    Visiting Paris rn coming from a Car dependent city in Canada.

    We shouldn’t need cars. We should build our cities to encourage walking and reliable public transport to go farther.

    Literally all the major structure in Paris are within short walk + bus ride away from each other. If you got good legs you could probably walk to most of these places. The Louvre, the Eiffel tower, the River, Alexander III bridge, etc.

    All with little shops, cafés, and bakeries everywhere if you need a bite to eat.

        Oh Amsterdam looks incredible. There’s a number of European cities I want to visit including Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, London etc.

        Unfortunately, our plan just includes Paris, then a train ride to Zürich where we’ll stay a couple more days before heading home from there. We were planning to have a day trip in Brussels but sadly that didn’t go through.
