London - lots to see, lots of history (London eye, Westminster abbey, parliment buildings and big ben, tower of London,) plus lots of places to shop , the national gallery (free!), buckingham palace.....(don't go to madam tussands...waste of money)
Paris - is truly beautiful. ornate and gold adorned statues and buildings. See Notre Dame, the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Arc de triumph. You can also see picasso and Rodin museums if you like that. I went to Versailles on a half day trip...worth it....
Prague...another stunning city. Its friendly, small so you can easily walk around. THe arcitecture (to me at least) is more russianesque (pointed, odd shaped steeples etc). Places to see are Prague castle (the tickey gets you into places like Golden lane (cute little buildings), an old monistary, the old palace room (with great views over the city..lots of red rooves). Also the town square is cool with the zodiac clock and charles bridge is neat. Its cheaper than the other as well.
Lots of people like Amsterdam, although I was a bit disappointed...but I'm not into smoking pot etc, the red light district was eye opening and i like Anne Franks house. I spent about 20mins at the Van gogh museum (but I know little about art) and the canals were quite neat.
Rome is also something to see. Lots of Roman and renassiance stuff like the colloseum, roman ruins, trevi fountain, the pantheon, the vatican (with sistine chapel...i missed it as it was shut over easter!) the spanish steps (these were under renovations and had no flowers when I saw them) or you could see Florence (LOTS of people) with a more renaissance feel, lovely buildings (yellows, oranges etc with painted detail), the amazing cathedral..that I forgot the name of). See "David" or the other main museum with amazing art in it.
I personally like parts of Croatia...for something different. Its cheaper too. Dubrovnik is lovely on the coast, with the old part of the city is really neat. You wouldn't need to spend much time here as its smaller (ie 1-2 days), but its a different feel (more mediterranean) and the coastline and scenery is so different.
Hope it helps

Well, if like beautiful sights and great places around the city, here are my top 5.
Paris-For obvious reasons, romantic city, beautiful there, great tourist attractions, and a great place to excape reality and relax.
Venice-Such a beautiful city, so much to do there, and great places to visit even around the city. The canals are great and a ride on the conoe is a perfect way to end a day.
Dubrovnik-Not many people have probably been there, but trust me it's a great place for attractions and the sight seeing is beautiful and breath taking. You get the mountains and sea all in one while driving down a road. Also, the attractions are great there and so much to do.
Prague-One of the most beautiful cities in Europe, and the history and the attractions are great to see. You get to visit so much and learn a lot about the city and it's history while at the same time you see the ways it is beautiful and it great attractions.
St. Petersburg-Great city, and the views around the city are beautiful and great to see. It is a great place to visit in the winter, but during the summer it is also great. Beautiful buldings, and historical places make you love the place. A great city to visit for attractions and to do so much more.
Hope I convinced you to visit some of these cities, but there are so many in Europe you can't go wrong with any 5 you choose. Hope you have fun.

If you choose Vienna you can also do Bratislava as a day trip as it's the capital of Slovak (I suggest you do it as a day trip as there's not really much to see/do in Bratislava) as it's only an hour away by coach and they run regulatory coach services between the two. Other options would be Amsterdam, Prague, Riga, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dublin or Budapest. It really depends on what your budget is like, where you're flying from and your flight time (ie it will take longer to fly from London to Budapest than London to Amsterdam). If you go on most airline websites they will have a city guide to their destinations, that could help you decide.

I'd say Amsterdam and Rome, definitely. Paris is up there, I liked London but it should compete with Prague, Berlin, Copenhagen, Venice, and Barcelona for the final 2 spots.
