• Can I book this package if I already have my international flights?

  Yes. Under Customize and Book, select No for Add Outbound & Return Flights if you’re arranging your own flights into Paris and out of Rome. Review the quote to confirm the Paris-to-Rome flight and the hotels you want. Enter the date you actually land in Paris, which may be the day after you depart on an overnight flight.

• How do I travel from Paris to Rome, and is baggage included?

  The package connects Paris and Rome by air. Check the airline, airports, departure time, and fare before booking. Carry-on and checked baggage allowances vary by airline and fare, and seat selection may cost extra. Compare the total cost with the luggage you plan to bring and allow time for hotel checkout, airport travel, and check-in.

• Are airport transfers included in Paris and Rome?

  The Essential sample itinerary does not list airport transfers. You can add available transfers while customizing your trip or arrange your own transportation. Match each transfer to the airport and flight shown on your itinerary, especially for the flight from Paris to Rome.

• Are three nights in each city enough, and can I extend my stay?

  Three nights in each city give you time to see several highlights. Keep arrival day flexible and treat your Paris-to-Rome flight day as a travel day. If you want a day trip, more museum time, or a slower pace, you can add nights in either city when customizing the package.

• What should I prioritize on a first visit to Paris?

  Pair the Eiffel Tower with a walk along the Seine, then choose between the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay based on the art you most want to see. Save time for Notre-Dame and the Latin Quarter or for a visit to Sacré-Cœur in Montmartre. Check opening days and ticket options before setting your schedule.

• What should I prioritize on a first visit to Rome?

  Set aside one sightseeing block for the Colosseum and Roman Forum and another for Vatican City. You can group the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, and Spanish Steps into a walk through the historic center. Check which attractions require separate tickets and plan the rest of the day around any timed entries.

• Can I choose my hotels in Paris and Rome?

  Yes. Choose from the hotels available for your dates and review room options, location, and amenities before booking. In Paris, consider a hotel near a Métro station for easier trips across the city. In Rome, a hotel near the sights you most want to see can save time. Some properties may collect local taxes or fees at the hotel.

• Are guided tours included, and can I add activities?

  Guided tours are optional with the Essential package. Add available activities while customizing, and check whether each tour includes admission. For an itinerary with guided activities, compare Experience Paris and Rome. For upgraded hotels, private activities, and private airport transfers, see Premium Paris and Rome Experience.

• When is a good time to visit Paris and Rome on the same trip?

  April and May or September and October are good starting points if you want mild sightseeing weather and generally lighter crowds than in summer. For a summer trip, consider scheduling outdoor sights such as the Roman Forum earlier in the day. Compare your dates in the package builder, since flight and hotel prices vary.

• How do I get a price and book the Paris and Rome by Air package?

  Open the package page, choose whether to include international flights, then enter your arrival date, nights in each city, and traveler details. Select View Price to review the available flights and hotels and add any activities or transfers you want. Check the full itinerary and final price before booking.
