Itinerary ideas?

You could do a crazy whirlwind of 3 days in London, 4 days in Paris, 2 days in Dijon, 3 days in Florence and 3 days in Rome all by train. Check out seat61.com to see the low carbon emissions way to do it all. You won't see it all but you will see several amazing European centres and next time can focus and spend more time.

Or you could do a week in each and find a cheap flight from London to Rome.

Or something in between.

I would do the crazy whirlwind.

Whatever you choose, spend at least 2 nights per city. Otherwise, you will waste a lot of time travelling and checking in and out of hotels, instead of having fun.

I'd recommend focusing on London, Paris, Rome and possibly a day trip or two from those locations. Plan on 1 full day to 1/2 day travel time between cities (Eurostar train between London and Paris and a flight between Paris and Rome).

These three cities could easily be worth a whole week visit to themselves, but if you give them 3 days each or more you could hit the highlights and visit a few of the nearby cities.

If you add 1 more week to your trip you could add other cities to the list based on your interests. (For example beaches, architecture, food etc)

Juan,

The sky is the limit! So many beautiful places between London & Rome!

You could follow Sandra's advice & do a "crazy whirlwind" type of trip or take your time in the cities of your choice & really enjoy exploring them.

One of my first trips to Europe was a "crazy whirlwind" type of trip (2 weeks in Spain, south of France, Florence & Rome) & I wished we would have spent more days in each of the cities we visited. Sure, you can always go back & do just that...

If you only have 14 days, not counting days of flights to & from home, I'd concentrate visiting 1-2 countries but not 3.

You could do London, Paris & south of France, or just explore Italy the whole time-- Venice, Florence, Rome, with day trips from each of these cities. I think spending at least 3 days in each city is the minimum.

You will get many differing responses here, so I'd suggest reading some guidebooks, before you decide where you'd like to go.

Happy Planning!

Two major cities per week is my rule of thumb. Day trip from the city into the surrounding area if you wish, but don't try to squeeze something as big as London or Rome into 2 nights! In your case, week 1 would be London and (something), week 2 (something2) and Rome. A week is 3 or 4 nights per city if you do 2, which is a good taste of a place.

Suggestions: London, Paris, Venice, Rome.
London, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome
London, Venice, Florence, Rome

These are obviously big cities, if you prefer smaller towns in the middle, look into some regions in England, France or Italy especially. Transit to these places can be a bit harder depending on just how off-the-beaten-path you are looking into.

You could take advantage of cheap inter-europe flights and go somewhere not geographically aligned with London - Rome, like Prague or Lisbon, but a more logical path follows a broad path with London at the top, something in the middle, then Italy.

Thanks for the replies and insight
@priscilla I went to Europe for the first time 2yrs ago I didn't do the usual first timers visit and planned a multi city country tour. Do to my short stay I've experience Rome for a week and I loved the idea of staying for that long in one location and getting the feel of the place and getting to do and see most of the things on my bucket list. So I might just do that again narrow it down 😀

London-Paris or Amsterdam-Paris are pretty fast by train; those tickets go on sale 3-4 months in advance at the best rates. For other international hops between major cities (such as Paris to Italy or Paris to Spain), budget flights are usually both cheaper and faster; see www.skyscanner.com.

Juan, from your second post it seems like you're not a "crazy whirlwind" traveler, I'm not either (at least not in this century). If your flights are set and you know you want to visit London and Rome, then I'd suggest splitting your time among London, Paris, and Rome depending on your interests and priorities. Eurostar to Paris, fly to Rome. Stick to big cities because there's more to see there and November isn't ideal weather at least in northern Europe.

Whatever you decide, I'd agree with the poster above who advised spending at least two nights per stop, to give you at least one full day of sightseeing and not having to pack, check out, move, check in, and unpack on consecutive days. The more I travel the slower I go.

Thanks guys!
