Definately definately do Barcelona its amazin! Probably the best city I've been to (outside England obviously!) Barcelona has everythin you need to party/sitesee

What kind of trip are you lookin for anyway? You wantin to see the sights or you just goin on a massive piss up? If its the latter then you might as well buy a burberry cap and a hoody and stay in England!

For a good mixture of things to do, things to see, and general partying/nightlife I would go to Barcelona, London, Paris, Sheffield, Amsterdam (forget Brussels I've been twice recently with my old uni and it is shite, there is litterally nothing to see/do unless you wanna visit the EU buildings! which is what we did. I've heard Antwerp is the place to go in Belgium for nightlife), no idea bout Germany but it would probably be Munich as others have said, Vienna has lots to see and is just half an hours train journey from Bratislava (Slovakia) which looked really nice (only spent half a day there mind), nothing to see/do in Ljubljana (Slovenia) but is very picturesque, in Italy there's loads of places like Florance (basically all art museums etc), Rome (smelly and dirty but hey, its got a big stadium where they used to throw Christians to the lions in the good old days!) In East Europe definately do Prague and Budapest (never been to Poland but I heard Krakow is very good to visit if you wanted to do Poland) The Balkans (Croatia etc) used to be where all the rich kids from our school used to go to before all the wars so there must be some thing down there! Supposed to have some of the most beautiful land scape in the world (and Dubrovnik looks really cool from the back of their bank notes!)

Did I miss anything out? Nothing of any interest in Scandanavia so wouldn't reccomend goin there. You could get an EasyJet to Ibiza too!

Yeah my dad swears by (so do his mates) it, never been myself but he bought a flat there and he's a cheap SOB (sorry gran.... ) so it must be good. Apparently very classy, the culture capital if you will.

But since your family is there they can probebly tell you better than me actually...

I can probably tell you. My whole family lives throughout Poland. I don't think there is a stone unturned by me.

Actually do you know what the nightlife with respect to clubs is like in Krakow?

Wait, how much time do you have to do all of this? You may want to consider travelling less and spending more time in some of these cities soaking up the culture, seeing all the sites worthy of seeing, getting drunk, etc. Because in some of the places you mentioned (ahem ... Vienna ), I could spend at least a solid week or two just to see maybe half the things I would want to see.

PS: While I share your sentiments on churches, the crypt underneath stephansdom is badass (and cathedrals really are architecturally beautiful)!

Shameless plug for my most recent DKos diary entry:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/6/2/135347/1579#2

And no, Josh, I haven't updated my profile there yet. Frankly I don't know what much to say - my favorite color is blue? I like long rides on cool summer days? I hate profiles. Christ, I haven't updated my profile here since, well, never.

Oh well, I'll think of somethin' soon.....

Concerning Vienna...Mi casa es su casa
I can also exclusively introduce you to the less know parts of the city: Bars, Clubs, Jewish Restaurants/synagogues and infamous casinos

occrider: I donno at what age you attended the AIS but I simply have to tell you the girls leaving that school are invading vienna's night life every week presenting their smokin' hottness

Middle/High school. They were all beastly when I was there. Except for this one half Japanese/Finnish girl who's only one of the hottest girls I've seen in my lifetime. My knees still quiver thinking about her 8 years later. Or maybe I'm taking a page from misteropus' book and it's the early onset of osteoperosis.

Quivering knees from a long-ago cutie is NOT, I repeat NOT early signs of osteoporosis, damnit!

Your knees really quiver?

Wait, don't answer that...
