A great way to create lasting memories on a vacation is to have a relaxed and comfortable trip. Downtown rentals give visitors the opportunity to create their own living space while traveling abroad, and offer a spacious atmosphere for the whole family to enjoy. Here are two great European cities to explore from a downtown rental.
Paris, France
Downtown Paris, France offers visitors endless opportunities to soak in the Parisian way of life with cafes on every corner, some of the world's best museums and galleries, and iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower or the Arc de Triomphe. While staying in Paris rentals, guests get a sense of what it is like to live in the "City of Light", one of the most romantic cities in the world, and what it's like to walk out your front door onto the bustling streets of one of the fashion capitals of the world.
There are so many things to explore in the city of Paris, that odds are you probably won't get a chance to see everything. Montmartre is a colorful and lively area of Paris, located in the 18th arrondissement. There are many iconic landmarks in the district of Montmartre such as the Basilica of the Sacre Coeur, and the wildly famous Moulin Rouge. In the 1800s many artists came to live the bohemian lifestyle in Montmartre, such as Van Gogh, Matisse, Renoir, Degas, Picasso and many more. In Montmartre today, you can still see many artists gathering at the top of Montmartre Hill, painting and selling their latest masterpieces. The area is a cluster of shops, galleries, restaurants and cafes, and the energy is second to none in Paris. Visitors and locals alike enjoy leisurely strolls through the winding streets of Montmartre and the sweeping city views from the steps of the Sacre Coeur. A trip to Montmartre while visiting Paris will surely leave a lasting impression.
London, England
Staying in London's city center during your visit will give you easy access to many of its top attractions. London is a hotbed of activity, as indicated by the bustling streets and congested traffic. The London subway system, also known as the "tube", is the perfect way to get around and avoid all of the traffic, but be warned, the "tube" can get very crowded during rush hours. Some of the greatest London sights are scattered around the city center such as Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly Circus, Covent Gardens, British Parliament, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. A relatively new attraction in London, and not to be missed, is the London Eye. The London Eye was erected in 1999, stands more than 440 feet high, and is the largest Ferris wheel in Europe, providing some spectacular views of London. If you are visiting London for the first time and want to get swept up in the bustle of the city, there is no better place than Bond Street. Locals and visitors can share in the fun of London's busiest shopping district, and take in some of the most fashionable retail stores that London has to offer here.
