I will shortly be share tips on what to pack for Paris in winter. Below are tips on things to do in Paris at night as well as day time in Paris. If you prefer a private touch in Paris you can also opt for your own guide.

Day 1 In Paris – Effiel Tower, Louvre, Trocadero, Palais Royal & Gardens

Of course, the first place anyone wishes to visit on his or her visit to Paris is the Eiffel Tower. The 324-meter high iron tower has two levels and then the top summit.

You can get advance tickets for the Eiffel Tour Summit. The first level is the most popular one at a height of 58 meters. There are restaurants here, and tourists can go to 58 Tour Eiffel and even dine at the fancy restaurants like Le Jules Verne.

Reserving a table in advance will be helpful. There is an elevator taking a tour to the top level too.

The best time to visit the tower is morning if you wish to have an aerial view over the city all around. The evening is the time you can opt for if you are just aiming to visit the gorgeous all-lit tower.

Near the Eiffel Tower is Trocadero which offers amazing views of the city and the Eiffel Tower. A pro tip if you want pictures without crowds in them is to head there at sunrise!

I shared some of my pictures of the best sunrise spots in Paris on the blog.

Next place that you can and must-visit is the Louvre museum. One of the must-visit is this massively impressive museum, which houses around all the top artists of the Renaissance and other such times.

From the most famous Mona Lisa to the Venus de Milo, to the Raft of the Medusa, to sculpture and internationally acclaimed paintings, the museum has it all. Queues can be extremely long so make sure you have a skip the line ticket for the Louvre.

From the Lourve you are only a short walk to the Palais Royal, there is a beautiful courtyard that is popular photography spot with the black and white columns.

There is also a beautiful garden nearby. Tuileries Garden(Jardin de Tuileries) where you can find cafes, cool statues benches to sit down and watch Parisians walk by. From the garden you can either walk along the riverside and see Paris’s many beautiful bridges or you can walk towards Place de la Concorde.

Day 1 Evening in Paris

Day 2 In Paris – Notre Dame, Musee d’Orsay, Champs Elysees & Arc De Triomphe

The French takes their breakfast seriously and so do not hesitate at trying their pancakes or crepes, omelette du Fromage and coffee takes you through the day ahead.

Head off to the Notre Dame, The thirteenth-century French Gothic architecture is the highlight of this Catholic cathedral.

The spires and gargoyles are straight out of any fairy tale and worth your visit. With the recent fire of Notre Dame the site is currently under re-construction but still worth checking out the iconic catherdal.

From the cathedral, you can either walk along the River Seine to Muse d’Orsay or use the metro in Paris. There is a beautiful clock at the top which offers a cool spot for pictures.

From here you also have the option to check out Invalides which is only a short walk or you can continue along the river and cross to the other side of the River via the beautiful Pont Alexandre III bridge which connects Champs Elysees quarter and the Invalides and Effiel Tour.

For tips on where to stay in Amsterdam, I have a detailed post on how to choose the best area to stay in Amsterdam. Where you are visiting and want to stay near tourist sights or want to be near markets, galleries or nightlife in Amsterdam.

Alternative Itineraries For London Paris & Amsterdam

If you don’t have 10 days you can also opt to do London, Paris Amsterdam in one week or also do a London and Paris itinerary in 6 days.

You can do 2 days in each city and then one day would be eaten up by travel and chill time between travel from one city to the other. So you can condense your trip into a week for sure.

Another alternative

You can also opt to do London Amsterdam then Paris or even starting your by way of a Paris, London and Amsterdam. Where you start will very much depending on where you land first and where you happen to get the best travel deal tickets.

EuroStar now runs new options to travel from Amsterdam to London and the other way round. As I mentioned above, if you only have one week, you can also opt to do tours to Amsterdam from London and some of these can also be a day trip to Amsterdam from London.

Again you have to book these early. The cheapest way to go from London to Amsterdam is usually by plane by I have found that if you land in London and then take the train to Paris and then on to Amsterdam is a much more enjoyable trip with less crazy airport security also less worry about baggage limits

There you have it, the perfect way to maximise your exploring time on a London, Paris and Amsterdam itinerary.

