Does the Paris pass include the metro?

The Paris Pass® does not include Paris Metro tickets, these will need to be purchased separately. However, it does include a 1 Day Big Bus Hop-On Hop-Off Tour which you can enjoy at your leisure and takes you straight to the city's top attractions.



Whether a "Paris Pass" includes the metro depends on which specific version you purchase in 2026. The official "Paris Pass" (by Go City) generally does not include a public transport card as a standard feature anymore, focusing instead on museum entries and attractions. However, the "Paris Visite" pass is a dedicated transport-only pass that offers unlimited travel on the Metro, RER, and buses for 1, 2, 3, or 5 consecutive days. For most travelers in 2026, the best "metro inclusive" option is the Navigo Easy or Navigo Découverte card, which allows you to load weekly passes or "carnets" of tickets digitally. 2026 is a major transitional year for Paris transit as paper magnetic tickets have been officially phased out; everything is now contactless via card or smartphone. If you want a pass that covers "everything," you must explicitly look for a bundle that includes a "Zones 1-3" or "Zones 1-5" transport credit, or simply manage your transport separately through the RATP app.

Unlike other countries, the price of the service is included in the total cost of the bill. You will never be asked to tip, but it's common to leave one if the service was good.
