In 14 days....
nice Italy,
I think you need to invest a bit more in your question.

How much of Italy and Morocco do you plan to see? How do you plan to travel between the named locations?

Welcome to Fodors. Please clarify -- " . . . incorporate nice Italy and Morocco " Do you mean Nice (France) and Italy, or 'a nice part of Italy'?

But in any case (eliminating Nice) you have listed places in Four countries on two continents. Now -- IF you meant exactly 1) Prague, 2) Zermatt, 3) one city in Italy, and 4) one city in Morocco - that is still a lot in just 2 weeks. For instance travel from Prague to Zermatt by the very fastest route (flying to Geneva and train from there) takes 9+ hours door to door. So an entire day shot. If you took just trains - you're talking 16+ hours just in transit.

So you need to put some more 'meat' on the bones of your questions so we can help a bit more. Where in Italy? Is it Nice or just 'nice'? ;) Where in Morocco?

Some things to consider:
• Morocco by itself is 'worth' 7 to 14 days.
One city in Italy might be OK with just 2 or 3 nights, but if you want to see say Rome, and/or Venice and/or Florence and/or someplace else - you'd be using up most of your two weeks right there.
• If you mean 14 days total for the entire trip Home to Home that's about 11.5 days on the ground after flights/formalities. Then each travel day between destinations eats up part of a day so with just 4 city destinations you'd have a net of about 2 to 2.5 days free in each.

Monaco or Morocco? Both have issues but Monaco would be easier. Agree with everybody else that's too much either way.

OOH -- you may be on to something there. I hadn't thought that Morocco could maybe mean Monaco. That makes a lot more sense combined with Nice and Italy :) Stil too much in two weeks really -- hopefully the OP will come back soon and clear up some of out muddle . . .

hi. Deniserowe.

My suggestion is to go to commercial tour websites like cosmos, globus, rick steves, trafalgar, and see what their 14 day europe tours cover. You can learn a lot even if you decide not to buy a tour package. I know of none that include prague or morocco.

bear in mind that independent travelers usually cannot keep pace with a commercial tour.

If you just want to go "somewhere" in Italy, you could visit Milan or Turin on the way from Zermatt to Nice.

Tagged for Morocco so she must mean it.

Not necessarily. I suspect the moderators did the tagging after the fact. The first two times I saw the thread there were no tags at all.

If you say it, it must be so.

Gosh.

Your trip is possible only if you discount taking any time to view the sights. Why bother?

Sassafrass Jul 7th, 2021 01:25 AM

Not much time for places requiring so much travel time between. Does 14 days include travel time to/from Europe? When are you planning to go? Where is your departure airport?
What interests you about the places you chose?
Have you been to Europe before?

I don't think the OP is really interested in our responses -- or maybe she forgot she registered and posted??

<<I don't think the OP is really interested in our responses -- or maybe she forgot she registered and posted??>>

Perhaps common sense prevailed.
