Tips

If you wish to extend your trip, consider adding extra days in Florence or Rome to explore lesser-known museums and enjoy more local cuisine. For a shorter trip, focus on highlights in Paris, Vienna, and Rome only, and reduce internal travel to cut down on overnight train journeys. Booking train tickets and accommodations in advance will save both time and money.
