Most people don’t spend much time considering how to get from Charles de Gaulle (CDG) to Paris, or they might assume that taking a taxi is the only way to go.
But there are several transportation options available, and choosing the one that’s best for you and your travel companions is a relatively easy decision that can have wonderful returns.
So let’s look at 5 ways to get from CDG to Paris city center.

Known to Parisians as Marchés de Noël, there are so many Christmas markets in Paris to choose from. Depending on what you want to experience, you can pick and choose the ones that are right for you.
Pompeii is a city frozen — or rather, seared — in time. And if you are a history enthusiast, or just want a glimpse into what real life was like for the average Roman 2,000 years ago, it’s very much worth it to plan a visit.

It’s common for first-time (or even returning) visitors to Paris to pick a hotel based on name recognition or proximity to a particular famous landmark. And of course, in a city of more than 2 million an ocean away, it can be hard to know the best arrondissements to stay in Paris.
I am a big proponent of not making accommodations an afterthought, because where you stay can have a huge impact on the quality of your trip.
While Rome may be a big, loud, and busy city — with animated conversations, bustling cafes, scooters zipping by — it is also a city best savored at a slower pace.
A traveler who walks in Rome is someone who forges a kind of intimacy with this extraordinary place that has so much to offer the senses.
Here’s a sampling of my favorite walks in Rome.
London makes a fabulous European trip for families, especially for first-timers, and exploring London with kids has several advantages.
The surroundings are different enough to be interesting, but familiar enough to keep kids at ease in a new place. The city is easy to navigate and still holds that kind of storybook magic that appeals to kids’ (and grown-ups’!) sense of wonder. And best of all, there are plenty of things to do and see that appeal to travelers of every age.
A day trip from Paris to Champagne is a fascinating and relaxing way to spend a day — a breath of fresh air in picturesque villages surrounded by sweeping green hillsides.
