Tips

If you wish to extend the trip, consider adding a full day in each capital to explore museums and neighborhoods at a slower pace, or include a day‑trip to the Danube Valley from Budapest. To shorten the itinerary, you could skip the day‑trip to Pompeii and focus on Naples, or replace Sevilla with a quicker visit to Madrid and fly directly from Italy to Spain, reducing travel time while still experiencing the highlights.
