How to plan a route
The classic "Europe" itinerary is 7-9 days: London and Windsor, Paris and Normandy, Rome and the Vatican. The "Asia" itinerary is 8-10 days: Beijing, Singapore, Hanoi, and a final day in Tokyo with a visit to the sumo arena. The "Middle East" long weekend includes Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, plus a day in Jordan or the Dead Sea. Always book your tickets to palaces and museums in advance, keep an eye on official events, and secure your seats at the earliest available gates.
Practical advice
The best months for Paris and Normandy are May and September. For Singapore and Hanoi, choose the shoulder season with lower humidity. For London and Windsor, summer brings palatial interiors. In high-security areas, such as the demilitarized zone, bring your passport and adhere to the dress code; at sacred sites, observe religious rules and daily routines. Passes and online tickets can help save time in lines.
