Question

I am vacationing in London and Paris this summer and was wondering if anyone who has been has any suggestions?

Answer 1

if u want a nice view of the eiffel tower stay at the paris hilton i think its 1 of the best hotels there it might cost u though

Answer 2

don't know much about london, but i do about paris. remember before going to paris it will be unlike anything you've ever experienced. the culture is different, so once you stop your mind from expecting for france to be like america you will have overcome a big step indeed. firstly, you'll want to learn a few phrases, but not limited to: bonjour, merci, comment ca va, excusez-moi, etc. i would advise you however, not to take the train to paris from the airport. take a cab, it will save you lots of grief, trust me. as for sight seeing, most of the well known places are all along the champs elysees, the long road going through paris. the french like order, so everything is nice and neat. if you need more info you can message me.

Answer 3

Go to Edinburgh Scotland and skip Paris.  

Make sure if you are traveling from the States that you sleep on the plane and get right into their time.  If it's 10 AM there time when you get there, get going.  Don't stop, sleep when they sleep, otherwise the Jet lag will kill you.  Make sure and take a copy of your passport, and keep it separate from your passport.  That way if your passport is lost or stolen you will have an easier time at the US Embassy.  

In London:

Don't rent a car- Take the Tubes everywhere.

Must see

Buckingham Palace

Westminster Abbey

Tower of London

Hyde Park

Trafalgar Square

Take in a play in Picadilly Circus.  There theater is wonderful!

Have a pint of Bittah for me at The Warwick Arms a Pub that used to be in the Center of Piccadilly, about 10 years ago.  Love it.

Head to Warwick and take in the Castle and Stratford upon Avon.  

If I were you I would take a midnight train to Edinburgh and see the castle, and the Palace at Holyrood, and stay at Borthwick Castle for a night or two.

Anyway, that is what I would do.  Have a wonderful trip.

St Paul's Cathedral: Huge cathedral, with a great dome.

Shakespeare's Globe Theatre:Recreation of the destroyed theatre in Tudor Style in which all Shakespearean plays were shown.

London Zoo:Great collection of animals

Buckingham Palace and the Mall:Take a tour around the Palace in which the Queen resides, one of the finest buildings in the world in my opinion when I did a tour of it. The Mall is a mile long magnificently decorated road leading to the Palace.

Try Watching a play at the Adelphi or Piccadilly Circus, such as Joseph and the Technicolored Dreamcoat and Lion King.

Paris:

Champs Elysees:Similar to The Mall in design.

Science Museum:Spend hours there, you have to look around it's great!

Sacre Coeur:Massive White Church, magnificent archtecture.

Asterix Land and Disneyland are great Theme Parks.

Best place to eat:Hippopotamus.

Answer 6

If you don't have much time (I had over two weeks in the UK, but only took a day trip to Paris), ride the sightseeing bus that goes in a circle & stops at the major sites.  You can get a look at everything, and get off to really visit the sites you want.  I would suggest going to the top of the Eiffel Tower.  Also, take good walking shoes & a camera with lots of memory (or your computer to download to.)
