To extend your trip, consider adding more days in Budapest or Munich to explore nearby countryside and day trip options such as the Danube Bend or Neuschwanstein Castle, respectively. For a shorter trip, you can reduce time in London to two days by focusing only on the most iconic sights and take direct flights to Budapest. Alternatively, combining Vienna and Salzburg into fewer days synergizes your itinerary while retaining highlights.
