Skip the flight to Ibiza, spend only 2 nights in central CH and
spread the rest of the days around.

Re: 2 month interrail trip

"Paris (4 nights) ---- -Go to Parc Asterix theme park-
Madrid (2 nights) ---- -Go to a bullfight-"

If you're not particularly interested in art, I'd recommend Seville and
Grenada instead of Madrid.

"Barcelona (2 nights) ---- -Watch a match at the Nou Camp-"

I could spend a week in Barcelona. The sights are pretty spread out,
so I'd recommend at least 3 nights.

"FLY TO IBIZA
Ibiza (7 nights)"

Do you really want 7 nights there? If you want to party you can do
that in most of the cities you listed.

"FLY TO BARCELONA
Barcelona (1 night)
Nice (2 nights) - visit Monaco?"

Monaco can be done as a day trip. There really isn't much there and
it's ridiculously expensive. All the backpackers go to Nice, but you
might consider Marseille instead - a much more interesting city IMO.

"Lausanne, Sion and Interlaken (7 nights)"

Interlaken is the best place in Europe for adventure sports, but it's
very expensive. They have everything - canyoning, bungee jumping,
paragliding, skydiving, "hydrospeeding"... If you just want to see
mountains or do basic sports like whitewater rafting, the Alps are
cheaper and less touristed in Austria and Slovenia. In general, you
might want to cut this down a few days - three days in one place in
Switzerland should be enough.

"Venice (2 nights)
Rome (3 nights)
Florence (3 nights) - visit Pisa?
Milan (2 nights)"

Skip Milan unless you're interested in fashion or design. Pisa really
isn't worth going out of your way for - I'd recommend Siena instead.
If you don't like art, consider skipping Florence.

"Vienna (3 nights)"

Consider Salzburg also.

"Budapest (3 nights) ---- -Use Budapest baths-
Krakow (2 nights) ---- -Visit Auswitch concentration camp-
Prague (3 nights)
Berlin (3 nights)"

I think Berlin is the kind of city that doesn't reward a short stay.
It's a fascinating place, but you really have to get beyond the surface
to get a lot out of it. The "sights" are disappointing - Brandenburg
gate, Reichstag, etc. The neighborhoods and history are incredible,
and there's a thriving creative scene. Spend 5+ days or leave it out.

"Copenhagen (2 nights)"

I'd skip it and spend the extra time in other places.

"Amsterdam (3 nights)"

If you're a non-smoker and you don't like art, you'll wonder what all
the fuss was about.

"Brussels (2 nights)"

Do a day trip to Brugge from Brussels.

Wrong time of year- if you want to watch FC Barcelona you'll only see
a friendly at best. European club soccer season ends mid-May, starts
Aug/Sept. The Spain national team are playing 2 World Cup qualifiers in
early June, but might well be in another city (Just checked FIFA- don't
give the venue yet).

I agree with the other poster, that's a waste of time and money. There
are ferries, and do you really need 7 nights? You could go to lots of
places in Spain or S France.

A few thoughts:

19 destinations = 18 days wholly or partially taken up by
travelling. This is almost 1/3 of your time.

It sounds better to me to have the time in Ibiza at the end,
the weather will be better a you will certainly need a rest.

Pisa is a bit of a one string fiddle, after you've seen the
tower what then?

A few thoughts:

19 destinations = 18 days wholly or partially taken up by
travelling. This is almost 1/3 of your time.

It sounds better to me to have the time in Ibiza at the end,
the weather will be better a you will certainly need a rest.

Pisa is a bit of a one string fiddle, after you've seen the
tower what then?
