Bourton-on-the-Water before 10am on the Cotswolds day; the village is a different place from the midday version. In Paris, walk Montmartre independently before any guided visit: Place du Tertre before the portrait painters set up and the Sacré-Coeur steps at 7am give you the hill at its most atmospheric. For Rome with three nights, the pizza-making class on the first evening: it orients you to the neighborhood, you eat well, and you start the next morning with local context already in place.

Itinerary inspiration

London, Paris, Rome in ten days is one of the great European sequences. Each city is distinct enough that moving between them feels like genuine travel rather than a checklist, and three nights in each gives you time to go beyond the main sights without losing momentum.

View less details

A detail a lot of travelers miss about the Louvre: the Richelieu wing is consistently less crowded than the Denon wing where the Mona Lisa draws everyone, and it contains some of the museum's most extraordinary work. If your schedule is flexible, start there and work your way across.

Day 1–3: London

Hotel: H10 London Waterloo Hotel

Three nights at the H10 London Waterloo puts you on the South Bank, within easy reach of Westminster, the Tower, and Buckingham Palace. The London Eye fast-track entry is worth using at dusk — the city at that hour is the best version of that view. The Oxford and Cotswolds day trip is a natural change of pace before the Channel crossing.

Day 4–6: Paris

Hotel: Hôtel Claridge Paris

The Hôtel Claridge sits near the Champs-Élysées, well-placed for the Louvre, the Seine, and Montmartre. Three nights gives you a full day for the major landmarks and museums, a morning in Montmartre at its own pace, and an evening to walk the city after dark when the Eiffel Tower is lit. That last part is worth protecting in your schedule.

Day 7–10: Rome

Hotel: Hotel Diana Roof Garden

Three nights at the Hotel Diana Roof Garden gives you the Colosseum and Roman Forum on one proper morning, the Vatican on another, and the pizza-making class as a genuinely good Roman evening that isn't built around a monument. The rooftop at the Diana is worth a drink at the end of a long day — the city from up there puts everything into perspective.
