After spending almost two years sporadically planning and budgeting, we finally booked our first trip to Europe. In less than a month, Jason and I will be on our way overseas to spend 3 Weeks in Europe. Check out where we’re going and some of our plans for the trip.

Here’s our breakdown:

Copenhagen, Denmark: September 18th – September 24

Our first stop in Europe is Copenhagen where we plan to ride a few rides at Tivoli Gardens, see some of the amazing modern art museums, take a day trip to Malmo, Sweden and check out a castle.

Most excited to see: The modern art museums
Most excited to eat: Local Smørrebrød (dark breads, meats & cheeses)

Amsterdam, Netherlands: September 24 – September 29

Our next stop is Amsterdam where were are looking forward to touring the canals, drinking at strange bars, eating sandwiches out of a vending machines and biking everywhere.

Most excited to see: The canals
Most excited to eat: Stroopwafel (thin, caramel flavored cookie)

London, England: September 29 – October 4

We are lucky enough know some lovely people in London so we will be staying with a friend and meeting up with plenty of others. We also plan to ride the London Eye, see the sights around town and eat pub food until we physically must stop.

Most excited to see: The classic London sights along the Thames River
Most excited to eat: Indian food

Bournemouth, England: (Day Trip) October 4 – October 5

Our last day in the UK will be spent with our friend in his hometown of Bournemouth. A seaside town located about 2 hours south of London, we are looking forward to a relaxing night with friends.

Most excited to see: Our friends & their lovely house.
Most excited to eat: A nice home cooked meal.

Paris, France: October 5 – October 9

For the last leg of our trip we will be spending it lounging around Paris, seeing the sights, eating too much and taking our time outside of museums.

Most excited to see: The city streets at night
Most excited to eat: Macarons

I can’t wait to leave for the trip but I’m also incredibly nervous. As an excessive planner, I had hoped to have more things marked off my to do list with only a few weeks left before departure.

I should have some other posts planned for the next few weeks and during our trip about various topics and I will get started posting about Europe when we return home.

If you have any tips for any of the cities we’re visiting or just Europe travel in general, let me know!
