fly into London and out of Amsterdam, (can usually do air transat for around $1000 or less) Royal national Hotel, Russell Square is used by lots of tour companies, close enough to walk to many places, Lots of free museums and art galleries in London, get an Oyster card for travelling on the buses and underground, Tate Modern Museum, lots of markets, London Eye - take the Eurostar London to Paris (under 3 hours) then train to Amsterdam - try Go Euro for travel info https://www.goeuro.com/

air bnb for accommodations! And yes, do a multi city flight. In via London, out via Amsterdam. air transat seems to have the best prices. The train between A'dam and Paris is a nice ride!

For Paris I really recommend staying in Le Marais. Perfect location for exploring.
I stayed here in Amsterdam:

Definitely airbnb in London. Three of us stayed here for a week for less than the cost of a youth hostel: https://www.airbnb.ca/rooms/501837. In Amsterdam, we stayed at CitizenM Hotel; a very hip, modern and kind of quirky hotel. We loved it, but it's not for everybody, especially if you don't like Ikea style Euro design furnishings.

The Bridge Hotel in Amsterdam is great. I took Eurostar to Amsterdam from London- it was fantastic.

Plane between england and France or Netherlands may seem quicker, but when you add in minimum of 1 hour each to get to and from airports, plus - minimum of 2 hours at airport before departure, etc, you can now add at least 4 hours if not more to your travel time. The train generally leaves from and deposits you in the center of the city. if choosing train, best to book directly thru the Eurostar site

Your Dream Trip to London, Amsterdam, and Paris

Europe is calling, and you're ready to answer! With its rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning architecture, a trip to London, Amsterdam, and Paris is sure to be unforgettable. But planning a multi-city trip can be daunting, especially if you're on a budget.

That's why we've put together this guide to help you plan the perfect trip to these three amazing cities without breaking the bank.

Flights

The first step is to book your flights. The best way to find cheap flights is to be flexible with your travel dates and destinations. Consider flying into one city and out of another, or flying during the off-season.

Here are some tips for finding cheap flights:

  • Use a flight search engine like Google Flights or Skyscanner to compare prices from multiple airlines.
  • Sign up for email alerts from airlines to be notified of sales and discounts.
  • Consider flying on a budget airline like Ryanair or EasyJet.
  • Be willing to fly into smaller, less popular airports.

Accommodation

Once you've booked your flights, it's time to start thinking about where you're going to stay. There are a variety of accommodation options available in London, Amsterdam, and Paris, from hostels to luxury hotels.

If you're on a budget, hostels are a great option. Hostels offer dorm rooms with shared bathrooms, but they can also be a great way to meet other travelers.

If you're looking for something more private, there are plenty of affordable hotels available in these cities. You can also find apartments and vacation rentals on websites like Airbnb.
