Assuming you’re starting in Great Britain, you already know about the wonderful, often free museums and the exciting London theatre, so it’s off to Paris. It’s easily possible to travel by Eurostar from London to Paris in just under 3 hours.
Paris is known as the “City of Lights”. A leisurely cruise down the Seine River or a view from the second or third level of the Eiffel Tower in the evening will illustrate how the city received this nickname. Not only are monuments and famous landmarks illuminated at night, entire squares are illuminated. Night tours are quite popular. Of course, no trip to Paris would be complete without a visit to at least one of the many art museums in the city.
Travel from Paris to Amsterdam is very convenient on the Thalys, Euro Railways premier train. It will take just over four hours to travel between the two cities. While this takes longer than flying, it gives you a chance to see the countryside. Both first and second class seating is offered. With First Class seating the seats are usually large, with reclining backs and more space for the legs.
Amsterdam is quickly becoming one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. If you are interested in visiting Dutch museums, Amsterdam has conveniently located their most important museums in Museum Square. On a completely different note, one of the most popular attractions in Amsterdam is the city’s Red Light District, called De Wallen, where prostitution is legal.
From the City of Romance to the City of legalized prostitution, Paris and Amsterdam certainly are the cities for lovers. Whether your taste run to fine art, theatre, or love, there is a world renowned European city just waiting for your visit.
