Does anyone know any music schools in Rome, Italy, Paris, France, and Vienna, Austria?

Please review my trip itinerary, is it too ambitious for a 31 day time frame?

• Hi! I'm planning a little trip for August!! About 31 days in Europe. I'm going to be traveling via Europe Rail, with the Europe Global Pass, here's my plan!! Is it too ambitious? Is this doable? 1st: FRANCE - Nice → Lyon → Paris 2nd: Belgium - Brussels 3rd: Netherlands - Amsterdam 4th: Germany - Berlin 5th: Czech Republic - Prague 6th: Austria - Vienna 7th: Italy - Rome → Florence 8th: Spain - Barcelona --> Madrid 9th: Portugal and then come back home. I need to know if this is too ambitious, also is there any major cities im missing out??

• Answer:

  Well, if you want to spend more than half your trip on the train, you might make it. Won't get to see or do diddly, however. At that rate, you might as well save your money. You could easily spend a week in Paris and still not really know the city. Ditto for so many other places on your trip. You could spend a year on this itinerary, and end up hardly experiencing the real flavor of these places. Pick just a few places! Friends just came back from 6 weeks in Europe. They landed in Vienna, drove to Prague, Budapest, Cracow, back to Vienna. The most interesting stories they have to tell come from their experiences in smaller towns, where they strolled around the village/town, found small local restaurants, met interesting people, etc. They went to the opera and a symphony in Vienna, a ballet, a concert, etc, saw the Salt Mines outside Cracow, etc. Explore, get to really see and experience a place, not zip through it on a train!
