Can you recommend an app/website where I can enter a list of cities (e.g. Vienna, Prague, Cologne, Warsaw, Barcelona, Paris, Dusseldorf, Bratislava, Budapest, Brussels) and get as a result the best order and how to visit them by public transportation? The area that should be covered is Europe. Depending on where train connections are available and how fast they are, sometimes covering 400 km air distance by train can be faster than 100 km with a slower connection, this means that tools for planning trips by car or bike relying on the road network aren't of much use.

1See travel.stackexchange.com/questions/174375/… and travel.stackexchange.com/questions/68363/… though I have no idea if any of the tools suggested support public transport (and some of them no longer work at all). The first question has an answer suggesting a manual method alternative.– jcaronCommented Jun 25 at 11:56

Is price any consideration? The prices especially for high speed trains are all over the place and can be much more expensive than slower trains.– HilmarCommented Jun 25 at 12:07

Price doesn't matter, top priority is a short travel time, second priority is to have as little changes as possible.– user3992979Commented Jun 26 at 12:43

What constitutes 'best' is rather subjective.
Rome2Rio allows you to create a multi-stop itinerary by means of public transport.

But this tool requires you to research the best order yourself before? Exactly this is what I want to avoid. Commented Jun 26 at 12:53

1Indeed. Rome2Rio doesn't give you the 'best' order. But, for a tool to do this for you, you first need to define what 'best' means. Commented Jun 26 at 17:24

For me, the fastest route is the best one. Additionally, I want to avoid switching trains/busses/planes. Price doesn't matter for me. Commented Jun 27 at 8:08

1With 10 cities, the number of potential orders of visiting them is 3628800. That's one hell of an optimisation problem. Commented Jun 27 at 12:35
