Bonjour, friends! Our bags are packed (well, almost!), and we’re hopping the Atlantic Ocean this afternoon for our European adventure! It’s a bit of planes, trains, and automobiles, and we’re making our way through Switzerland, Northern Italy, and ending with a few days in Paris!
Mr. Sugarplum and I have been to a few of the stops, but we can’t wait to share all of it with the kids. They’ve definitely been bitten by the same travel bug, and apart from Greece (Jackson’s senior trip five years ago), this will be their first venture through Europe.
We’re starting in Switzerland, with overnight stays in Vitznau (the Lucerne area), Wengen (near Grindelwald and Interlaken), Zermatt, and Ascona (the Lugano area). Then we’ll cross over to Italy with stays on Lake Como (a bucket list hotel that’s been high on my wish list for years!), followed by Manarola in Cinque Terre.
From there we’ll fly to Paris for a few nights before heading back home! Amazing, right?! We’re staying in a mix of hotels, both luxury and boutique, and quant AirBNBs, and after months (and months!) of research, I can’t wait to see them all in person!
We have a few excursions and hikes planned, but y’all always have the best tips and advice!! Have you been to any of these spots?! Please share your faves and must-dos, sees, and eats in the comments! We’ll have a rental car in Switzerland for more freedom to explore, so we have some flexibility.
I’ll be sharing it all on Instagram Stories, so follow me HERE for the fun. I’ll also tag where we’re staying, eating, etc, so you can save if you’re planning a similar trip.
As for packing, I shared my Travel Essentials HERE, along with many of the styles I’m packing HERE.
I’ve got some great posts planned for you here on the blog, too, so keep checking in for lots of Summer inspiration! Ciao, amores!
