An extra day in Florence or Paris?
 
Can't decide? What are your thoughts and why? Have already been to both, tho, that doesn't really mean too much.....

any thoughts?

I guess to me it depends how you were planning to divide the days up to begin with.

It would be helpful to know your itinerary.

IMHO, whichever city you choose, can't go wrong. I'm more of an Itali-phile, but if given choice between those two I think I'd have to lean towards Paris. There's sooooooo much to do & see. Alternatively, why not consider your choices of daytrips? For instance, an extra day in Paris gives you chance to visit Giverney or perhaps Versailles. OR putting that extra day in Florence might mean you can see Siena or Lucca.

Maybe a quiz would help.<BR><BR>Do you like better:<BR><BR>a) Camembert or <BR>b) Asiago<BR><BR>a) Creme caramel or<BR>b) Spumoni<BR><BR>a) Monet or<BR>b) Raphael<BR><BR>a) Champagne or<BR>b) Chianti<BR><BR>a) Chocolat or<BR>b) Tea with Mussolini<BR><BR>Score 1 points for each a, 2 points for each b.<BR><BR>For a score of 5-7, an extra day in Paris, 8-10 Florence. <BR>

to the mysterious xxxxxx, I looooved your quiz! what a great idea! I pretty much like everything, so I really can't go wrong. leaning towards Paris because there's just sooooooo much more life & things to do.

Hey, Becky, I think Paris is a much better idea. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed Florence, but I felt I could also get more for my American dollar in Paris.

It depends whnere you'll be on the rest of your trip.
