Weather Conditions During Our 8 Days In Europe
The weather was fairly rainy and gloomy in both Amsterdam as well as Paris. It would rain at the most unexpected times – bright and sunny at one moment, rainy and gloomy the next. But honestly that simply added to the romantic vibe and the clouds brought a charm to every photograph we clicked in that weather. Fortunately, because of the amazing connectivity of public transport, we were never left stranded in the rain and therefore we could still get to see and explore so much regardless of the weather.
Experiences That Made Our 8 Days In Europe Memorable
1. A Productive Travel Experience On Arrival
Our trip began from Amsterdam and our arrival in this city was followed by an awe-striking canal cruise in the evening. From the airport, we were escorted to our hotel and it was after freshening up that we left for the canal cruise. The day was well planned and we made the most of it by marveling at the wondrous sites while gliding through the water.

We took the train from Amsterdam to Paris where we reached at night and checked into a hotel there.

While we were on this cruise, we could see the entire Paris with the major landmarks and it was an unforgettable moment for us.

After Paris, we left for the city of Lucerne in Switzerland via rail. We reached there and checked into a hotel for an overnight stay.

5. The Awe-Striking Rhine Falls
We felt like we have come pretty close to nature when we saw the breathtaking Rhine Falls. The uproaring water was definitely a sight to behold. Since the waterfalls is considered to be the largest in the whole of Europe, we had to go witness its glory!
6. Ultimate Food Indulgence
During our trip, we tried multiple cuisines. If you are looking for something vegetarian, then you must look for Indian restaurants in Europe. Even though the Indian restaurants serve food that could be a bit heavy on your pocket. We went to some really amazing restaurants. Located close to the hotel in Paris was Paris Gare Du Nord Station and this is where we found many Indian restaurants. When we were in Amsterdam, we tried Chinese food at Yu Family Kitchen, which was quite good. We also went to MAdras Cafe in Paris for our dinner. The food was less pricey in Paris as compared to Zurich and Amsterdam.

7. Shopping Our Heart Out
In the city of Amsterdam, the huge variety of souvenirs will simply leave you confused. You can get them fromMAin Square Amsterdam, especially during the afternoon. In Paris, however, be careful of rip-offs selling near the Eiffel Tower, as you can get the same things for less than half the price in town and away from the tower. While you’re in Zurich, you’ll get to choose from an exciting range of Swiss watches and you’ll Paris for the variety of perfumes.
Different Hotels We Stayed At During Our 8 Days In Europe
We stayed in The Kings Court Hotel in Amsterdam, Paris Louis Blanc in Paris and The Guest House in Zurich. All three hotels were in the vicinity of metro stations and it was very easy to commute to any place. Staff was warm and the rooms were spick and span. We received complimentary breakfast which was both delicious and nutritious. All the three hotels had a buffet with a variety of options to choose from for both vegetarians as well as non-vegetarians.
