  2. Keep an eye on the direction of the train, indicated by the terminus station name, to ensure you board the correct train.
  3. As with any big city, be aware of pickpockets and keep your belongings secure, especially during peak hours and in crowded stations.
  4. Use apps like RATP or Citymapper to help plan your journey, get real-time information, and receive notifications on any disruptions or delays.

  6. Metro stations often have multiple exits; take note of the exit number or street name to find your way to your destination more efficiently.
