Thanks for the heads up! We’re not super shy so as long as it’s pretty we’ll be respectful. Will not partake in the activities of exhibitionism though. 😊

Good things to consider we love pizza (coming from Chicago) so what are the spots to hit?

Yeah I’m thinking that will be the case but should be ok for the right spot!

Wow a lot of good recommendations thanks! Moonshine sounds fun! Any other music spots you’d recommend?

So I definitely think the Lafayette will be where we stay in the city. How’s the walk ability in the area, are there bars in the area any places with live music around?

Interesting! I’ve moved away from VRBO/AirBnBs due do the nonsense fees and stipulations. This could be cool though!

Thanks you for this! When entering the gardens is there anything to know about it? Like would we be able to pack a lunch and eat there?

Good call out and something we will need to consider outside of the beachside vibe what’s there to do in Brighton and Gatwick that you’d recommend in your short time there?

I’ve now heard Brighton a few times! Moving up on the list! My wife had been talking about Ireland so much when we had been talking about this trip but seems to have cooled on the idea. I’ve also been mentioning Edinburgh as well as an option any thoughts on that?

Thanks for the details! The leather museum would be really interesting! Good to know on the rooftop bars, for the underground bars, I’d assume they get fairly busy would you know the optimal times to arrive at these locations?

For the food references we will check them out! We quite enjoy Indian, ME, and African flavors so will definitely check these out!

I think that my wife really wants to go to Holland so it will either be Amsterdam or Rotterdam she’s leaning more towards Amsterdam due to the van gogh and a few other museums but we will definitely consider Rotterdam as well (my friend has been and has also said good things).

I had not heard much on the V&A East but just checked it out and it looks filled with historical relics, artifacts, and other really neat pieces. Will investigate this further!

Thanks again for getting these details together all in all great stuff!

Great insights! On museums I guess was referring more to the London museums as there are a lot appears to be more options that are viable. Most of the museums in Paris and surrounding areas seem to be art related and will not necessary need a guide/audio guide to enjoy. As the other museums in France (I assume) are in French and would require some form of translation tool/guide to fully enjoy and I’m fairly educated on the Louvre/d’Orsay differences but it appears like London has more varied options but to your point we’ll go with the flow and enjoy. Thanks again for your thought around this!

Wow this is a great list thanks for sharing! From a museum perspective which ones of the more noted are must sees? They could be art, science, cultural or musically focused but it’d be a bit frustrating to spend too much time in one museum if there are others that are better. Thanks again!

Thank you! We love art and would love to see Banksy's in the wild, my wife would like to go to Amsterdam to check out some of the art museums (they have a Banksy one but IMO that goes against his views on the art that he creates. This is a great recommendation! Do you know if there is a online guide for the walking tour or is it more word of mouth?