There are plenty of tours on Viator as well as Get Your Guide to not only help you get your bearings around the city but also make the most of your time.

Spring in Europe? Here’s the Ultimate List of Items to Travel Europe in Style - The perfect packing list for Europe in spring #packing #carryon #2weeksineurope #traveltips #packingtips #spring #summer #outfits

If you are planning a trip to Europe then this packing list for Europe in spring is up your alley. Usually, the holiday destinations are tropical or warmer climates. Holidaying is Europe is completely different because Europe is diverse, both in its climate and fashion. From the sunny beaches of Ibiza in Spain to the cold weather of Edinburgh, Scotland, travel across Europe requires carefully planned itinerary and packing. For additional tips also make sure to check out my post on outfit inspiration when it comes to putting together the perfect outfits when exploring Europe.

What To Pack For Europe In Spring & Travel Planning Tips

The Happy Wanderer

Now that you have finally booked your tickets for that Europe tour that you have been planning for years, and decided on the sights you are going to visit, and taken care of things like making Airbnb bookings, you must be eager to set off on your journey. But there’s just one thing more to do before you take off on your dream Europe trip; you need to pack!

Packing… Urgh!

Well, if it’s any consolation, packing is one of the most hated chores worldwide. Unless you are Marie Kondo, no one likes the idea of folding clothes and placing them properly in the luggage. Be sure to also use the best luggage for Europe when traveling the continent.

Luggage: Put Wheels on It!

Before you embark upon this dream vacation to Europe, you need to select the kind of luggage you will bring along. You can either go for a backpack or a suitcase. Backpack can strain your back and shoulders and take all the fun out of exploring as you are left tired and cranky. Opt for a suitcase which is easier to organize, especially a soft-shell one that can accommodate more stuff and is crack-proof (we all know how freight is handles at the airports)!

Whirling around Europe in Style

Add a style buzz to your Europe trip by choosing the right kind of clothing. We all start packing with the intentions of packing light and as we go along, things spiral out of control and we end up with huge, bulky luggage.

To ensure your trip is not burdened by a heavy suitcase, mix and match your outfits and take along style items that you can create multiple looks with! For day trips and exploring around the city, you will also need a small bag to fit in all your accessories.

A Chic Adventure

For tops, take along a mix of tees, blouses, and shirts. A long-sleeved shirt can be used in multiple ways; sleeves rolled up for warmers days and rolled down for colder nights. European weather is always changing; you will step into an old castle as the sun smiles down upon you and step out into a blitz of rain as the tour comes to an end an hour later.

So, never forget to take along a nice, easy-to-carry jacket or a windbreaker. Never forget to pack an elegant and dressy outfit, because you never know where the road might lead you!

A Top-Down Approach

A dark pair of jeans is a must have! From casual, travel hippie look to being paired up with a chiffon blouse for a stylishly refined look, dark jeans is your best friend on a European tour. Capris and skirts also bring versatility to your travel wardrobe while leggings are a handy accessory for colder nights.

Add Swagger to your Walk

First things first; never ever bring along new shoes for a tour. Trip across Europe means diversity of terrain and extended time spent on foot. You need your most comfortable pair of shoes. Go for a comfy pair of sneakers or walking shoes and a pair of sandals for warmer days.

You might want to throw in a pair of flip flops for those sandy beaches, or just to recline in your poolside chair and relax!

Amp it Up!

Accessories can make or break an ensemble. You can spice up your look, or even create a completely new one with the same outfit, by choosing the right kind of accessories. Pack lightweight and stylish necklaces, rings, and earrings that are travel friendly.

A vivid, patterned scarf can strike all the right chords of style, while sunglasses are practical, yet stylish fashion accessory. You will also need your undergarments, including at least one complete set of active wear and a swimsuit. A handy makeup kit is essential to capture those insta-worthy vacation pics.

Watch it Closely!

While a smartphone is your one-stop-shop for essentially everything, a smart watch like Apple or Samsung Gear can make your traveling experience a lot more fun.

