Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider visiting more museums in London or take a day trip to Oxford or Stonehenge. In Brussels, visit the Comic Strip Museum or try some Belgian beers. In Paris, explore the Latin Quarter or take a day trip to the Palace of Fontainebleau. If you have less time, skip some of the museums and focus on the highlights of each city. Instead of visiting the Atomium, explore the art nouveau district of Brussels or take a street art tour in Paris.
