Tips

To extend your trip, add a full day in the Basque Country to explore San Sebastián’s nearby coastal towns or spend an extra day in Paris for a day trip to Versailles. If you need to shorten the itinerary, consider skipping Biarritz and traveling directly from Lagos to Paris, or combine Amsterdam with a quick day trip to nearby Haarlem instead of a full day.
