Tips

To shorten the trip, consider removing one day each from Paris, Tuscany, and Prague, focusing on the flagship attractions only. For a more relaxed pace, add an extra night in Rome to explore the lesser‑known Trastevere neighbourhood, or spend a full day in Munich’s surrounding Bavarian towns such as Dachau or the fairy‑tale Neuschwanstein Castle. Adjusting accommodations to include a mix of hotels and budget-friendly guesthouses can also help balance comfort and cost.
