Visiting London and Paris can be combined into one vacation. Let me show you how! Plan your bucket list European vacation now!
Day one is about sightseeing. From Westminster Abbey, head across the Thames via Westminster Bridge to see views of Big Ben & Parliament. Also take in views on the London Eye.
London Itinerary
Trafalgar Square
When at Buckingham Palace, I recommend a stroll in Hyde Park. Then you can take lunch in Trafalgar Square and after, try spending the rest of your day in Covent Garden.
Tower of London
If you want to do something unique on day three, take a Tower of London & Crown Jewels tour. From the Tower, it's only a short walk over to Tower Bridge.
Set off to explore memorable neighborhoods like Notting Hill and Kensington. You can also stop at the Natural History Museum or hop on the Tube to Camden Town.
Whether you want to soak up more history, visit a castle, go into the countryside, or immerse yourself in some Harry Potter magic, there's a London day trip option for you.

Paris Itinerary
Start by seeing the iconic Arc de Triomphe. You can get a ticket to climb to the top and see the most incredible view of Paris and the Eiffel Tower.
I consider a cruise on the Seine in Paris to be something you don't want to skip. Paris, the city of light, is beautiful and the banks of the Seine are amazing.
Travel to the islands where Paris itself began. From there you can see Notre Dame. Then you can head along the Right Bank into Tuileries Gardens, which date back to the 17th century.
Ile de la Cite
More Things To Do
If you've time, I recommend a tour of the Louvre in Paris called Closing Time at the Louvre: Mona Lisa at Her Most Peaceful, or try a day trip to Versailles.
