Seeing several places in one day in Paris means switching between metro, RER, buses and trams all day long. Zeppelin Map takes every stop of your day and turns it into one itinerary: it puts the places in the best order and works out the route on public transport, using live data from Île-de-France Mobilités. This is the heart of the app. You add the places you want to see, in any order, and the Bibomap engine reorders them to keep your travel time low. If you'd rather walk, you can do the whole day on foot and see how many kilometres it adds up to. On the way, it tells you what you'd normally have to work out yourself: which car to board so you step off right by the stairs for your connection or exit, which station entrance to use, when the next metro, bus or tram is due, and which platform your train leaves from, as soon as it's announced. The places we suggest are picked by hand, with real photos: museums, restaurants, cafés and hotels. A few good spots instead of an endless list of dots on a map. Add one to your day with a tap. KEY FEATURES • Multi-stop planning: add several places and get the best order and route on public transport • Next departures in real time for metro, bus and tram, with arriving and at-platform status • RER and Transilien: the trains that actually stop at your destination, and the platform as soon as it's announced • Which car to board for your connection or exit, and which station entrance to use • Disruption alerts on the lines of your route • Suggested visit times for each place, with the option to fix a stop at a specific time • Plan trips ahead and reuse the ones you take often • The whole day on foot, with the distance • On the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with your arrival time • Exit guidance as soon as you reach the station • Public toilets, drinking fountains and defibrillators on the map • Trip stats: kilometres walked, calories and CO₂ saved • New Liquid Glass design on iOS 26 and later • Available in 20 languages PRIVACY No account, no sign-up. Your addresses stay on your device and we don't sell your data to anyone. Anonymous statistics are off by default: you turn them on only if you want to. Zeppelin Map is made for people visiting Paris who want to enjoy the city instead of spending the day working out connections. You choose where to go; we take care of the rest.
