Frankfurt- Baden Baden - Strasbourg- Europa Park- Lucerne- Stuttgart- Frankfurt

Hi All,

I'm planning 18 days round trip starting from Frankfurt- Baden Baden - Strasbourg- Europa Park- Lucerne- Stuttgart- Frankfurt . I would like to know if i should cancel Strasbourg from the route and stay more in Lucerne?

What do you guys think?

Regards,
Nada

Depends on your tastes and preferences. What do you like (cities, views, museums, old towns, countryside, mountains)? How are you travelling (car, train)?
You probably have some "Sprösslinge" (offspring) with you as you have included Europa Park. So that is probably un-cancel-able.
I would cancel Baden-Baden, little to see there.
Luzern is an outlier, but if you want a fix of mountains, you need to go to the Alps.
But, there is plenty more to see in Alsace (Colmar, wine villages), and on the other side of the Rhine (Freiburg-im-Breisgau, Black Forest).
You need to prioritise according to your preferences, and stay at least 2 nights, probably 3 in each place. 18/3 = maximum 6 places.

This is a very reasonable itinerary for 18 days. Baden-Baden to Strasbourg is about an hour to drive, so is Strasbourg to Europa Park. You should at least spend a short visit to the old town of Strasbourg.