Travel Smart

While we are at smart gadgets, the foremost is a smart SIM card with an affordable data plan, so you stay connected on-the-go. If you don’t want to be distracted by the smartphone, opt for tablet which is much less of a diversion than easily accessible smartphone in your pocket!

Tablets are also good for book lovers who can easily read e-books, instead of lugging around paperbacks. The worst nightmare on a trip is a fried device. As the European power outlets are different, it is advisable to bring along a voltage converter.

Say Cheese

You want to make your Europe visit memorable. Capture as many images as you want with Instax® SQUARE SQ20 by FujiFilm to preserve your European trip memories forever.

Your Ticket out of here!

While the ancient explorers relied on stars and needles of the compass, you should pack your travel guide and download all the maps you might need out in the wild! Last but not least, ensure your travel documents are complete and in proper order to make your flight check-ins hassle free.

Bottom Line – Packing List For Europe In Spring

Whether you are putting together a packing list for 2 weeks in Europe spring or a quick weekend getaway in Europe, below is a breakdown of what you will need:

1 full sleeve top
2 tank tops
2 short sleeves tees
2 dresses
1-2 blouses

The Perfect Weekend Bags For Men and Women

August 12, 2016 by admin 9 Comments

Being a travel blogger, I guess I don’t need convince you of the fact that I travel a lot. Working as a consultant also means I travel for much of my projects so having the perfect weekend bag for short or quick getaway is a must. Currently making the weekly rounds between London and Harry Potter’s playground in beautiful Oxford. I hope my recent weekend trips to Paris, Copenhagen, Warsaw, Edinburgh, the English countryside and many other European cities have served inspiration for you to pack your bags and head for a little break. With the right weekend bag one can quickly hop on out of the city for a little weekend R&R with minimal packing effort.

Those weekend trips are all about maximising the time you have for play on your getaway, and doing so means reducing the time you have to check in at airports or dragging around big bags. You want to be able to pack a carry-on and go from work to play in about as little time as it takes Lewis Hamilton to get from 0-60! That means having a weekend bag perfect for a carry-on-only getaway. Who doesn’t need an escape from the weekday grind? The Catalina weekender by Lo and Son is perfect for skipping the check-in desk and heading straight to departures. This little baby comes in a few shades but being a lover of all shades of blue, I went for Indigo, but there are a few more colours in the range if blue doesn’t get your wanderlust flowing. Reasons to love this weekender?

What Makes The Perfect Weekender Bag?

1. Compartment

iPad/kindle sleeve and room for any other gadgets you might want to tuck in there. My favourite is the compartment at the bottom, which you can use to separate any used, dirty clothes from your getaway as well as use it to separate shoes from clothes. I have sometimes used this compartment to separate clothes from all my other gadgets I travel with. All my camera accessories, GoPro, nano pods go at the bottom while clothes go in the main bag.

2. Washable

How many times have you spilled shampoo or conditioner or make-up in your luggage. I love that you can quickly throw this in the machine and have it spanking new again.

3. Simple Design

and fits so much in it. I am all about minimal packing for the weekend getaways so, I was super surprised and thankful of how much you can put into this bag. Also, perfect for those that want to do long term trips with just a carry-on. You can get so much in there!

4. Easily Customisable

This is something I haven’t done yet but I think the material is perfect to have a customised embroidery done on it. I may look into it and update this post once I get it done. Or possibly get the iron-on design with a travel quote or something. #watchthisspace

I love a bag that is both functional and super light! It definitely ticks all the right boxes for a weekender. Another plus is that you can easily roll it up on your luggage as additional luggage.

Below I have also provided a few altnerative covering weekend bag with wheels, both designer weekend bags and more economically priced brands. So whether you are after a weekend bag for men or women or if you are looking to get a weekend bag for lady or man in your life below are a few perfect alternative.

