If you’re arriving in Paris by train at the Gare du Nord Station, you have several transport options to choose from to reach your accommodation: taxi, private transfer, train, metro, or bus.
The most convenient option is to pre-book a private transfer and enjoy a professional door-to-door service and peace of mind. Alternatively, you can take a metered taxi from the rank in front of the train station; in both cases, you should reach your destination in about 20 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.
If you’re traveling on a budget, you can use public transportation; the ticket cost is the same for all means of transport. You can choose between the train and the metro, which will take between 8 and 15 minutes, including walking time between each platform.
Finally, you can use the bus (Line 39), which provides a direct connection from Gare du Nord to Palais Royal – Comédie Française downtown; the travel time by bus is 30 minutes, making it the slowest option.
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Paris at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
