I plan on backpacking Europe in May from the 7-31 and this is the itinerary I have come up with: 8-10 in Amsterdam, 11th in Brussels, 13-15 in Paris, 16-18 in Barcelona, 19-21 in Rome, 22-25 in Greece, 26-27 in Prague, 28-30 in Berlin...and then I would fly back home to the USA on the 31. Alright, so I'm not sure about the travel times between these places and my only concern is that I don't want to end up spending half of my days wholly on trains. I will say that I would plan on taking the night trains and sleeping on them; I would prefer my schedule be full and hectic than to have any down time. I've thought about replacing Greece with London and inserting it into my schedule accordingly but perhaps attempting to take the ferry to either would require too much time and I should just stay on the mainland? Any cities I'm overlooking? Thanks!
Thanks for the replies so far! Greece is out of the way, but yeah I think I'm going to go for it. Also, I will say I'm most excited for the night life in each city and I'm going to try and just see the major attractions,maybe take a day tour and then a day to myself. I was just thinking, would it perhaps work better for me to go east first- ams.-berl.- prague-greece-rome-barcelona-paris-brussels ??
 
You would definetly spend alot of time on trains! But, sounds super fun! Also, consider going to Krakow, Poland. Its not too far from Prague, an hour plane ride. Its such a beautiful place, anybody whos been there will tell you :)
Have fun!!!!
