The real beauty of Europe lies in its roots, its real gems are found by walking that extra mile, and real love is found while opening up to new experiences.

We were pretty much decided on which cities we wanted to visit in Europe. I got to know about TravelTriangle via an internet advertisement. After submitting a query on their page, I soon got a call from a TravelTriangle destination expert to understand my requirements. I selected the package given to me by Travel Troops Global Pvt Ltd.
We were chuffed to bits as the journey of our lifetime was taking shape. To spend time on a trip to Europe with my wife was a blessing in itself.
Paris: The city of love
Honeymoon Trip To Europe : Finding Love In The Bohemian Heartland
We boarded the flight from New Delhi, and arrived in Paris at 4 pm. We took a cab from the airport and checked into the centrally located Hotel Gaston. Afterwards, we decided to go out at 7 pm and visit the Arc De Triomphe. Although it was quite cold, the romantic spark of the city was still alive.
Visiting historical monuments in Paris
Next morning, we were planned for a trip to Versailles Palace and Grounds. We were told to assemble at Louvre, from where we would board a bus and commence our trip to Versailles. With the help of an audio guide in our preferred language, we completed the sightseeing tour.
Post lunch, we visited the Aerospace Museum, which surprisingly didn’t have many people on that day. The museum was near the airport, so by the time we reached back to the hotel it was already 7 pm. Afterwards, we had dinner outside and called it a night.

The next day of our trip to Europe was spent entirely in Disneyland. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day as we spent an entire day roaming around the park visiting rides, buying souvenirs, and movie theme based attractions. We left Disneyland at 7 pm for dinner, and subsequently went back to the hotel for the night. Yet another item checked off our bucket list. Our favorite ride was The Buzzsaw .

Witnessing Mona Lisa and the Eiffel Tower
The next day, we started with a visit to the Louvre Museum. We visited the Museum to see the world’s most famous painting- the Mona Lisa. We spent around 3 hours at the Louvre seeing various works of art before leaving for lunch.
Post lunch, we took a romantic Seine River Cruise that took us around Paris, in a charming boat. As the cruise ended, it was evening and onwards we went to visit Eiffel Tower.
Our final day in Paris ended with a romantic dinner at the top of the Eiffel Tower. At times like these on our trip to Europe, I felt frozen in time.
Useful travel tips for Paris
- Louvre Museum is huge. It’s better to buy a guided audio tour or you’ll get lost in the maze of hallways and miss the artworks you want to see.
- I felt one day wasn’t enough to explore Disneyland. There were two parts to Disneyland and each part had 40-50 rides. It is advisable that people should stay at the Disneyland Hotel for one night.
- Dispelled a myth that Disneyland is for kids. In fact, it has a lot to offer in terms of rides and attractions for adults.
- The food on our trip to Europe, and especially in Paris, was delicious. Despite being vegetarians, we enjoyed the traditional sweet delicacies of France like croissants and doughnuts. Although, the food in Europe mostly consists of various types of meat, my wife and I decided to have only continental food on our trip to Europe.

Sightseeing in Rome
DO NOT Leave For Europe Without Packing These 8 Things
This day on our trip to Europe, we went on a sightseeing tour in Rome. We started at 11 am by visiting the Colosseum and Roman Forum. We took a break for lunch, and then continued by visiting the Pantheon and the Trevi fountain till the evening.
Sitting at the Trevi fountain just after sunset and soaking in the vibrant atmosphere was just incredible. After having dinner at yet another street restaurant near Trevi, we returned back to the hotel and called it a night.
Seeing the Pope in Vatican City!
On the penultimate day of our trip to Europe, we visited the Vatican City. We took a metro rail to Vatican and arrived at 8.30 am. When we arrived, at the church right next to the St Peter’s Basilica, we found out that the Pope will be addressing the mass at 9 am. So with a stroke of luck, we got a rare sighting of the Holy Father. Afterwards, the guide accompanied us to the Vatican Museum.
Post lunch, we visited the stunning Castle St Angelo built just outside the Vatican city. Our guide also told us that we could visit a restaurant at the top of the castle. Surprisingly, not many tourists knew about that cafe making it a nice secluded and peaceful spot. In the evening, we returned to Rome and celebrated my birthday. My wife arranged a cake for me to make my birthday all the more special. We ended the day with champagne and dinner.
The next day, we had breakfast and checked out of the hotel in Rome. We left for the airport at noon and took our flight to back India at 3 pm.
Europe Tour: The True Essence Of Europe Captured In A Span Of 8 Days
Hotel Review
I felt that the Hotel Villa San Lorenzo wasn’t modern in it’s amenities. The building, rooms, and amenities had an outdated feel to it Also, the hotel was located far away from all the touristy locations. Although, it had a bus stop, but the bus services stopped at 10pm and after that the only option left was taking a cab.
My rating: 3/5
Useful tips for people traveling to Rome
- Have delicious and economical food at the food stalls right in-front of the Colosseum and the Trevi fountain.
- Buy a Roma pass that gives free access to public transport and free into two museums for 72-hours. The pass costs EUR 38.50 per person for an adult.
- Take a guided tour of all the major places of Rome like Colosseum, St Peter’s Basilica, and the Pantheon because otherwise it becomes hard to cover the best aspects of these famous monuments.
- Buy skip-the-line passes to visit St Peter’s Basilica, Colosseum, and other famous places in Rome or else you’ll end up wasting two or three hours in the entrance queue.
- Wanted to visit the Catacombs in Paris and Rome, but due to the lack of time we couldn’t. It is highly recommended for history lovers to visit this place on their trip to Europe.
What began as idea to cover the famous places of Europe on a honeymoon with my wife, became a reality and exceeded my expectations thanks to TravelTriangle. A major portion of our bucket-lists as a traveler got covered in this epic trip to Europe.
