Criticize the route
We fly to Cologne and fly out of it. Available for 8 nights.
Cologne 2 nights (with departure to Dusseldorf)
Bruges 1 N.
Paris 2 N.
Amsterdam 2 n. (Keukenhof)
Cologne 1 n.
The route was compiled based on the cost of moving between cities.
I look forward to recommendations. Thank you in advance.

I would leave Paris for later, taking into account the transfers, these two nights of yours are a complete zero in Paris. Move in and out, but don't look at the city itself.
Change to Brussels at least, but as for me personally, there are a lot of very nice and worthy towns (in BeniLuxe). Like Ghent, Antwerp, Delft, Volendam, Edam, etc.
Cologne is not worth 3 nights (unless taking into account the fact that the day of arrival and departure), but you can safely lay a maximum of a day (or even half a day) on the city itself. In most cases, only the cathedral is worthy of admiration. I would add Ghent to Brussels and Bruges.
There are a lot of interesting places near Amster (in the direction of Keukenhof even) - Delft !!! Leiden. You can stop by the cheese exchange in Alkmaar (Saturday, google it).

Kuukenhof, it is open, if I'm not mistaken, from the end of March,
until the middle (not sure) of May. It makes sense to look at the website, what exhibitions are there, and when what blooms.
Bruges - you have an overnight stay there - go to the coast, Knokke-Heist, this is considered a famous resort.
Nothing special - calm and clean, but since you are from the road, then breathe in the sea air to recuperate.
From Paris to Amsterdam, stop at Brussels on the way
anyway, on the way, take a walk for at least half a day, it's worth it, the city is beautiful. If you stop by and want to look at the "pissing boy", then keep in mind that he is still quite small, I once looked for 2 hours, and asked repeatedly, and at the same time passed by a certain number of times :-). Now this is easier if you have Internet on your mobile phone. Or a map of the city, with sights, this is for all cities, so as not to waste time.

In Bruges you can rent bicycles, drive to the coast, and back; there are bike paths. Bicycles are not very good in the center of Amsterdam, as there are a lot of people.
For Amsterdam, it makes sense to take a combined ticket - public transport + museums, it will be cheaper.
Why do you have Kukenhof in brackets, this is not Amsterdam, the park itself is located near Lisse.

I’m afraid with such a mega-saturated route (if they still leave Paris, all the more so), it’s impossible to ride a bike to the sea from Bruges))) Here you can only have time to run and swim in Bruges. But this Knokke didn’t work for us at all))) Windmill, chilly ... At the end of July. Who was in the Baltic Sea, can safely not go to Knokke))) Sorry that I criticize the advice))) Well, I'm just my 5 kopecks, I don’t pretend to be the ultimate truth)
And about the pissing boy, don't waste your time on him at all))) This is somewhere at the end (well, ok, in the middle) of the Brussels mast list. It will be on the city for two full days, then it’s worth it. And if you don’t specifically look for 4-5 hours) Again, my opinion. I felt like an idiot standing in front of this...monument and the people who are almost fighting to jump up and be captured with the kid ;-)

I suggest something like this:
Cologne 2 nights (with departure to Dusseldorf)
see Brussels on the way, things in the luggage room, for example.
Bruges 2 nights (with departure to Ghent)
Amsterdam 3 N. (Keukenhof) + differences like Delft, Leiden, Edam, Volendam, Marken, mills ... Choose for yourself.
Cologne 1 n.

According to Keukenhof here http://www.keukenhof.nl/en/829/indoor-flower-shows.html

If you leave Paris (although I strongly advise against it), then reduce Cologne, give up Düsseldorf. Otherwise, some crossings and you have to break down again and move on. You change a lot of hotels for a week in total (I understand that you are on public transport, besides).

Many thanks to everyone who responded for advice. The route is still in development, except for the ticket to Cologne. We'll keep thinking.

I thought it was necessary to spend 3 nights in the cities of Germany, but we are doing a German visa.
аватар hatinka
If you have already decided that a German visa is an important condition for you, this is where you should start.
In my offer, without Paris, there are still 3 nights in Cologne, and Holland 3. This is the case when you go anyway to the Germans, since the days are the same, but entering the Schengen through Germany.
