hi guys, so i have not finilised my itenary yet but i think to help me along the way in doing so id love to know from those who have been how long to stay in the countries im thinking of to get a good feel/ see of it and also to enjoy it!
so far so im thinking of staying 3-4 nights in london (travelling 1 day to manchester)
travelling for the day to lisbon
staying 2-3 nights in barcelona
being in madrid for the champions league final and possibly staying there 2-3 nights
ibiza 2-3 nights
then accross to monaco for 1-2 days
just 2 days in rome
upto germany munich or berlin for about 2-3 days
then to amsterdam for 3-5 days and finishing off in paris for about 2 days

if you could guide me as to weather or not these times are reasonable to see the main attractions and even if you could give me a few tips on what to see and what not to!

I have not been to spain so i cant suggest anything there. As for Monaco its better to stay in Nice and take a day trip to Monaco. I would suggest atleast 3 nights in rome, 3 in Munich or 4 in Berlin, 2 days in Amsterdam(depending on your intentions there) and atleast 4 days in Paris. For that little bit of time it seems a bit scattered, i would suggest sticking to around 3 countries instead of 6.

Honestly, I would say none of those are reasonable. In fact, a trip like this would leave you seeing next to nothing. Arriving in Lisbon for a day would give you a few HOURS to see everything you wanted to see before you had to get back on a night train to go to the next place. You should chip Germany and Holland and give that time to those other cities. I hughly recommend spending at least 3 days in each place you have listed, with the exception of Monaco, which can be a day trip if you want. It is incredibly expensive to stay in Monaco, so you probably don't want to spend the night there.
