Hey guys, so I’m been on the forum for a few months and I’m finally going to visit the rest of Europe (I backpacked through the UK and Ireland for 2 weeks last year). Please check out my itinerary and tell me if I’ve allocated enough time for each city and where else I should consider, keep in mind I’m interested in architecture, especially cathedrals and castles, history, and ruins, plus in a bit of nature. I got a three month continuous Eurail pass for flexibility and I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to use it’s value. I have 17 unallocated days in case I want to stay somewhere longer and to account for any long trips. I won’t necessarily be staying in every city I’ve listed below, I will often be using a city as a base and taking day trips. Thanks!

Exciting trip, worthy destinations for sure, but I think you’re going to want to use a lot of those unallocated days.
Santiago de Compestela is a wonderful city, but you really can’t do it as a day trip out of Madrid. Try to take the time to put Salamanca, Astorga, Ourense in there somewhere along the way.
I doubt that a day trip could be made to Saint-Michel-Mont-Mercure out of Paris, but I could be wrong there. I would take a day off Florence and give it to Siena, but that’s just me.
Yea, a day trip to Santiago de Compestela means 2 night trains, I’ll defiantly look into your suggestions.
My mistake, it’s supposed to be Mont Saint Michel, which is north of Rennes, not Saint-Michel-Mont-Mercure.
Thanks!

Mont St. Michel is technically doable as a day trip from Paris. On your own, the bus schedule is meshed with the high speed train schedule from Paris. There are also numerous 1-day tours from Paris. In either case you spend 7 to 8 hours of a very long day on bus and/or train to spend a maximum of 7 hours at the Mont. Schedules don’t work out to add another stop by train or bus when you’re on your own, but some of the tours offer a lunch stop or another quick visit. Some of the tours are entirely by bus and some are by train and bus.
