Passport application normally takes half a month, and visa processing takes about 15 working days. May basically enters the peak tourist season in Europe. Summer vacation is the busiest time in Europe, followed by large-scale exhibitions and activities (such as the European Cup). As long as you stagger the May 1 holiday in May, it will basically not be much more expensive. May is the right time to go. The recommended route is 8-10 days for Germany, France, the Netherlands and the Benelux countries, or 10 days for France, Italy, and Switzerland. A little longer: 12 days in the six countries of Germany, France, Austria, Italy and Switzerland.
