right on advice on some of the city transport passes available....don't get sucked into the 'tourist' versions, they are often not the best buy by a long shot!
4. Buy a travel pass. Some are a good value—the 24-hour Vienna transport card (www.vci.oeaw.ac.at/circ13.html) costs $6 while single tickets are $2. In Paris, however, avoid the special prices posted for tourists: One, the Paris Visite card, which allows travel in the city, costs between $9 and $27 for one day (depending on zones), but you can buy a carnet of 10 single tickets for just $11. For multiple days, a weekly Orange card, which the locals use, provides better value than a multiday Visite card, although the former has more restrictions (see www.ratp.com for prices).
