UK Trip Planning: London, Scotland and One European Stop in 14 Nights?

[saifee]

Hi everyone,

For an Australian traveller visiting the UK and Europe for the first time, would it be realistic to include London, Edinburgh and one European city within a 14-night trip?

A possible itinerary would be:

• 5 nights in London
• 3 nights in Edinburgh
• 4 nights in Paris, Amsterdam or Rome
• Remaining time for flights and transfers

My concern is that changing hotels, travelling between airports and taking short-haul flights could make the trip feel rushed.

Would experienced travellers recommend keeping the holiday to London and Scotland, or is adding one European destination still comfortable?

I would also be interested to hear which European city offers the easiest connection from the UK for a first-time visitor.

Thanks for any practical advice.
