Tips

To extend the trip, add an extra day in each city to explore additional neighborhoods like Le Marais in Paris or the vibrant Camden market in London. If you need to shorten the itinerary, combine Day 2 and Day 3 by skipping the Centre Pompidou and focusing on the Louvre and Orsay, and replace the London Eye with a free walk across the Thames, which still offers stunning views without the extra cost.
