I guess you like urban settings, eh?

There's a lot of those countries NOT in the urban cities. My feeling is rather one of "can one truly discern much difference between NYC or Chicago, London, Berlin, Krakow, Vienna, Munich after 6 PM?". Is your itinerary centered around the club scene in each country?

Is there a special reason why you head north at the beginning of your trip, and south at the end? Weather in Croatia and Budapest may already be warm in late April, while early June in the Baltic states gives you already an idea of the midnight sun.

Also the order of visiting Tallinn, Vilnius, and Riga looks odd. If you travel by train/bus, I think you should see them in the geographical order from west to east or vice versa.

Besides that, it's a pretty nice itinerary.

P.S. Try to get a low cost airline ticket for Amsterdam to Berlin. The train ride is unbelievably boring.

Well - I couldnlt bear to do 2 day sin each place and change hotels umpteen times. (You wil lost most of a dya each time you change cities - so you will have just 2 days in each.)

I would reorganize the trip to start in the south and gradually head north with the better weather. I would add you extra days to the favorite cities above - so you can do a couple of day trips.

And, if it were me, I would limit the trip to no more than 7/8 stops at the most. But then I don;t like to rush past everything, I like to get to know a place, see the main sites, do a trip into the countryside - and, most important, have time to sit in a cafe and just savor the experience.

(Europe isn;t going away - it's been there for thousands of years - and you'll have lots more chances to see it.)

I once made a trip like this. I have absolutely no memory of it.

Divide up your "7 days to spare" into the places already on your list. You pace is pretty break-neck and could use a little wiggle room imo.
