Yes, you read it right. We visited 15 countries in Europe in 25 days. If you are planning to go to Europe, I’m sharing our itinerary but please take some caution that as the title says, our itinerary is jam-packed and may not be suitable for everyone.
If you are staying for a shorter time or want slow travel, feel free to use my Europe itinerary as well – just extend the number of days and limit the number of destinations. Nevertheless, I hope you find this useful for your next Europe trip!

Day 13 – back to Vienna ( “rest day”)
As we applied our visa thru the Austrian Embassy, we have to make Austria as our longest stay. When back in Vienna, we went shopping and I met my grade school friend while tasting the famous Austrian cake, Sachertorte.
@valerieblog not a fan of chocolate cake, but Austria’s Sachertorte is 😋😋😋 #viennese #austrianfood #austriancafe #cafesperl #vienna ♬ Beat Goes On – The All Seeing I
Day 14-15 : Bratislava, Slovakia and Budapest, Hungary
: Bratislava is just 1 1/2 hours from Vienna so it was a perfect day trip en route to Budapest.

Day 25: Milan, Italy
@valerieblog Because I dreamed that I was back in Milan. 🇮🇹 #Milanitaly #italianadventure #europetravel #traveltiktok ♬ original sound – DJ L BEATS
We had our flight early morning on Day 26th back to Manila via Abu Dhabi. Our schedule is always to go out by 8am and because it was summer, we can enjoy touring around even until 9pm. Between countries, we often check out by 11am and arrive in the afternoon. That will give us a few hours to enjoy the new city.
Was it tiring? Maybe it was the adrenaline and just the vibe but it was not tiring at all. But again, know yourself as a traveler as my husband and I though not hardcore intrepid travelers, we consider ourselves seasoned travelers.
