Help with itinerary, Italy, Salzburg, Amsterdam, Portugal
This will be my second trip to Europe. Will be going May 4-25. The first week, my mom will be with me and is already reserved. Realize Rome gets a little rushed, but this was the only way she could see Venice as well.
I have a million guide books that I am pouring through, but still trying to narrow down a plan. Just looking for any suggestions and input.
I enjoy moving through different cities, but don't want to be too rushed. Will be travelling by myself the last 2 weeks and staying in hostels

Have 7 more nights. Am thinking my last 4 in Lisbon and fly out from there. One of those days would be a day trip to Sintra. So that leaves 3 nights.
I would like some beach time. I live in Florida and have seen lots of gorgeous beaches. Would Navarre be a good choice or the Algarave? Also wondering if end of May will be too cold for the beach. There just seems to be so many great cities in Portugal, having a difficult time deciding.
