose. It was a little more pricey, but very comfortable and convenient. We were dropped off right in front of our Airbnb.
🚕TAXI
Pros:
•Direct and reliable.
•Readily available at the airport.
•Set fares for trips between the airport and the city center.
Cons:
•Most expensive option (€70-€90)
•Traffic can significantly affect travel time.
✨I would NOT recommend this option. On our first trip to Paris, we took a taxi and were unfortunately taken advantage of. They initially quoted us €50, but by the end of the ride, they tacked on extra fees, and we ended up paying double!
