Hi All,
I previously made a post regarding my Europe trip. I have revised and tightened my itinerary, and would like the advice of the community on my updated plan.
About us:

- Interests includes history, art, museums, culture, and food.
- Prefer more relaxed holidays rather than a touch-and-go one.
- Mid 60s parents tagging along, however departing on 4th November, after 20 Nights)

December
- 2-6 Dec Florence (5 Nights)
- 7-9 Venice (3 Nights)
- 10-13 Lucerne (4 Nights)
- 14-16 Wengen (3 Nights)
- 17-19 Salzburg (3 Nights)
- 19-21 Prague (3 Nights)
- 23-26 Vienna (4 Nights)
I recognise I am doing a lot of big cities, but i have planned for some day trips along the way :
- Montserrat, Toledo, Segovia, Cordoba in Spain
- Ostia Antica and Siena/Tuscany in Italy.
Right now I am scrutinising the last 2.5 weeks of my itinerary, starting from Lucerne. I am aware I am visiting 5 places across 17 nights and that trains from Wengen-Salzburg, Salzburg-Prague (via Lintz) takes quite a bit of time. My first thought would be to remove Salzburg and allocate more days toward Prague/Vienna? I am pretty happy with my destinations so far, but what changes would you recommend, or do you think it is well paced enough?
