nathan,

I have to agree with both Nigel and Toni. Some additional information would be helpful, and also you'll have to allow adequate travel times between your destinations (which are somewhat "geographically diverse").

Depending on your reasons for choosing each location, I'd probably drop Marseille and visit Bruges rather than Brussels (again, depending on your reasons for visiting).

I assume you're using open-jaw flights, into London and home from Paris?

pretty tough to comment without more information. What sort of things interest you? How are you travelling?
You have several days in areas where bang for buck is relatively low, for example Marseilles and Bern, yet no time in areas nearby where value is high, for example Antibes/Nice and Berner Oberland/Interlaken/Lauterbrunnen.

Have you factored in travel time between these locations? You have 38 days listed, with 1 for arrival, 1 for departure, and some travel time in between, you are looking at over 40 days. If you have that kind of time, great! I wish I did. I also agree that you need to look at your priorities- 1 day for Brussels, 1 for Madrid?

If I were doing it (and I wouldn't) I think Dublin/London/Amsterdam/Brussels/Paris/Bern/Rome/Cinque Terre/ Marseille/Barcelona/fly out Madrid makes a little more sense flow-wise.

Other than that, you have a lot of days and you are spending a fair amount of time in each place. I might take a few days from other places and spend 2 days each in Brussels, Bern, and Madrid. However, your itinerary is heavily weighted to major towns.
