" Super underwhelming and not as overnice - looking as the pictures make it out to be . "

Last month, I had a blast visiting Amsterdam, London, and Paris. I loved everything from a canal dinner cruise to climbing up to the top of St. Paul’s Cathedral to roaming around the Palais Garnier (the opera house that inspiredThePhantom of the Opera).
