Riding the Hop-On, Open-Air Buses

Open Air Bus Tours

The open air buses travel in a loop to take in all the iconic sights of Paris. As the name implies, you can hop off at any of the stops, then explore the area before hopping back on again. No questions asked, no transfers needed.

The way we like to use the bus pass is to hop off at each of the stops spend some time walking around and digging deeper in the quartier before making our way back to the bus stop and hopping back on. The next bus rolls around often, so there's not much waiting.

What you'll learn is that Paris is a compact city. An open-air bus tour gives you practically an aerial view and you can see how the city is connected by their river, the museums, and the landmarks.

Hop-On Bus

To see the city from the second story, get a two-day pass for Tootbus (listen, we don't name these things). A three-day pass is available, but we think two days is a good length of time. You can hop on and off the bus as many times as you like. "Go at your own pace" is the theme of Tootbus and that's really what these open-topped buses are all about.

The buses leave from the Eiffel Tower and its itinerary is very similar to the Big Bus Paris one. 

The timetable varies depending on the time of year. We recommend checking the times on their webpage . 

The ticket price is 42 EUR for adults ( € 49 ( US$ 53.60) for 2 days) . For children between 4 and 12 ticket price, is 23 EUR ( € 28 ( US$ 30.60) for 2 days) , and children under 4 years old take the tour for free.

Which tour bus to choose?

All of the above companies offer very similar services , although we recommend Paris OpenTour , as it has more routes and more stops, and therefore offers a more complete tour.

Where to Hop-On, Hop-Off on the Paris Bus Tour:

Eiffel Tower

Known locally as La Dame de Fer (the iron lady), the Eiffel Tower is one of the most recognized landmarks in the world – and some might argue it’s the most popular attraction in Paris. Built originally as a temporary structure for the World’s Fair in 1900, it still stands over 100 years later! Take a step back to admire the 301.8m of iron, comprising of 18,000 individual pieces – you can forgo the hard hat but make sure you have your camera at the ready! Note: entry to the Eiffel Tower is not included in The Paris Pass

Champs de Mars

Spanning an impressive 60 acres this stunning landscaped garden was first created in the 17th century to grow grapes and vegetables. Later, it became the training ground for the École Militaire (or military school) where a young Napoleon attended. Now it is the site of the Eiffel Tower and a hot spot for a picnic on a sunny day, and if you’re in Paris for the 14th July, you can catch the impressive Bastille Day festivities on the grounds too, a must-see if you like fireworks!

Louvre Museum

Home to the famous Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo - among many, many others - the Louvre is a must-visit in Paris for its huge breadth of art. Originally built as a palace, it’s now the most visited art gallery in the world with a staggering 9.7 million visitors a year! Buy your Louvre Tickets from the Paris Museum Pass for less!

Notre Dame Cathedral was constructed on the Île de la Cité as it was the power center of the city back in 1160. Now, it remains one of the most central hubs of Paris and is an iconic landmark where visitors can explore the huge nave and buttresses, as well as climb the towers for stunning views along the Seine.

Orsay Museum

Originally a train station, the Orsay Museum is an architectural feat and its old structure is still very much visible to this day. With the original station clock, the art gallery displays an array of masterpieces from the years 1848 to 1915, including the likes of Cézanne, Monet, Renoir and Van Gogh.

Paris Opera House

One of the most elaborate buildings in Paris, this stunning late 19th-century building is also known as Palais Garnier or Garnier Opera House. As the most important ballet and opera house in Paris, it is adorned with mirrors, mosaics and chandeliers – not to mention the impressive Grand Staircase. Well worth a visit, you’ll feel like royalty within its walls.

Champs Elysées Étoile

The Champs Elysées is one of the most famous shopping streets in Paris, much on Par with Fifth Avenue in New York, and Regent Street in London. Stretching 1.8miles, this long avenue is an iconic promenade in Paris, lined with high street shops and some of the most expensive real estate in the world. The bus route whips around the Arc de Triomphe as well, so you will get a chance to visit the deck with the Paris Museum Pass.

Grand Palais

This historic building in Paris was built to glorify the arts in Paris, especially the Beaux-Arts movement from which its architecture was inspired. With its stone facades, glass vaults and steel frames it’s an impressive landmark and right on the banks on the Seine it’s got one of the best views in Paris!

Trocadéro

The Gardens of Trocadéro span nearly 94,000m² and with fountains and statues lining its paths, it leads up to the Eiffel Tower on the north side of the Seine, and the Champs de Mars to the south. Within the gardens is also an aquarium, the National Theatre and Chaillot Palace.

And don't forget to make time for a Montparnasse Tower tour while in Paris. It has sweeping views that are not to be missed!
