One of my most popular posts was How to See Seven Cities in Europe on One 12,500 Mile Award.

In that post from June, I explained how to use the 23-hour layover trick to see seven (or more) cities on one United award for only 12,500 miles plus taxes (of $155 in this case.)

I am in Rome, heading to Brussels tomorrow, so I am already done with three of my goals for the week.

• party in Zagreb–check!
  
• cliff jump in Dubrovnik–check! (see below)
• see the Colosseum in Rome–check!
• hang out at the Grand-Place in Brussels
• check out a fjord in Oslo
• get into trouble in Amsterdam
• and get to Munich in time for the end of Oktoberfest.

Here’s the route I’ll be taking visually:

I was apprehensive when I started this week of travel that it would be exhausting and I would see nothing except airports and hotels. I didn’t want this to just be about checking countries off a list to impress people later. I really wanted to do the best one to three activities in each place that I could fit into 23 hours.

So far Dubrovnik and Rome have been complete successes, and I have high hopes of having an over-topped waffle tomorrow in Brussels. I may be exhausted in a few days, but for now, I am very happy with this crazy award.

If you have any tips for fun things that I can do in one day in each city, please share them in the comments.

Here’s a video of my cliff jumping today at sunset. I apologize for the videographers’ shrieks. There’s just something about a man cliff jumping apparently.
