Misc European Trip Tips

**kysirsoze** · 03-13-2017, 01:32 PM

Hey CP,

So my wife and I are going on a (long delayed) honeymoon at the end of the month. 10 days in Europe split up like this:

2 nights in London
3 nights in Paris
2 nights in Amsterdam
3 nights in Paris

The double Paris visit is because we fly in and out of there and it's my wife's dream city to visit so it's pretty much the main event. We're taking a train right to London when we arrive because it is the lowest priority of the three and we will be adjusting to the time change and whatnot. Flights, hotels, and trains are already booked.

So... Who's been to these cities? Wife's been to London but I haven't. In fact this will be my first international trip unless you count an afternoon in Tijuana when I was 9. Any tips for first timers? Must see areas? Must visit restaurants or bars? General advice?

I can tell you we are already planning a day trip to Versailles and have booked tickets. Otherwise we're up for whatever. Museums, historic landmarks, scenic vistas, whatever.

TIA for all the honeymoon sex tips, too. You guys are the best.

Oh, I know Paris.

Versailles is really cool. Definitely do that. Musee D'Orsee is more interesting than the Louvre in my opinion, but I prefer impressionists over pictures of dead Jesus. The catacombs are cool, but your wife may not view them as honeymoon material.

Notre Dame is worth doing as well as that big white church Sacre Couer, though it's a bit out of the way.

You can go up inside the Arc De Triomphe, which is worth doing. Obviously the Eiffel Tower. I thought the river tour was a bit unnecessary, as I'd rather just walk around.

If I was ranking, I'd go:

1. Versailles
2. Eiffel Tower, just because.
3. Notre Dame
4. Musee D'Orsee
5. Louvre
6. Just walk around
7. Sacre Couer
8. Catacombs
9. Arc De Triomphe, just because. I'd probably rate it lower.
10. Napoleon's Tomb and the Military Museum, if you're into that stuff.

I'm probably missing some cool things.

I've always wanted to see the birthplace of Pepe Le pew.

Nice. Thanks! I actually think she'd be pretty interested in the catacombs. Also I think one of our hotels is pretty close to Sacre Couer.

Anne Frank and Heineken museum in Amsterdam.

**kysirsoze** · 03-13-2017, 01:46 PM

Anne Frank house is booked up. We might see about same day when we get there, though. Heard it can be tough to get in without reservations.

Alright. I ignored this dude for his very not sarcastic, shitty, hateful comments. I'm ignoring four people on this site. Two for spamming Royals threads and the other one for pure insanity. That tells you how low my bar for tolerance is. To be honest, I was more annoyed at how boring and unfunny his post was than anything else.

Aw man! Run the Jewels is performing at the Melkweg while we're there, but it's sold out. I imagine the secondary market will be prohibitive, but I'm definitely gonna check.

Thanks!