April 11, 2016 by admin 9 Comments

The Colourful Le Moretti

With the Eurostar only 30mins away from me I am surprised I don’t do Paris every other weekend. You can check out my posts on some of my previous adventures in Paris. On this trip we also managed to take a trip to explore La Defense. La Defense in Paris is a major business district. I would liken it to London’s Canary Wharf and because it’s there are mainly offices there, tourists tend to not go there so much. Unless you are into architecture photography that is. Don’t cross it off because you assumed there is nothing to see there. It offers great views into Paris. You can see the Eiffel tower from La Defense. You can also see right through Arc de Triomphe from La Defense. The architecture is beautiful here, not to mention that because it’s a business hub, there are many places to eat and shop to cater to those working and spending a majority of their time in this location.

La Defense is also the site of the Grande Arche, one of Paris’ modern and imposing landmarks. This was the place the Charles de Gaulle concentrated skyscrapers, rather than changing the character of the Parisienne buildings with large and modern commercial buildings. Many of Paris’ tallest buildings can be found here.

If you are a lover of modern art then you will love the remarkable pieces of modern art in this part of Paris. The business district of La Defense as small as it is it boasts 40 statues, sculptures, and monuments in its 400 acres. One monument that sticks out is the beautifully colourful tower called Cheminée Moretti or simply Le Moretti. This is a 32-meter high chimney composed of 672 colourful strands of fiberglass tubes. Running at a total length of 22km in 19 different colours. I haven’t been in La Defense at night but apparently once the floodlights at the top a lit, it allows the colours of the chimney to be reflected on surrounding buildings. For More on cool places to add to your Paris Itinerary check out The Daily Adventures Of Me.

Getting there: It’s the last stop on line one but can also be reached via line A of RER.

Where to stay in La Defense:

Pullman Hotel, Renaissance, Mercure, Novotel, and Movenpick. All located in La Defense.

Places to eat in La Defense: There are plenty of places to eat not to mention that each of the hotels mentioned above will also have a restaurant and bars to entertain the many people who visit this district for work.

Where to stay in La Defense: There are quite a few buildings with corporate organizations so as you may guess with some hotels nearby. To find places to stay in Paris or La Defense check out my favourite booking site; Booking.com.

It’s not too far from the city so if you are in Paris and looking for a new vantage point to see the city, definitely check it out.

La Grande Arche de la Défense, a monument, and building in the business district of La Défense and in the commune of Puteaux, to the west of Paris, France. It is usually known as the Arche de la Défense or simply as La Grande Arche.

Cafe Deli-Cieux – Paris Rooftop Cafe With Views

Who would dare say no to a quick brunch with 360° of Paris? No one! On my last trip to Paris before heading out to Australia my boyfriend and I decided on a weekend visit to Paris before I disappeared off to Australia for two weeks.

Having skipped breakfast in the morning it wasn’t long before we needed a caffeine break from exploring Paris’ beautiful streets. What was to be a quick stop at Printemps turned out to be a long brunch as the views on Printemps Rooftop Terrace are just breathtaking. Right in the heart of Paris you can get a bite to eat, drink and have the best view in town and all 360° of it.

From Printemps’ Le Deli-Cieux Rooftop Terrace Cafe you can see Montmartre, Eiffel Tower, Opera de Garnier. If you haven’t been to Au Printemps then it’s high time you added it to your list. It’s pretty big, taking up about 5 buildings with an endless list of designer levels set on 6 storeys of the building.

From Women’s Fashion to Men’s and everything you can possibly need for your house, cat and dog all housed in this beautiful spot in the city. With a rambling stomach and major pangs for coffee, shopping was far from my mind.

It was breezy and cold but with the sun out it offered just enough warmth to bear. With Parisian icons in almost every direction its a shame and a treat at the same time that not many tourists know about this place.

Next time you are in Paris, be sure to add a quick visit to Au Printemps for a quick tea or coffee with a view to match when you next visit Paris. The beauty of this place is that it offer a viewing platform of the city all without having to pay for it. Unless of course you are getting some food in the rooftop cafe. Either way its well worth the trip to the top.

Au Printemps Rooftop Terrace Address: 9th Floor of the home and beauty building, 64 boulevard Haussmann 75009 Paris
