If you need to shorten the itinerary, combine Budapest and Vienna into a single “Austro‑Hungarian” day and skip the afternoon of Day 6 in Naples, focusing only on the pizza experience. Efficient early‑morning train or flight connections will maximize sightseeing time while keeping travel fatigue low.
