Hi there,
We’re getting married in October…
We’d like to fly from Belfast to London and then get the train to Paris, perhaps spend a couple of days there, then get the train to Amsterdam and flying home from there…
Does this sound do-able? I’m really clueless about the whole thing!!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

How many days total? I’d recommend 3 or 4 in London and 3 or 4 in Paris and 2 in Amsterdam — not counting your flight days….

I think 2 days in London, then 3 days in Paris and 2 in Amsterdam… what do you think?

I think both London and Paris need 3 full days. If I had to cut one to 2 days, it would be Paris. How does travel time impact this? Are you talking full days, or does travel time cut into the time you spend in any of these cities?

I think your trip is doable provided you don’t try to see everything each city has to offer. For example, go look at the eiffel tower but skip lining up for hours (and spending lots of money) to go to the top.
