London - Paris

Hi,

I am planning for a 5 day trip %26amp; would like to visit London %26amp; Paris.

Please advice, how many days in London %26amp; how many days in Paris would be ideal?

Thanks in advance.

Here in the Paris forum, the answer may be %26quot;half hour in London, the rest in Paris%26quot;...

You have to decide if one city intrigues you more than the other, and balance your limited time accordingly.... if not, how bout 2 1/2 days in each...?

Thanks Beeks..I am going ahead with your suggestion.

The half hour in London and the rest of the time in Paris...? lol

Both great cities... I love them both... but as fate would have it, I%26#39;ve been to London 5 times but Paris, only twice... I need to balance that out! But London is almost a given, as most of the cheap flights from the west coast go through Heathrow....

Enjoy...!

I agree, half hour in London is all you need and the rest should be in Paris. However, London is still fun though. Good beer, and good over all city.

I disagree - and I should be sticking up for my own capital city!. IMHO London is dirty, expensive and unfriendly. Paris on the other hand is clean, much less expensive even with the dubious exchange rate, and so so welcoming.

Give me Paris any day. In the last 25 years I have been there dozens of times,and still find new things to do each trip, but been to London only a handful of times - and that%26#39;s rarely by choice.

Honestly, I think Paris is nice but so is London. I don%26#39;t think they are mutually exclusive but I do think you should spend your five days in only one city. There is so much to see in both places.

Make it Paris this year and London the next or the other way around if you like. I last visited Paris in December 2008 and loved the festive atmosphere!
