For travelers re: European trip
Posted on 7/17/14 at 3:25 pm

How many places from Barcelona, Marseilles/Cannes, Venice, Budapest, Vienna, Prague, Munich/Berlin would I legitimately be able to do in 14 days and still enjoy?
Order of preference? Any on others that should be on a list?

I would pick 6 and go with that, 5 if your travel days to and from Europe is included in that 14. I've never been to any of those except Venice and it's incredible, but you can see it in a day.

Either do a Mediterranean trip or a northern Europe trip. Don't try to do both.

you would literally spend your entire trip traveling. Its a vacation not a race.
I would pick two cities and go between the two, with a stop at a smaller spot in the middle.
I would group them like this

Barcelona, Marseilles/Cannes

Venice, Budapest, Vienna

Prague, Munich/Berlin
you could pair vienna with prague really easily.

If you plan too much you will get burnt out
You want time to relax, id say 4-6

never been and not sure when I'll be able to go back in the future. So I want to see as much as possible, but not miss out by traveling too much.
Order of preference or any others not listed that are doable?

Last year I flew to Prague and was there for 4 days, drove to Vienna and stayed there 2 days, then drove to Budapest and stayed there 3 days. 11 day trip altogether

They all suck IMO
Everything you need can be found here in the states, those cities are just inferior versions of US cities

I'd say 3 places would be comfortable, 4 places would be pushing it slightly but would still be doable if they are geographically close to each other.
Are you planning to travel via train or plane? That will play a big role in the decision process.

Understandable but sacrifices have to be made. Traveling on a plane, tain, bus etc for half your trip is a waste.

how old are you? you can get back if you prioritize your life.
My 2nd trip to europe, we did 25 days and 6 cities. we thought that was too much.
There is no way you can see it all. Don't even try. Try to actually sample what life is like there, and you can't do that if you are running the entire time.
Plus once you get down to it, a church is a church, a museum is a museum and a castle is a castle. They aren't really different country to country, or city to city. But what is different is the food, the markets, the bars, the coffee, just walking around, talking to people. You can't get that if you rush around.

definitely the bars. And the beer. the beer is surprisingly different place to place.

I went Amsterdam (3 days),Berlin(1), Prague(2), munich(2), interlaken(3), marseille(2), nice(2), and Barcelona (3) recently and I wouldn't have visited Europe any other way. I got to see pretty much everything and sure it was tireing but it was awesome and you can rest when you get home. Just get a eurail pass and do it that way. Id reccomend getting a first class pass as it's much more comfortable than second class and it's not much more expensive
ETA: to those people saying you can't experience any of the stuff in a few days at each city are wrong. If you don't waste time and appreciate and use your time wisely you can get a better experience than only going to a few cities. Hope I helped!

My thought as well. You don't have to do everything in one trip. I understand that some people enjoy that, but it's just not my idea of a good trip.

Whatever you do, avoid Malaysian airlines
