Vacationing in Rome, Paris, and London

In recent surveys of which getaways Americans dream of, it is not surprising that romantic and historic cities like Rome, Paris, and London lead the list. The centuries of culture, literature, and history that so many Americans know of these three cities make it easy to understand the desire to see them up close. And of course, it’s a dream come true when one is given the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in one of these beautiful and rich cultures.

The many architectural wonders of the Roman Empire, as well as the food and culture, call from Italy. Whether devout or not, many visitors also come to pay respects to the Holy City and witness the beauty of the Vatican. Known also for its wealth of shopping opportunities, Rome is a feast for the sense. And the Roman City States are near enough at hand to make a tour of Italy a natural extension of your Roman Holiday. For this reason, it is advantageous to see Italy through a number of one or night commitments. This vacation plan allows you to travel more freely across the Italian countryside.

While the French countryside is equally beautiful, the need to travel far beyond the gates of Paris is decidedly lower than the draw of the areas surrounding Rome. If you choose Paris, you of course know it is the most romantic city in the world. For some reason, French is the language of love, and lovers would be hard pressed to find a better getaway than a week spent in a Paris apartment rental. Visits to the Cathedral of Notre Dame, the Louvre, or the Eiffel Tower are just a few of the landmark opportunities waiting within walking distance for those who choose one of many beautiful Paris vacation apartments.

Though Rome may lend itself to a tour of the Italian countryside, once you arrive in Paris you won’t want to leave. Finding Paris apartment rentals is advisable for this reason, as you will no doubt want to set up your own Parisian home – albeit a temporary one – and give yourself over to the city for as long as you are able. Rental apartments in Paris are always in demand for this reason, so it’s important to plan well in advance where you want to be located to maximize your enjoyment of your time in the city.

London is another beautiful European city best served with a concentrated stay. Seeing the English countryside is so easy via the English railway system that a London apartment rental is advisable even if you end up spending one of your nights away. And London apartment rentals put everything on your agenda, from a visit to Shakespeare’s Globe to Big Ben to watching the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. Whichever European vacation you’ve dreamed of, you can find the perfect getaway to make your dream come true.
