We are planning another trip to Europe. In 2018, we visited London, Paris and Amsterdam. This year we are limiting ourselves to two primary locations: London and Rome. We plan to fly return to Heathrow from Phoenix then take a short flight to Rome possibly trying to return to Heathrow from Rome in time to catch our flight back to Phoenix.
We're doing London again both to revisit my cousin and his wife as well as do a couple of things we'd not had the chance to do two years ago. Most of our time will be spent in Rome with day trips to various destinations. Note we prefer to stay in one place and do day trips when possible.
As far as a day trip out of London, I've been thinking it would be nice to see the white chalk cliffs on the southern coast. There are tours to Brighton/Seven Sisters and to Dover/Canterbury. Anyone have recommendations for one vs the other? We are very active hikers/walkers if it makes a difference.
We got to many things in London last time but because the weather was flawless, only one museum: the Tate Modern. There are so many great museums that we'd like to do another one maybe two and would welcome suggestions as to the cream of the crop.
We plan to take in a show and might be open to another day trip (we've been to Stonehenge and Bath.)
While in Rome, we're considering a day tour to Venice via high speed rail. It looks like a long day but I think it would be worth it. Neither of us have been to Venice. We will definitely go to Pompeii and do all the main sights in Rome itself but other suggestions (Tuscany or Amalfi coast perhaps?) are welcome. Thanks. We will have perhaps 5 full days in London and 9 full days in Rome.
