For budget travelers a simple hostel bed or small private room in apartment usually costs around 35 dollars a night. Its basic but clean enough and you are mostly paying just for a place to sleep. Location is decent if you choose something close to metro and you meet lots of other travelers which is actually fun.

• On the luxury side you stay in a beautiful 4 or 5 star hotel right in the center with nice view from window. Expect to pay 250-320 dollars per night but you get proper breakfast spa access and that feeling of real comfort after long day walking.

Budget food in Paris is actually pretty great. Fresh baguettes and croissants from local bakeries, crepes on the street or simple picnic from supermarket can easily keep you full for under 20 dollars a day. Sometimes you find good cheap lunch deals too and you still eat really well this way.

• When you go luxury food becomes experience on its own. Nice french restaurants with proper service wine pairing and beautiful presentation. Dinner can easily cost 100-150 dollars per person but its something you remember for long time.

You mostly walk a lot and buy a day metro pass. Its the cheapest and actually best way to see the city. Sometimes you take bus if your legs get tired and you avoid crowds that way.

• Luxury means taxis whenever you want or even private transfer from airport. Many people also enjoy private boat on the Seine which is much more comfortable then regular tourist cruises.

There are lots of free things to do like walking around neighborhoods visiting free museums on certain days sitting in parks and just watching people. You can also join free walking tours and discover hidden spots without spending anything extra.

• For luxury you buy skip the line tickets for everything and take private guided tours with personal guide. Evening river cruise with champagne makes it feel really special and unforgettable.
