Adding multiple close cities and extra travel days quickly leads to an overcommitted schedule that leaves little actual time to explore. Trying to squeeze in beloved spots without knowing how to make the logistics work makes travelers worry their trip asks too much of them.

Struggling to narrow down my itinerary.source ↗

While we love active travel days, we don't want to overcommit ourselves, either.source ↗

I would LOVE to add 2 nights in Seville, but don't know how to make that work. I already worry this itinerary asks too much due to all the travel days.source ↗

We were initially thinking about visiting Vienna and its Christmas Market, and we then also decided to visit Budapest and Bratislava since they are relatively close.source ↗

Also, since we're spending a day in Hallstat, we also though about ending our trip in Munich to visit the Christmas Market and maaayybe some other spots.source ↗

But our fear now is that we won't have much time to visit other spots due to time constraints.source ↗
