Accommodation. Of course, we didn’t include accommodation, food, etc. in the budget; we were talking only about tickets. You can save on accommodation by using couchsurfing.

The advantages of a united Europe must be taken advantage of. Not only permanent residents of Germany, but also guests there can take a tour to Paris from German cities in Russian.
It is difficult to lure people to Paris, since the list of attractions is indecently large. And each of them is a legend. Let's start with museums - the Louvre, Versailles, Les Invalides, the Army Museum. And there is no point in reminding that the Mona Lisa is exhibited in the Louvre, and in the Invalides I found my last refuge Napoleon Bonaparte.
In Paris, the tour is usually carried out for 3 days. But there are also 4-day options. For those who do not want to wait until their vacation or want to visit Paris with their visiting friends from the vast expanses of the USSR that has sunk into oblivion, weekend tours are provided.
Excursions in Paris include
The variety of tours offered is based on a variety of tourist routes around the French capital. Here are the most famous excursions to Paris:
- the unfading center of Paris - Champs Elysees, Arc de Triomphe and more;
- evening city - Grands Boulevards, Tuileries Garden and Place Vendôme;
- you can get acquainted with the banks of the Seine both from board a river “tram” and by traveling by bus from bank to bank - very convenient for visiting Notre Dame Cathedral and Place de Greve, Cite Islands and the Latin Quarter;
- With Eiffel Tower a beautiful panorama opens up, and best view Russian guides will take you there from the Chaillot Palace (by the way, many people visit the Montparnasse Tower - this allows you to look at the city from a height of 212 meters);
- Montmarte – Moulin Rouge and Palais Royal, Place de la Bastille and Place de la République.
A bus from Germany to Paris will take not only adults, but also children. They will thank you for visiting nearby Disneyland.
There are cities where people walk slowly. In Paris this happens not only due to tradition, but also due to an abundance of impressions. The spirit of the legend, emanating from the pavements to the attics invented in this city, invites you to return to see something else. For such cases, discounts are provided.
Excursion in Paris costs from 59 Euro depending on the city of departure.

Dear clients, we provide assistance in obtaining multiple Schengen visas through the Consulate General of Finland for tourists with permanent residence in the North-West region (except Karelia, Murmansk region, Kaliningrad region).
According to the Schengen rules, Schengen visas should first be obtained from the embassies or consulates of the countries of primary residence. If the main country of residence is another Schengen country, the Finnish Embassy or Consulate cannot issue a visa, even if the trip is in transit through Finland. For example, if you plan to travel by car through Finland to Sweden on vacation, then a visa should be obtained from the Swedish Embassy or Consulate.
Cost of obtaining a Finnish multi visa:
- 80 euros visa without insurance
- 80 euros (semi-annual, annual) + 550 rubles. insurance (for 30 days)
The Consulate General of Finland allows you to request annual multi-visas only if the tourist has already had a Finnish multi-visa within the last 3 years.
Please note that if you are over 70 years of age, the cost of insurance is higher than the standard one.
Increased coefficient for age insurance:
For other ages (including children from 7 to 18 years old), the cost of insurance is standard, i.e. 550 rub.
Accordingly, in order to calculate the cost of a visa with insurance for tourists whose age falls under the criteria of this table, you need to multiply the cost of standard insurance by the corresponding increasing factor and add the cost of the visa to the resulting number.

Request for cancellation of a valid Schengen visa download
Please note that the Consulate General of Finland does not accept foreign passports with entry/exit stamps covered with visas and stamps from other countries! The laminate of the passport should not depart from the paper base. In addition, a foreign passport may only contain stamps indicating border crossing, issued by customs or border services. If there are any other stamps in the passport, for example, souvenir stamps, the passport is considered invalid by the Finnish consulate.
Since October 18, 2013, a new rule has been in force for calculating the number of days of stay in the territory of the Schengen countries.
Within 180 days, you can stay no more than 90 days in the territory of the Schengen countries: for each day of stay, the previous 180 days should be taken into account. Days on both the current visa and the previous one are taken into account.
The rule of calculating six months from the moment of first entry is no longer valid.
Thus, at the time of crossing the border, the number of days already spent in Schengen territory should not exceed 90 in the last 180 days. For example, a face passes border control 09.13.2013. From this date we count the previous 180 days, resulting in the period from 03/18/2013 to 09/13/2013. During this period, the number of days of stay in Schengen territory should not exceed 90 days. The number of days spent in Schengen territory should not exceed 90 days in the last 180 days, both at the time of entry into and departure from the Schengen countries.
Below is a table to help you count the days used. This table is not an official calculation tool, but only an aid to explain the new Schengen rule.
Day counting calculator (download)
A visa issued by one of the Schengen countries gives the right to visit or short-term stay throughout the Schengen territory. With a visa, you can stay in the Schengen territory for no more than 90 days within six months. For more long stay a residence permit is required.
To obtain passports you must provide
power of attorney to receive documents or check for payment. The power of attorney must be printed on the organization's letterhead with the signature of the head and seal. The power of attorney must indicate the authorized person and the list of documents that need to be received." from Moscow
