In my opinion, you have far too many places for such a short trip; you would never be able to get off the train or plane.

My suggestion would be to limit yourself to Italy. Fly into Rome and out of Venice to save yourself some time. I’ve not been to Podere Liguria; what is its attraction? Florence or Cinque Terre (very scenic) are popular destinations in that area.

If your idea of fun and photography can be accomplished entirely in train stations and airports and on planes and trains, then I THINK you can do this.

1. Paris (cheap flight arrive here)
2. Train to Venice
3. Florence
4. Cinque Terre
5. Rome
5. Barcelona
6. Paris (Back with train)

I will only spend 1 day at Paris
Go to Eiffel Tower & National Museum..

I think you’re still a little rushed. I would cut Barcelona and either spend more time in Paris or add the time to Italy. Can you find a reasonably priced open jaw flight, flying into Paris and back out of Rome? Overnight trains (or cheap flights) between Paris and Venice, Barcelona or maybe Rome will help a little with this, but it still seems like you spend an awfully high percentage of your time “in transit.”

It’s doable, but I don’t think I would do it… the train from Paris -> Venice is 15 hours and Barcelona -> Paris is another 13 hours. This is a lot and I would really carefully consider it. If you want to fly by the seat of your pants, go ahead. But it might get to be very rushed and expensive. I would, at the very least, skip Barcelona. How are you getting from Rome to Barcelona?

Serious?
If you have 8 days just pick ONE COUNTRY. Maybe 2 if they border one another or are a very quick flight away.

It’ll still be rushed, but you can do Paris and some of Italy. I definitely wouldn’t try to fit any of southern France (i.e. Nice) or Barcelona in. They’re just too far apart. Good luck though Smile
