I know that sounds very weird, but my two euro compass has been the very best purchase I have ever made since I've been here! Lots of times you pop up out of a metro and have no idea which direction is which and you lose tons of time getting lost. So even if you're just coming for a couple days, a...

Never take it for granted any good advice, especially when in Paris.
Last year, I took my sister and niece for a 4 days visit to Paris.
First 3 days awesome. Last day, while travelling by metro train to Paris Noord to take Thaly's train, I was pickpocketed, mastermindedly.
I lost USD 1,800 wh...

Paris on New Years eve is wonderful, though I'm sure its generally pretty great everywhere else in Europe. The popular thing to do is get dinner reservations for 9/10 PM.

If you plan on being on Paris in July, shoot for July 13th and 14th. We were here at this time in 2007 and had so much fun. The party starts on the night of the 13th, Bastille Eve. We made a mistake and went to the Bastille around midnight, but the main festivities there were just ending. But there ...

When traveling through Western Europe, the train is the absolute hands down best way to get around. Be sure to get a Eurail pass for your travels, as you will save TONS of money this way. Plus, it's a great way to get out and enjoy the country. It's one thing to be in these awesome cities, but th...

I love Paris. I really do. Even after being pickpocketed. It happened in the hustle and bustle of the St Michel station and my bank gave me hassles for months about reimbursement on my debit card because, in their opinion, I was grossly negligent for failing to exercise due care over the card. And t...

I have just checked for you:
to arrive in Paris, in the morning (9AM), you need to take a train in Rome at 18:40 the night before (from "ROMA TERMINI SP S I P").
