Don't do too much - don't do the "six cities in six days" thing, or your memories will be a blur of train stations and buses.
Pick two, or at most, three places you really, really want to go, and concentrate on them.
Try to live like the locals as much as possible - eat where they eat, hang where they hang, shop where they shop. Get a phrase book if you need to: don't be the ugly foreigner who hasn't learnt the language first. Most people will be friendly and helpful if you make an effort (yes, even the French!).
I found "Let's Go Europe" really helpful in planning itineries.

Get a Eurail pass and visit the countries you are most interested in. I really loved Scotland and Wales, France and Austria. The people were so friendly, especially in Wales and Scotland, where language is not such a problem. I stayed in B&Bs, which are relatively cheap and give you an opportunity to meet local residents.

get a euro rail pass...you can travel to any county and its all included in the price of the pass...about 300 dollars for a month pass...trust me...way cheaper than buying the tickets individually....stay in youth hostels they are cheap and usually clean and will serve one meal included in the price...map out your trip before you go...it will save you a lot of time and money... 3 weeks is plenty of time to see a lot of different things and places...i would try to do about 3 or 4 countries...depending on which ones you pick...England and France are pretty expensive...Germany and the Netherlands are more moderately priced...Italy and Spain are also a good choice...and if you have a chance defiantly go to Greece

Madrid, Paris, Lausanne, Geneva, are the best cities. Go to Frommers Guide to seeing Europe if you do not want to spend a fortune.
