I am planning a 3 week trip to Europe in late Spring. I want to fly into London, then travel to Paris, Amsterdam, Romantic Road to Munich, then Salzburg Venice, Florence and finally Rome and fly home from Rome. My rough plan is 6 days London and Paris, 4 days Amsterdam (visiting friends, roughly 10 days for the rest of the trip. Is this doable by train or should a plan a flight to save time somewhere in the middle? Thanks for any replys

You can do all of it by train but maybe better to do the Romantic Road [after all it IS a Road :)] by rental car. Train everywhere except Amsterdam to Frankfurt by train, rent a car and drive the Romantic Road, turning in the car at Munich. But one problem is that you have yourself doing 6 destinations in the last 10 days, this is about 1.5 days per destination, with travel times that gives you very little time in any of those destinations, technically "doable" but maybe makes the last 10 days more rushed than you would enjoy since you're spending more time inside trains and at train stations than seeing what you came to see. Your 4 days in Amsterdam costs you (I guess you're seeing friends). If you reduce Amsterdam by one day and omit the Romantic Road and go Amsterdam to Munich by train or air, you get some days back. Just some ideas to help make your trip the way you would want it to be.
