Super prelim itenerary

[fiddlemysticks]

First time backpaking and soloing so just wanted to see how feasable some thought this was....

Was gonna take three week and start in Berlin sometime in June...

From there it would be
Amsterdam
Brussels
Paris
Barcelona
Madrid

There are probably places in between I'd go but I have no clue right now. Forgive me for the vaugeness as I just got the idea for all of the this time without too much research...which will come.

Any advice as to if this is possible is much appreciated. I'm new to all this...patience people.

If you have this setup: you only need to put the days behind them, that you think you need in each town.

For that would be something like this:

Berlin (3-4 days)
Amsterdam 3 days
Brussels (or maybe rather Brugge in my case) - 2 days
Paris (4 days)
Barcelona (3 days)
and Madrid (4 days, with at least a daytrip to Toledo, and if possible to Segovia)

You also want to have some time to travel. It will depend on the mode of transport how fast you can arrive in a new city, but the only ones that are really close to eachother are Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris. (although with the new AVE connection Barcelona and Madrid are not that far apart, but it's an expensive connection, flights are cheaper! but take longer.)

In total you would have some 19 days in the cities, and 3 complete days to travels. (For the cities that are close to eachother you can take an early or a late train, so you can still spend most of the day in one of the two cities.)

I would recommend to take a look at flights between Paris and Barcelona (and forget Ryanair for this route, as they fly from Beauvais to Girona, and not like they tell you from Paris to Barcelona - check Vueling and Iberia for this route.)
