I will be backpacking for about 30 days from mid-June to mid-July.  My trip must end in Germany then Sweden to attend weddings.  I already know I am trying to pack too much into a short time…but I can’t seem to make the list any shorter.

Please review my itinerary and make suggestions!!

Amsterdam        3
Paris                3
Madrid              3
Lisbon              3 
Seville             3
Barcelona         2  
Skarham          4

Is your time in Skarhamn, Sweden, for the wedding included in this 30 days?

Way way too much in too short of a time, regardless if the wedding is included in that time frame or not.

I agree this there is too much in the itinerary but what do you suggest that I take out??

I have never been to Spain but here it’s very nice.  But do you really need to visit 4 locations?  Perhaps you can cut your Spanish itinerary a bit.

I have been to Spain twice already but I can’t possibly cut it out of my itinerary.  I just love it so much.

I am trying to add a week to my plan instead.  We’ll see….

Thank you!

Why bother going if you’re only spending 2 days per city?  Total waste IMO.  Takes me 2 days just to straighten the colla’ & sharpen up me linebeard
