Is this Itinerary feasible?

Time at the beginning seems tight but gently broad. With all the things in Paris that you aren't seeing in exchange for a visit to a champagne tour and a couple of quick visits to chateaux you are missing a huge amount there.

At the end you seem to have pushed the gas pedal all the way through the floor.

Was that the plan?

Amsterdam could be done by train to Salzburg but flying will be faster and by golly you need faster. Many many permutations possible by train with 3 to 5 connections, between 10 and a half and eleven hours.

This is an extremely fast paced trip. It's certainly possible, but IMO it's too many places. I think I counted 10 different places in 16 nights in Europe. Which means you're spending more time travelling from place to place than you're actually spending in those places.

Personally, I'd scale back on the number of moves and allocate those days and nights in the remaining places. You're really shortchanging Paris, Rome, and Naples/AC (pick one or the other; you don't have time for both).

How are you getting to Naples?

A'dam to Salzburg isn't difficult. Either fly (will require connection) or train. Or fly direct to Munich and then train to Salzburg. The train option will take all day.

You need to make use of a map to understand the distances you are covering. Amsterdam to Salzburg would definitely by airplane. Salzburg to Naples - how will you do this? Way too fast.

Hi All, thanks for your valuable suggestions. If the itinerary looks packed, the do you think I should skip Italy entirely and cover more of France like the Provence region.
@ Emily - I was planning to travel to Naples from Salzburg via night train.

Thanks

Here is some info on the Amsterdam to Salzburg leg---https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Amsterdam-Airport-AMS/Salzburg

For the time you have, I think you are trying to do too many locations.

Did you go to Europe in 2016 as your earlier post hints at? Did you go to all the places you listed then? How did that work out? That planned itinerary looks as frenetic as this one. If it worked for you, that is great.

If your air has not yet been purchased you may want to look at flying into Amsterdam and working your way toward Rome to fly out from there for home. Austria looks too far out of the way to reasonably work into your time frame and leave you time to actually visit a destination as opposed to just be passing through heading for the next destination

If the itinerary looks packed, the do you think I should skip Italy entirely and cover more of France like the Provence region.

The overall advice here is to reduce the number of stops, not to exchange some for others. My guess is that you did not take the European trip in 2016 that you'd planned, because you are now considering some of the same places.

Your trip is 17 days in Europe. The first and last are non-days. That leaves 15 days, of which about half are travel days, with little time for sightseeing. And it's an exhausting pace. The September portion seems feasible, though not particularly desirable for most. October is more problematic. It will take you about 1/2 day to get to Halstatt. It's about 3 hours on the train, but then you have to take the ferry across the lake to the old town, presumably what you want to visit. Using rome2rio.com the only way to get from there to Zell Am See is a 1 hour taxi ride to a train or a 1.5 hour ride all the way. Aside from the expense, that doesn't give you much time in Hallstatt. For Zell Am See to Naples bahn.com shows a minimum 11 hour train journey with 2 transfers, arriving in Naples about 8 pm.

Thanks All,

Based on the mixed reviews that I have received on my itinerary, I have reworked it to the below.

3 Days Amsterdam
3 Days Paris
4 Days Provence
5 Days Rome and Amalfi

I am confident about Amsterdam and Paris but can you help me how and what to cover in Provence in 4 days.

Thanks and sorry for the trouble.

No trouble.

That's what we do. We love travel.

I like this plan, much more relaxed. I suggest you take a look at where your travel days fall and whether you have enough time around them to see the sights you want to see in the places you are visiting. Even if you are flying between locations you lose half a day.

So your revised plan might be more like this depending on where you want to put the travel days:

22 Sept arrive Amsterdam

(2 full days in Amsterdam)

25 Sept travel to Paris

(3 full days in Paris)

29 Sept travel to Provence

(3 full days in Provence)

3 Oct travel to Rome

(3 full days in Rome)

7 Oct travel home from Rome

If you want more time in the places you are visiting you might have to cut one more location.
