London
Fun, unique places and activities to do in London UK based on my trip in 2023
A unique underground artistic paradise!! You're allowed to spray paint the ground/ walls/ ceilings of the vast tunnels while there are food places, clubs, and venues in the tunnels as well. I saw a comedy parody musical in an underground theater that...
The Vaults
A tall beautifully lit building that is full of restaurants with a stunning view! I had a themed tea experience
The Shard
A stunning and iconic place to be that really makes you feel like you are in a movie! Free and beautiful to view outside. The building was under renovations when I went so we couldn't go inside, but when it is open you can get tickets to go inside!
Big Ben
Want to see a cool castle with a whole village in it? This is your place! See armor, battle weapons, the crown jewels, places of beheadings and so much more! This is a multiple hour experience that requires buying tickets to enter. Plan on spending 4...
Tower of London
An iconic bridge that you can visit on your walk to the Tower of London! Such a beautiful and powerful structure
Tower Bridge: Homepage
An INCREDIBLE restaurant at the top of the Shard over looking London. I booked a themed afternoon tea experience with a Peter Pan theme! It was incredible. Sandwiches, bottomless themed teas, biscuits, pastries, sweets and so much more.
Aqua Shard
A once in a life time shopping experience! It's basically a giant themed building filled with exotic stores, luxury brands, a butcher, chocolate shops, and so much more. I went during Christmas where all the windows had been transformed into gingerbr...
Harrods
Life changing Peruvian food in London! Cozy atmosphere that only seats a small number of people. They have fresh fish and cook a variety of exotic fishes. They have an open grill and fire pit complete with banana leaves, plantains, and much more. Thi...
Chicama
A MASSIVE museum with so many treasures from all over the world. Plan on spending the whole day here, or honestly you could spend multiple days here. My favorite exhibits were the Egyptian mummies and the greek buildings.
The British Museum
Paris
Fun, unique places and activities to do in Paris France based on my trip in 2023
A peaceful and macabre experience where you reserve tickets for a time slot to walk through the Catacombs (well the parts open to the public at least). It is dark, cramped (but enough height to stand), cold, and you are surrounded by bones of the dea...
Catacombs of Paris
The iconic landmark is definitely worth a visit, especially at night!! The tickets were easy to purchase at the foot of the monument, then it was up the elevator! We went in December so it wasn't super crowded. Being on the tower when it starts to sp...
The OFFICIAL Eiffel Tower website: tickets, news, info...
A small bakery that has delicious Pain au chocolat, croissants, and an empanadas. It was lovely to sit on the park bench near by, eat, and feed the cute pigeons.
Tout Autour du Pain
A ticket based experience that is worth every penny! Inside this Chapelle was some of the most heavenly, introquet, and mind blowing stained glass and architecture I have ever seen. My friend was moved to tears at it's beauty. I highly recommend atte...
Sainte-Chapelle
Still closed for repairs from the fire, but WOW what a sight to see even from the outside. There are so many cool gargoyls on this building.
Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris
A cozy restaurant where all their ingredients are locally grown / sourced and ALL their food is made in house! I had the BEST french onion soup and their aubrac beef bourguignon was good too
Los Filósofos
A unique and beautiful museum inside a re-purposed train station! So many beautiful marble sculptures and iconic Van Gogh paintings!
Musée d'Orsay
An iconic and beautifully sculpted land mark. I saw it from the ground and took fun pics. You can pay to go up on top of it.
Arc de Triomphe
I had the BEST pain du chocolat, a raspberry macaron sandwich, and a basil tomato motz toasty!
Boulangerie Midoré Café - Opéra
The biggest and most impressive art museum I have ever been too. You could spend months here and never see it all! The courtyard is iconic, peaceful, and if you are lucky, full of musicians!
Louvre Museum Official Website
A delicious Italian restaurant in Paris. They have french and english menus. I got the Plate of Grilled and Candied Vegetables and it was heavenly. So was the Gnocchi pollo e pesto
Liberta
A cozy warm restaurant with heavier comfort food. Porcini Ravioli- cream with summer truffle was one of the best things I had on my entire trip!
Les Antiquaires
A once in a life time experience worth every penny!!! Enter a beautifully red theater with the iconic wind mill, get seated with your champagne, and get prepared for the most mind blowing dance, theater, performance of your life!! Snakes, daring stun...
Moulin Rouge
