Europe is a rich piece of land: whether it be scenic beauty or vibrant cultures and traditions, or valuable art, the continent has it all. However, thanks to the modern hectic and monotony-demanding life, it is only rare that one can take out enough time to explore all of Europe’s top destinations. But, all hope is not lost! Travel itineraries are an excellent way to make the best out of your exploratory journeys. Therefore, we have compiled the ten best 2-week Europe itinerary ideas across Europe that will let you absorb the continent’s maximum goodness in only two weeks.
1. London-Paris-Rome
How to Travel Between Cities?
Traveling from London to Paris is most conveniently done via trains. From Paris to Rome, while it might be possible by high-speed train it will eat up too much of your precious time. We recommend you fly from Paris to Rome instead. Not only it’s a short flight and you save so much time, but the best part is also the fact that a direct flight usually cheaper or might cost about the same as a long-distance train from Paris! Plus you get to enjoy Italy on the same day.
What to See and Do?
London: Four days in London are ideal for visiting most of the iconic landmarks in the city. Ensure that you do not miss Big Ben, London Eye, Tower Bridge, and Buckingham Palace. Want to see more than just London? It’s very much possible to visit places such as Stonehenge on a day trip from London and see other sites along the way, such as Bath, Oxford, and Windsor!
Paris: The next four to five days of your itinerary should be dedicated to Paris. Paris is littered with iconic landmarks you would not want to miss, The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Louvre being a few of them.
Rome: The remaining days should be reserved for exploring the iconic Rome. Spend your time roaming alleys, enjoying delicious cuisines, and visiting monumental buildings. There is so much to see and experience in this magical city and you will most likely spend every bit of your time here. If not and you still craving more Italian adventure then consider a day trip from Rome to the surrounding areas.
2 of our favorites day trips are to Ostia. This nearby beach town is situated only 40 minutes away from Rome but gives you a completely different Italian feel.
Next, is a day trip to Castel Gandolfo. This one of the most beautiful towns in the region is also less than an hour away by train from Rome. What so special about it? Not only it’s known for its beauty, but the Castel Gandolfo sits overlooking the crater lake of an extinct volcano and for 400 years, it hosted the Popes during the hot Roman summer!

Amsterdam: Plan to stay here for approximately three days, as the city can get very expensive for some people. Explore its tiny alleys, clubs, the Anne Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum.
