A Day in Paris

Aerial view of France at night

Bonjour! Paris, the City of Love. Located in the north of France, Europe, the city is capital and largest in the country. Whether it's the magnificent Eiffel Tower or famous Mona Lisa (painting), Paris keeps it all in its bucket. So as a day tourist, what is all we can do? Lets find out!

Mona Lisa

Morning: Café de Flore is one of the oldest and prestigious coffeehouses in Paris. Known for its rich flavoured Espresso, the cafe also has a lot of French delicacies that you can eat in the morning. They're a bit pricey just to give an idea about the cost. What to do now? Check out The Louvre, one of the renowned museums and home to Mona Lisa among many others. 

Shimmering Eiffel at night

Afternoon: The best afternoon to spend will be on top of Eiffel Tower while having a panoramic view of the city and it's architecture. Symbolizing love, Eiffel tower was opened to public in 1989. Once you buy the ticket, you can use the lift to get to the first and second floor. The highest floor has a separate lift that you can use to have a better view of the city. 

Later, spend time shopping in one of the fashion capitals of Europe. Le Bon Marché on the 7th arrondissement isn't far enough from Eiffel. The department store has got some really high end places to shop that you can fancy.

Evening: Time for a show! Paradis Latin Cabaret is a famous theatre and known for its shows. The show includes some circus acts like trapeze, magic, hoopers and some dances. Please note that this show is uncensored which involves nudity so parental guidance is highly advised. 

Night: Time to stay awake! Head to Eiffel Tower again and make sure you're there 10 minutes to midnight. At 12, Eiffel shimmers and sparkles for five minutes which is a spectacular opportunity to end your night with. Once done, you're free to go home and sleep or to enjoy the extravagant night life that Paris offers..

A Day in Brighton

Brighton is a famous seaside city in county of East Sussex, England, and is famous for being the hippest city in the United Kingdom. Brighton is also known as the gay capital of the U.K. for holding the largest LGBT community in the country. 

What's there to do? Let's find out...

Morning: Check out the Diva Espresso & Sandwich Bar located at James St. for their perfect espresso and budget friendly delicious English breakfast. The cafe is run by Maria and Benji who are courteous, polite and know how to give you a homely feel. Once done, get around to visit a few antique shops (British antiques are lovely!). Afterwards, visit the Brighton Pier. Also known as the Palace Pier, it's a great place to enjoy rides, eat crepes and ice-creams, make money in the slot machines and a lot more.

Afternoon: Brighton Wheel is a Ferris wheel situated quite close to the pier. The ferris wheel will give you an aerial view of the city on one side and sea on the other. Since Brighton gives you feel of a typical English town with a fashionable culture, I'd suggest you to spend quite a lavish time on shopping. A hub of narrow lanes called The Lanes will keep you occupied with the displays to attract you. Lanes are also a great place to explore your interest in music and books. 

Evening: Brighton is full of live theatres, pubs and nightclubs and other places known for drama and/or music. Since I fancy Jazz, my personal favourite place is Casablanca, truly known for its live acts of Jazz.

Night: Interesting time in Brighton a day keeps the boredom away. After the spectacular time you had in Brighton, it's time for Travel Expresso to wish you good night. We hope it helps you pack your bags to visit the city sometime soon. Sweet dreams!!
