"Day7) arc de triomphe,Eiffel tower, champs élysées,maxims restaurant,opera garnier,moulin rouge & montmarte"

Do you want just to see all these from outside? Or do you want to visit Opera, or to see a spectacle there? What about Moulin Rouge? About Eiffel Tower?

I do not think that you can do all what you listed for this day.

Day 3 - you have only an afternoon. No time for every thing.

OMG, Heimdall - that was hysterical! Thanks so much!

I love the guy bringing the cold hermaphrodites over to watch the game with his friend.

I can only speak to London and I am someone who does plan plan plan - I have decided that I could have a month and still fill it up in London. Some websites that would be a huge help are http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/use...T2?language=en

find out when things are open - plan routes - prioritize and be prepared that you might not see it all - I did have a crazy plan for my last trip and I can tell you I did see it all but it was after taking advice from great Fodor's and doing research first.

We really have planned this out by walking maps and subways and buses if needed, from our hotels We have looked at times open /closed for things want to do. We may not tour all these things but just see them from outside to decide for another trip if want to tour it. This will be a great fun trip, I know . Just wondered if y'all know of anything should see

Sorry -

You have not planned this all out. some of the days you are bouncing around like a ping pong ball. Have you looked at the times on the tube - to see how long it will really take to get from one place to another. If you are planning on using buses - what speed are you figuring? Are you allowing for the massive traffic in some of the city centers?

I'm sure there are people here who could give you ideas of dozens more things there are to see and do - but you can't begin to cover what you have listed.

I especially love Day 18 in Florence - when you will either trek all over town with your luggage - somehow seeing 6 major sights in less than 5 hours (and will you have advance tickets - or will the hours spend waiting in line for them come out of the 6 sights in 5 hours?) or first go to drop it at you hotel then return to the sights (so now 4 hours)?

And day 20. If you take a train at 4 pm to Venice - how will you see the Doge's Palace when the last entry is at 6 pm? Or are you just going to spend 5 minutes looking at the outside.

(Frankly, if that's what you're going to do - you may as well just buy a video and stay home - you'll see a lot more).

<Just wondered if y'all know of anything should see>

You already have WAY too much on your list in the first place, you don't need our help to think of more things!!

You have days that are simply physically impossible (Day 7 Paris jumps out as one of those).

do you have hotels in London yet?? THAT will help in planning. You arrive at 11:45 at the airport or are you talking about being at the hotel? I suggest going inside the Tower of London - there isnt much to see from the street. This could be three hours! It closes at 5:30 and the last tour is around 2:30.
Like I said before you CAN see alot of stuff in one day - day one of is the only day I see problems with - but I only know London.... I would flip day one and two - Abbey Road, British Museum and a show could be done in one afternoon/evening and then you have an entire day for Tower, Shakespeare Globe, Tate Modern and London Eye - I personally couldnt decide if I wanted to visit the London Eye in the morning or evening - both could be awesome!!

You are deluding yourself if you think you really planned this out. You have days that are absolutely unthinkably impossible, even if all you want to do is look at things in passing (and why would anyone go all the way to Europe and spend all that money just to look at things from the outside? Have you NO interest in history or curiosity about what those things really are and what they represent?) Seriously, stay home and watch videos and save your money.

I didn't see it stated, or maybe I missed it, but I'm assuming this is a 1st trip to Europe?

"<i>We really have planned this out by walking maps and subways and buses if needed, from our hotels We have looked at times open /closed for things want to do.</i>"

You may <i>think</i> you have this all figured/planned out - but you don't. You also seem convinced this is a totally realistic itinerary - but it is not.

Since you seem unable to accept this, I can't see what value there is in additional posts . . .

(BTW, your latest idea - from your other thread - to drive from Venice to Vienna to 'save time' isn't even remotely practical)

> We may not tour all these things but just see them from outside to decide for another trip if want to tour it.

I'm not sure I understand how seeing the outside of a building would help you decide whether you want to tour it on another trip.

Are we sure this is for real???????? It's crazy :O

Doesn't mean it's not "for real"!!

Sadly, I believe this is for real.

I just wish the new posters that come here with these outrageous itineraries would come back after the trip and report on what they had learned. But they never do. Not sure if it is
1) total exhaustion
2 severe embarrassment
3)inability to remember what they have seen in the miasma of constant rushing from place to place

I would love to have a report on one of these trips to refer new poster to.

Or - they <i>could</i> come back and lie about how WONDERFUL everything worked out >)

Lovetravel2 welcome to fodors. I'm a simple sort of guy and I get a bit naggy after a transatlantic flight, either I get a coffee headache or I need a little nap time. So I just had a look at day 1

Day 1)arrive in london 11:45am ride the london eye, see Tate modern, Shakespeare globe exhibition,tower of london,

Now Tate modern needs at least 3 hours to enjoy and the Globe exhibition (i'd drop) and takes about an hour and then the Tower of London needs say 4 hours. So I thought "could we redesign"

So I suggest 1) tower of london, 2) short nap 3) london eye at night. Job done.

perhaps this is a "joke"?

Even if wasn't meant to be a joke, it is one.
