Flying in and out of copenhagen - good idea?

I am a 25/Male solo traveler leaving in late June to go from the U.S. to Europe for about 25 days and backpack around. I found an awesome rate in and out of copenhagen. The only problem is, I am meeting friends in Barcelona and Ibiza Spain near the tail end of the trip. Is getting all the way back up to Copenhagen going to be a hassle? I will have a Eurail pass.

Also, I would like to go to Bruge, but other than that I've seen most of the Northern Europe highlights and am most interested in Spain, Croatia, and that area. Is the roughly 400 - 500 USD in savings worth having to trek back and forth to Copenhagen? Any advice or towns I should look to hit along the way? Thanks!

Why have you tagged this the Netherlands when it doesn't even feature in your list of destinations?

It's a very, very long way by train from Copenhagen to Barcelona or Croatia. At least 2-3 days travel each way.

Not worth it in my opinion.

Not worth it. Copenhagen is simply too far removed from where you want to go.

My guess is the OP didn't realize Copenhagen is in Denmark. Perhaps s/he was thinking it's in the Netherlands, which is not far from Brugge. But in either case it's still very far from Barcelona so unless it's free, you are wise to skip this deal.

Sorry nicklama, I see now you are a "he." Didn't mean to imply you are a he/she.
