    Metro! I never got lost on the Metro...can't say the same for the London Underground.

    Walking is another good way to get around. And, it's a good way to really see the city.

    On my last night in Europe, I was without a hotel/hostel. Instead of running around trying to find a place to stay...I stayed at Orly airport in Paris...that's where I was flying out of the next day. The airport was pretty much deserted at night...except for some armed guards and some people arguing downstairs, but it was worth it. The price was right, and I didn't have to worry about missing my plane. http://www.adp.fr/
