I flew from Oakland International Airport through Norwegian Airlines since that was the most reasonable choice. In 2017, I branched out to London through San Francisco International Airport since that was the most efficient choice around then, at that point.
It's essential to truly look at different air terminals (tolerating basically for the time being that you're adequately close to them) at costs - they change subject to carrier and season. I use Google Flights to track down the best and most reasonable flights.

HOW LONG TO STAY:
We consumed 3 evenings here which was magnificent. Our days were jam-stuffed and we strolled 8-10 miles consistently regardless of what the new climate.
Since I had been to London a long time going before, I realized the transportation structure well and got an Oyster card when I showed up (this is an evident need in the event that you'll be taking the chamber/transports) which saved me a lot of cash since it has a regular cap.
I felt like I saw and did all that I expected to in the 3 days we had regardless of how there are gigantic things to see and do in London. I as of now have a synopsis creating for my next trip!

BELGIUM
Bruges, Belgium/Brugge, Belgium
Step by step bearings to GET THERE:
We booked a train from London to Brussels, however unfortunately hit terrible traffic and missed that train. We speaked with the assistance work area and fortunately got set up for the going with train that would be going to Brussels.
We were going to Ghent and fathomed that the stop in Lille, France was nearer to Ghent than Brussels would be, so we jumped off without even batting an eye in France! From here, it was around a short drive to the unpretentious neighborhood were remaining directly past Ghent.
I wouldn't propose weaving off in Lille on the off chance that you don't have transport coordinated. Kevin is from Ghent and his kin got us so we had dependable transportation when we got to Lille around evening.
↳TRAIN COST FOR 2 PEOPLE: ABOUT $166 USD
There are three fundamental metropolitan organizations around here of Belgium that by a wide margin most visit - Ghent, Bruges, and Brussels. Ghent being the more genuine of the three. We remained for 3 evenings, however since we showed up around evening time and left the morning of our last day, we really had 2 entire days to investigate. Reliant upon what time you show up/leave, 3 evenings could for certain be satisfactory.
Fundamentally promise you visit Bruges! It's a significant need city in Belgium. We besides went through a half-day in Ghent, however because of unpleasant climate and terrible points of view, it wasn't the best day. I'd a ton of need to see Brussels on my next trip there!

WHERE TO STAY:
As I alluded to above, Kevin is from Belgium, so we remained at his kin's home in Ghent to set aside money. On the off chance that we might have remained any place, I would have 100 percent booked an Airbnb in Bruges. I might have supportively spent the full 3 evenings there. Once more in any case, I didn't get to see Brussels, so that may be a spot you truly need to consume a few evenings.
Ghent is reasonable a more reasonable choice than Bruges or Brussels since it is a seriously genuine town with less the development business. On the off chance that you stay here, it's very simple to bounce on a 30 brief train ride for a trip to Bruges.

Visiting Belgium in February was fresh, dull, and blustery like a colossal piece of the year, yet it caused Bruges to feel basically more uncommon. The old, profoundly grounded structures facilitated with the channels going through the city make this city fit for a fantasy setting.

Paris
Paris Eiffel Tower Trocadero
Step by step rules to GET THERE:
From Ghent, we took the vehicle to get to the train station and took a train from Bruxelles-Midi to Paris Gare du Nord. It was a fundamental, early morning 1 hr brief ride that was particularly bewildering.
Really focus on the joke specialists at the station who will come up and request your name and address - fundamentally tell them "no merci" and they ought to let you be.
We purchased a public vehicle pass for $35 each figuring we would utilize it routinely and set aside cash, however utilized it on numerous occasions. In the event that you're adequately close to your Airbnb you can simply walk, or what we ought to have done: pay for a Uber.

HOW LONG TO STAY:
There is presumably an entire month of activities basically in Paris, yet we remained for 4 evenings. Since it was winter and biting cold, we felt a considerable amount improved with this time period. We spent a decent projection inside late memory inside warmed show passages: Musée de l'Orangerie and Musée d'Orsay.
I'd convey go for close to 4 evenings, perhaps 5 or 6 in case you need to join a trip to Versailles, Disneyland Paris, or Giverny.
Eiffel Tower Paris
The Lourve Paris France
WHERE TO STAY:
There are 20 Arrondissements in Paris. I'm no master in this, yet this collaborator from World in Paris will give you all that you require to be have a lot of experience with every one.
We remained in the sixth Arrondissment since it ought to be very gotten (in any case, for ladies alone around evening time - despite the way that I never suggest this) and smart/renowned. We venerated this area and felt it was acceptably key to stroll around the entirety of the main sights.
We took the vehicle to the Eiffel Tower and Metro to the Arc de Triomphe, yet were sufficiently close to stroll around the Louver, Luxembourg Gardens, and Notre Dame. Disregarding the way that, we might have obviously strolled around the Eiffel Tower, too since it was 2 miles (3.7km) away
In any case, the Airbnb we remained in was somewhat flawed, right now we didn't focus on the room! Anyway extended there is a toilet, bed, and shower in the room (our space's bathroom was down a dull, cold entrance), then, you'll be fine. Fortunately, the spot we leased isn't generally recorded on Airbnb, so you don't need to stress over out of the blue saving it.
