Tips

If you have extra time, consider adding a half‑day in London to visit St. Paul’s Cathedral or the National Gallery. In Paris, a boat cruise on the Seine can replace the evening at Versailles for a shorter itinerary. For a quicker Amsterdam experience, swap the Heineken Experience for a leisurely bike ride through the canal district. Conversely, to extend the trip, allocate an additional night in each city to explore neighborhoods like Shoreditch, Montmartre, and the Jordaan at a relaxed pace.
