Seven countries in two weeks? That's quite a bit too much. You'll end up
seeing more, not less, if you cut down on travelling and limit yourself to
two or three cities.

will be the cheapest, but Prague is a bit out of the way, almost a
must!!! Does anyone have suggestions. We are traveling last two weeks
of May on a budget

It's not 2 days apiece, since you will have to spend about 8 days on the
train. Rome-Barcelona is a 24-hour trip. Prague-Rome is 20. Unless you have
a late flight, I also forsee an overnight in London just to get to Heathrow
in time.

I agree with the general consensus that this is too rushed. However, if
someone insisted on this schedule, flying could be quite cheap if
booking in advance- and this particular itinerary doesn't lend itself so
well to train- the exceptions being London to Paris, and maybe Paris to
Amsterdam.

do you know what dates you are planning on going to london because this year
it is closed for 8 weeks for cleaning and redecoration as it is every 10
years and it would be better to avoid these dates otherwise you will not be
able to get in as passes are only issued to residents

THANK YOU in Advance

You are not accounting enough for travel logistics. At this pace
you'll spend one day in each city and one day per city just travelling
on the train. Pick 3 cities, like London, Amsterdam, and Paris -
they're close.
