For the 2024 Holiday season, I traveled to Europe. These are all the places I went and things I did. The total trip with air fare for 2 people for 16 days in 4 countries, including spending money, came to just over 13k.

Venice, Italy
Ive been to Italy before but never Venice. I always wanted to visit and the 2 days spent there was the perfect amount of time!
We also were able to book a direct flight from jfk to Venice. It was slightly more money but so worth the cost in cutting ...
This was a very quaint, easy to access hotel in mestre which is a short trsin ride away from Venice. Staying just outside of Venice made it easier to book transport to and from our hotel. Plus it was a short walk to the train
Hotel Roberta - Hotel Roberta
This tour was all day and absolutely PERFECT! It included a 30 minute gondola ride, an hour break and the boat rides to 2 other islands. I learned so much and had the whole day planned for me through the tour.
St Mark's, Doge's Palace, with Murano and Burano & Gondola Ride
You MUST go here for ciccetas and aperol spritz! I found this rec on reddit while in venice and it is def a spot i would seek out if i ever go again. So so good!
Ostaria dai Zemei
Paris, France
This was by far my favorite spot for tourism and sight seeing. I very much want to go back when the weather is meant to be more comfortable
The positives about this hotel was the price, the breakfast and the location. A very short walk to the metro and the louvre. The room we had wasnt the greatest and if we were there longer, we would have requested a different room but for 2 nights, it...
Hotel Louvre Bons Enfants
This was our first stop in paris and my only regret is not having more time before closing. There is so much to see! If you enjoy museums, this is a must book.
Louvre Museum
We did this tour Christmas morning and it was so informative! I loved being able to go up to the summit. Make sure you also see the eiffle tower at night when its lit up!
Eiffel Tower Elevator Tour
Dublin, Ireland
The sights of the cliffs of moher was just breathtaking
This was a great spot for many reasons! Modern accommodations, a bar on site, and close to the Jameson Distellery. The only drawback to this hotel is that it is a bit of a walk or a bus ride to get to the city.

This was so worth it in my opinion. It was truly an all day experience with a knowledgeable guide. Its close to a r hour bus drive to the cliffs and they are so beautiful. But you also see and do other things in Ennis which was decorated for the hol...
Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, Ennis Town & Bunratty Castle Day Tour
Def worth the trip here! We did a cocktail making class and get a recipe book to take home
Jameson Distillery Bow St.
London, UK
We spend new years in London and was the longest we stayed in any one city
We stayed in this hotel for the longest portion of our trip and it was definitely the best accommodations. It has a sister hotel across the way where there is a bar and breakfast buffet. Its in the middle of the museum district

Seeing Six: amazing.
Seeing Six in London: iconic.

Considering we stayed in London for the longest amount of time on our euro trip, getting the royal palaces membership was worth it. For 100£ for 2 people, it paid itself with our 2nd castle visit
