Besides the days listed, are you adding the days of travel? If not, take one day off for each of the locations.

I personally think you are tring to do way too much. If I'm understanding correctly, you want to visit nine cities in 15 days. Keep in mind that it can take up half a day or more every time you move, with checking out of a hotel, lugging luggage around, transportation, finding your new hotel and check in. I wouldn't even consider day trips, as each of the places you want to overnight have so much to offer.

I guess you could do this kind of trip, but I think it would be exhausting and you wouldn't really "see" much of anything .

If you truley want to travel like that, I would suggest a tour. At least you have someone to schlepp your luggage and get you around and into the main attractions quickly. So, if you really want an answer to your questions, you suggest that you are also traveling with a group, the logistics of what you are proposing are not very good IMHO.

My sons did 9 cities in 16 days with a group. Both loved it and really enjoyed the pace. If you like to keep moving and are more into seeing sites then it should work great.

I would exchange Nice and Luxembourg for Brugges. Nice falls into my "wouldn't bother to go back to list".

Hi w,

It is possible.

It is not recommended.

I did something similar when I was in my 20's.

I can't remember it at all other than being so exhausted at a train station somewhere that people thought I was stoned.

Tell us about your expedition when you get back.

Go ahead and do it. You might learn a hard lesson that will last an entire lifetime.

I guess it's ok if you want to look at historic sights but for me, it's to get a connection with the people more than seeing castles, caves or superior dining. But no way is the right way. It's your way, so go for it.
