Amsterdam Vs Zurich
 

hello , im travelling to paris in mid April for a week , and im thicking to go through train to zurich or amsterdam for 2 days ,,, which city to go , advice pls

Have you been to Paris before?.... If not, I would say neither. A week just scratches the surface. Why those two cities? There are other closer options.

Amsterdam has better museums than Zurich.

Amsterdam is lovely...would be my choice..about 4 hours by train.
Brussels , less then 2 hours. Not sure about Zurich.

than 2....

And I agree... If you have to give up two days in Paris(a sin, but there 's a lot of sinners out there) ... I would also go to Amsterdam.

hmm. actually i've never been to Europe in general :) ill be in paris for a week but i would like to go to other city , a nearby city , i checked the trains and its only 3 1/2 hours to amsterdam, but when i saw pictures of zurich i liked it too , so u all thick amsterdam is better ?

I do like Amsterdam... But keep an open mind, and agenda. The first time we went to Paris, I planned some trips. In a week, we never had time. Paris is my happy place... So I can spend weeks there and never leave. If you want two different experiences (albeit still in France), I might consider Nice. I wrote a pretty detailed blog about Nice and the surrounding hillside towns at worldinbetween.wordpress.com. I also wrote about Paris, but from a different perspective. I only suggest it because it gives you a non big city second option (and it is great).

Whatever you decide... You can not go wrong.

thank you @worldinbetween ill check the blog :)

Amsterdam is way better than Zurich. But then so is Strasbourg, Luxembourg, Brugges, Trier, Reims, I could go on....
