Tips for spending decisions: How to travel cheaply to the Olympic Games!

The anticipation for the Olympic Games in Paris is noticeable, especially with regard to the expected 15 million tourists who will visit the city during the games. The event that begins in the next few days not only attracts sports enthusiasts, but also has a significant impact on the local economy. For short -term plans to Paris, it is worth looking at some important aspects.

Ticket availability and purchase

Despite the high demand, there are still ticket options for numerous competitions. Organizers have confirmed that more than 20 sports have tickets on offer. A total of 8.8 million tickets have already been sold, while a six -digit number of tickets is still available. The prices vary between 24 and 980 euros, which makes it possible to find something for every wallet.
Consumer advocates expressly recommend that you only buy tickets via official sales outlets. "There is a risk of becoming victims of fraudsters if you buy from third parties," warns Karolina Wojtal, press spokeswoman for the European Consumer Center Germany. Occasional releases of new quotas on official websites should be checked regularly.

Arrival to Paris

The choice of means of transport to the Olympic Games can be crucial. The European Consumer Center advises against a journey by car, since a French environmental badge is required and additional costs for toll and parking spaces in the city are incurred. Instead, the journey is recommended by train because there are direct connections from Germany to Paris. Flights are also still available at reasonable prices, whereby the travel planning should take place in good time in view of the high number of visitors.

Accommodation in Paris

Anyone looking for accommodation will find that the market conditions have increased over the past few weeks. Despite the initial price increase, platforms such as Booking.com and Airbnb still offer opportunities for overnight stays in various price categories. Consumer advocates propose to book directly via the websites of hotels or familiar booking platforms to avoid fraud. "Always check the imprint to ensure that you are on the official side," warns Wojtal.

Important information for visitors on site

As soon as everything is planned and booked, there are some security measures to be observed in advance of the Olympic Games. Numerous areas in and around Paris will be cordoned off during the games. To get into these zones, guests need a QR code that is only accessible to certain people. Visitors to local public transport should also find out about possible restrictions and non -served stations. The Transport Public Paris 2023 app provides access to current information about public transport and helps to avoid long ways.

The Olympic Games in Paris are more than just a sporting event; They also offer exciting opportunities for the city and its residents. With appropriate preparation, short -term travelers can also benefit from this unique experience.
