Tips

If you need more time, consider adding an extra day in Paris to explore the Luxembourg Gardens and a Seine river cruise, or a second day in Amsterdam to visit the nearby windmills of Zaanse Schans. To shorten the trip, you can skip the Versailles day‑trip and replace the Heineken Experience with a quick canal walk, still capturing the essential sights while reducing travel time and cost.
