Honeymooning mid-late October 2020 to these 3 places.

3 days in London
5 Days in Paris (1 day in Normandy)

Any recommendations on what / what not to do?

Eat at Mr. Porter’s in Amsterdam. Definitely see the Van Gogh Museum. Go to quieter coffee shops (you can ask your concierge or chill-looking head shop workers for advice), then maybe head to the zoo. Later, get stoned and have a 90 minute foot massage at one of the Asian places that are everywhere. See the church built inside a house (I forget the Dutch name). Take a normal canal cruise or take the smoke boat. The Rikjsmuseum is a must do but gets very crowded- maybe go early in the morning.

London- three days isn’t long, so what are your interests? There are great bookstores open after most museums and attractions close (Daunt, Persephone, etc.). If you do Sunday Roast, do it at Maze Grill. The British Museum, V&A, Tower of London, and National Gallery are the must do museums, IMHO. The Tower opens at 9, the others usually open at 10. Best Fish and Chips is at the Mayfair Chippy (next to Hyde Park, so maybe do a walk through there before, eat lunch, then head to a museum). The Clink Museum is very cheesy, but I really enjoyed it. Southbank Center, with tons of food trucks is nearby, as is a Nando’s. You could do a Tower/Clink morning, quick lunch, then head to another museum (most are open late one day a week). I find the Eye imminently skippable- crowded and, in an emergency, you could get stuck on it for hours.

Paris- Go to the Army Museum as one of your first stops. It provides a fantastic overview, in English, of French History. The Rodin Museum is nearby. Do the D’Orsay and Louvre on nights they’re open late, if possible.
La Mere Catherine is down the street from Sacre Couer and has delicious bone marrow (rest of the menu is a pass) and live music at night. Consider visiting the Erotic Museum after, as it makes for a very walkable journey.
