France
If you are staying for several days buy a Carte Orange, zone 1 & 2, to use metro/buses etc rather than the Paris Visite tourist pass which is more expensive.
Tickets can be bought at most metro stations, you will need to ask for the wallet and card from the ticket desk, then attach a passport-sized photo and you have free travel from Monday to Sunday. As this is a weekly pass, aimed at Parisian commuters, be careful with the dates, it runs from Monday to Sunday.
Arguably one of the world's most famous opera houses. On its busiest night, I decided to gamble and walk in ten minutes after the start of the Saturday 7pm performance of (...I honestly can't remember, but it featured a nun who had renounced her vow of celibacy and was sung in German...).
I asked, using my basic French vocabulary for the cheapest ticket available. Three minutes later, I was in the 'Gods', in a packed Bastille, watching opera with Paris glitteraty ... for €5, yes FIVE EUROS. It was fantastic. I recommend anyone gambles!

This is effectively a museum pass which you can buy to cover 1, 3 or 5 days. It will get you into almost every Paris attraction you may want to see from the Louvre to Notre Dame, with the possible exclusion of the Eiffel Tower, it starts at 15euros for 1 day and gets progressively cheaper for longer periods The best bit isn't the museums it gets you into though, it's the fact that for places like the Louvre and the Orsay because you don't have to queue to get tickets you can skip large sections of the queuing process and just get straight to the interesting bits. It also encourages you to try the smaller museums you wouldn't have done before as you don't have to pay more to go in. They can be bought at any metro station or any museum or even at the eurostar terminal.
