PARIS: (FRANCE)



The city does not only serve as the capital of France but also the hub of  Fashion & Art. It is a city which has space for poor and rich. It can fulfill the wishes of everyone and give the bread and butter for several people. You know it and you will find it in Paris!!. Disney land, Garden, sports club, Night clubs, River cruise, Eiffel tower, Night outs, Parties, Clothes, and everything you know.. 
People have a fantasy to marry in Europe and it is no surprise to me why they want it. 

Suggestion:: 
Paris like other European city have the Hop-Hoff buses as per several routes to view in the city.
It has 2 day trips variant also. The center to connect is Gard-le-East train station. This is the place from where you will get all the sight seeing buses or connections to main places of Paris.

I would suggest to avoid shopping if you are going for the first time and have limited time. In case you have a inclination for shopping than most of the train station have good street shopping. There are also malls which can be visited to do brand shopping.

1st Option:
One day Hop-Hoff Bus.
-> The street foods can be taken and have a lavish great dinner at night at clubs.
-> Please note to save your pockets from pick-picketers and street vendors. and carry your own water.

Morning: Take the city tour Bus and see all the big monuments and surrounding area of Paris.This is 1 hour ride.

Mid Day: Go to Louvre Museum to see the splendid paintings by various European artists, including Monalisa and the DaVince Code Traingle structures on the top of the museum. Frankly, if you are art fan even 2 days are less to explore the whole museum. Take a walk near the Museum at the Central garden and streets to see or get the most expensive European goods and a look at the old architectures.
**If you are a student , you can carry your pass and get discounts.
**You can book the online tickets in advance.














Evening: Visit the EIFFEL tower to see the view of the city from the TOP and enjoy a glass of wine the loved ones on the top of the tower. Enjoy the inclined elevators to reach different levels:) The night light show at the tower is a MUST watch at PARIS. The central garden also gives you the Entertainment which music.















Nights: Enjoy the night clubs with Moulin Rouge or a river cruise.




















2cnd Option:

The whole day is required to enjoy the Paris Disney land. For kids it is must. As per the season the ticket price is from 49$ to 70$ per person and rides. There are expensive ones too.

The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris, is one of the worth seeing place if you want to enjoy peace in the hassle of one of the most busiest city in the world. Morning visits are nice and than enjoy the evening shopping and having wonderful food.



STRASBOURG: (FRANCE)



The small city of Strasbourg is like mini Paris and one of the must visit city in France. It has windy Church and a wonderful market. You would see the peaceful city life around Strasbourg. This would be your Pit-stop while moving out of Paris and entering Switzerland. Leave by evening from Paris and have a night stay at Strasbourg to enjoy the real winds of black forest.

The Cathedral "Cathedrale Notre Dame de Strasbourg" is the center area of Strasbourg which is a must visit. The market place and big malls are all around the cathedral. You can enjoy shopping and have a street walk and know the wonderful history and folk tales of the cathedral.

LUGANO - ZURICH : (SWITZERLAND)



After Strasbourg ride we would end the colorful France and enter the natural green yet romantic black forest covered Switzerland. Natural yet one of the modern country whose tourists visits is the highest in the world. Your choice of the city to enter from Strasbourg should be Lugano and end of the trip should be Zurich. Lugano is one day trip and Zurich offers you as cherry of Switzerland and offers several places to visit.

Lugano is a natural place. The must visit is Lake Lugano and Cable car trip to Mountain San Salvatore. This is close to the Italian border. The rejuvenation process whilst enjoying the landscapes is a tale on its own.
