I’d suggest a Rick Steve’s book Europe Through the Back Door. He has great itinerary suggestions. We’ve used his books at least five different times on trips to Europe and really enjoyed his recommendations. Enjoy!

London and Paris for sure. Depending on how much time you have and what time of year I would say Italy has a ton to see but you can spend two weeks in that country alone. South of France is great too in the warmer months.

I guess it depends on what activities you enjoy. Paris has a lot more culture, art and museums. London has is more metropolitan and bridges lol. It really depends. I personally enjoy Paris more. I also live in NY and London to me seems like just another version of that.

This is so helpful, thanks everyone!

Bergen Norway! And Copenhagen

London is great! A lot to do as a family and different things for different people. Portugal (Lisbon is where I went) is another place that I could Rec too. I’ve been to 10 cities in Europe and these 2 stood out to me.

Paris is a place where there’s something for literally everyone. Even if you’re not into art, it’s probably the best food and drink city in the world. Love that place. Very few cities where you can get a Michelin Star lunch and then incredible 5-10 euro street food for dinner. Always hit fancy restaurants for lunch where possible - huge savings
