Paris or London? Make your mind clear
When you can’t decide if you want to go to Paris or London, the only thing to do is evaluate the pros and cons of each city! In my opinion, I think that if you stay a lot in Paris, you can also plan some days in London.
Anyway, here’s the thing, if you can’t choose. just think about how different these cities are and admit to yourself where you would like to be more.
Paris or London? Pros and cons of each one
- Traffic. If you don’t want to live the chaos of the big city starting from its transports, go to Paris. London is full of cars and buses!
- Night-life. If you want to live the night, you have to choose Paris. That is because lots of pubs, in London, must close at 11 pm!
- Parks. They both are amazing, at this point. London has the wonderful Hyde Park, where you can relax or play with squirrels. Paris has lots of parks that are attractions themselves.
- Costs. If you think about food, Paris is a little more expensive than London. If you want to go clubbing or to a concert, London is way more expensive than Paris!
- Cultural life. If you want to breathe culture on each day of your holiday, I can’t help you choose. It depends on what you like. Both cities have important museums. If you love theatre and musicals, London must be the final choice.
- Architectures. If you prefer a Victorian style, go to London. If you would like to admire the Haussmanian style, go to Paris.
Yes, it’s true. It is very difficult to decide if it is better to go to London or Paris. Mostly if you think that “when a man is tired of London, he’s tired of life” (Samuel Johnson).
Common downsides
Even if you can’t decide where to go first, pay attention to their common downsides. They both are very expensive to visit. This means you have to book your flight in advance. Plus, you need to be careful when booking your accommodation. And if you want to pay less for your accommodation or apartment, you will spend more on transports.
Whether you are going to London or Paris, a downside is a climate. The weather forecasts for these two cities are clear. Bring with you an umbrella and dress in layers regardless of the season!
