First time in Central Europe for 3 weeks in May

Posted by on

I've got 3 weeks to spend traveling in Europe from mid-May to June. Flying in to London and back to the US from Frankfurt. I'm spending 2 days in London and need to end up in Frankfurt, the rest is unplanned.

The places I'm interested in are: Prague/Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Croatian Coast and Italy. I know that sounds like a lot, but I doubt I'll want to spend more than 2 days in any one city. As for Italy, I'd really just like to visit one town (not Rome) for 2 days. If the Croatian Coast is too hard to fit in, I'll just do it next visit.

Ideas?

From London Gatwick or Stansted, fly EasyJet to Prague, then train to Vienna, then train to Venice, then ferry to Split, then fly EasyJet to Geneva, train to somewhere (popular Berner Oberland?), then train to Frankfurt. That seems doable in 3 weeks.

Thanks. Looks like I may need to pass on Split. I'm seeing a 14-15 hour bus or ferry from Venice, or a long, expensive flight.

Just take into account that if you want to spend 2 days somewhere, you need 3 nights there. Changing locations uses up 2-3 hours PLUS actual train travel time, more for flights.

Croatia would be too difficult to include given your wish list.
Substitute Switzerland with the Austrian Tirol at Innsbruck.

Fly in to London (3 nights)
Fly to Rome (3 nights)
Train to Florence (2 night)
Train to Venice (2 nights)
Train to Innsbruck (1 night)
Train to Vienna (3 nights)
Train to Prague (3 nights)
Train to Munich (2 nights)
Train to Frankfurt (1 night)
