Frequently Asked Questions — Getting Around Paris

What is the difference between the Paris Métro and the RER?

The Métro runs underground within zones 1–2 in the city centre and is ideal for short hops between tourist sites. The RER is a faster regional network: RER B goes to Charles de Gaulle Airport, RER A serves Disneyland Paris, and RER C reaches Versailles — all from central Paris.

Does the Paris Métro run 24 hours?

No — the Métro runs from approximately 5:30am until 1:15am on weekdays and Saturdays, and until 2:15am on Sundays. Night buses (Noctilien) cover the city after hours.

How many zones does the Paris transit system have?

Paris has 5 zones. A standard Métro ticket covers zones 1–2 (all central Paris stations). The Navigo Découverte weekly pass covers all 5 zones — ideal if you plan to visit CDG airport, Versailles, or destinations outside the city.
