tamillahh, welcome to GFE.
If you're planning to travel in Europe during Autumn/Fall, then there are a few points you should know first:
Weather - it can be getting cooler by the end of September, so pack clothes you can layer, and a light rain jacket as well. You'll need this at night as well as if it rains (which it often does in Sept/Oct).
Oktoberfest - this is in Munich, not Berlin. Berlin has some great beer gardens, but the Oktoberfest you're thinking of is in Munich. If you want to go to it, then drop Frankfurt (drop it anyway, unless you have friends there) and replace it with a few days in Munich. And sooner rather than later (ie now!) book accommodation. It's not cheap, and much of it will be booked already, but look at The Tent to see if they still have places. Berlin needs 3 full days and if you are interested in WWII, don't miss the Topography of Terror museum/information centre.
Greece/Albania/Croatia - better visited in the Summer months as by the end of September, many of the resorts/islands are closing down and lying on the beach can be a chilly/windy affair. If you still want to go, particularly to Greece and Croatia, then perhaps look at starting in these countries to get the last of the warm weather.
Spain - ditto for beach weather (Majorca esp), but there is plenty to see in Madrid and Barcelona (which is the capital of Catalunya).
As for Battlegrounds (WWI and II), Caen is really the only place on your list applicable to this category. There are a few other places, in France and Belgium, which may be of interest to you, but that will mean adjusting time in other cities to incorporate these. Hopefully Eagle will see this post and offer some suggestions on this.
Switzerland - Bern is pretty, Geneva really only needs one day (not much fits your interests,but again if you have friends here that will help), so consider some time in the mountains of the Bernese Oberland district. Look at towns like Lauterbrunnen, Gimmelwald or Murren as they are scenic and have B&B/hostel accommodation. Switzerland is not cheap, so plan your time here well.
Czech Rep - Prague needs 3 full days, but if you plan a day trip to Kutna Hora then add one day. If you want to visit somewhere else, Cesky Krumlov is stunning. Plan this part of your journey well as train connections around the Vienna, Budapest, Prague section can be tricky.
Austria - Vienna needs 2 full days, again depending on your interests. Another part of Austria that is very scenic is the Tirol, the mountains around Innsbruck.
Hungary - Budapest needs 2-3 full days.
Take into consideration the information about O'fest and weather and restructure your itinerary based on that. Let us know when you have and we will be able to offer more information and fill in the gaps.

katejing, welcome to GFE.
I will be able to suggest a route, and perhaps a guideline for how many days in each, but there are still a few gaps in your itinerary in terms of exact places in countries and your interests, ie what you would like to see/do in each place. Also, where do you need to end up after you finish the trip - where are you flying back to?
As for a route, the one you've suggested below tends to jump around a bit. I'm not sure why you chose things in this order, but I would suggest doing things in a more "logical" order. That is, look at starting from Manchester and going to say Paris, then Amsterdam, Berlin, Athens, Rome, Milan, Switzerland, Madrid. Again, not necessary to go exactly that route, but you get the idea of not backtracking (as you would if you kept the current route).
Switzerland - not sure where you plan to fly into (I'm guessing Zurich), but it is easy enough to get around Switzerland by train. They are very efficient and cover a lot of places. If you haven't already decided where in Switzerland you want to go, look at the Bernese Oberland, the mountains around the town of Lauterbrunnen. The area is very scenic, great for hiking, mountain biking or just staring at the mountains. There are little villages to stay in (Lauterbrunnen, Murren, Gimmelwald) and you can access mountains like Jungfrau or Schilthorn from those bases. Depending on your interests, I'd spend 3 nights (2 full days) in the region. And look at getting the Swiss Pass which gives discounts on rail and even up to the mountains.
Rome - spend a minimum of 4 nights here, depending on what you want to see and if you were thinking of a (long) day trip to Pompei.
Athens - if you're just staying in Athens (ie no other areas to visit) then 2 full days will be good, but again that depends on how much you want to see. Keep an eye on things there too. At the moment, the demonstrations are mainly contained to Syntagma Square, the centre of the city, so Plaka, Acropolis, etc are still fine to be in.
Milan - if you plan to see The Last Supper, then book as far ahead as you can for tickets. Milan is the least Italian of all cities, so you could spend just 1 full day here and see the art, Duomo, Galleria and centre of the city, or scrap it all together if you have no real interest in Da Vinci or shopping.
Paris - 4 full days here will let you see a lot, plus take time to just sit and enjoy the view. Check the days of the week you'll be here as many museums close on Monday or Tuesday.
Madrid - 3 full days will be good, even if you plan a day trip to Toledo, etc.
Amsterdam - 3 full days with no day trips.
Berlin - 3-4 full days, lots to see and do.
You will be best to use a combination of rail and air travel, so once you've sorted an exact route and cities, we will be able to offer more suggestions on the best transport options between each place.

No problem, just means we'll keep asking when you're travelling (I've now looked back in other Posts - this Summer) and how long you'll be in places. Having that information easily to hand just allows us to help with suggestions, etc.
I'm guessing that part of your tour will involve a trip up to Monaco, likely at night. Is that correct? Or does the tour involve going to Grasse, Cannes?
It is a shame that you bought the rail pass before deciding on places to visit, but it won't be a waste, you'll just have to configure some things a little differently. For example, train travel around the Cote d'Azur is the best way to visit towns on the coastline (eg Antibes, Cannes, St Tropez) and getting to Aix (although you're there on your tour), Arles, etc. But some places, like Eze and St Paul de Vence, are better served by busses in terms of proximity to town centres. This is especially true for St Paul as the closest train station is Cagny sur Mer, then you still need the bus (# 400 which takes 1 hour from Nice anyway, main bus station in Nice is Gare Routier, just near Place Messina) from that station to St Paul. Same place for the bus to Eze. Fares are around Euro1 from memory, so it won't eat into your budget and add to the transport costs too much.

As you're finding out and as Eagle noted, mid-Summer in Barca will be heavily booked already. Not knowing where you've already tried, I'll just give a sample of different standards of accommodation, but all are in the centre or nearby: • Centric Point Hostel - good location, right off Placa de Catalunya, and you might get lucky and grab a private room www.centricpointhostel.com/ • Hotel Catalonia Atenas - located not far from Sagrada Familia, just near a Metro stop that accesses two lines and is only 4 stops from La Ramblas so easy to get around. Great rooms, very swish, staff nice too. www.hoteles-catalonia.com/hc/hotel.do?opcio=comoLlegar&id=137 • Kabul Hostel - Plaça Reial, 17, 08002 Barcelona; gets great reviews and is a popular hostel with different levels of accommodation. Plus it's right near Las Ramblas and the huge central market, which is a bonus. www.kabul.es/ • AWA Barcelona Central Hostel - Passeig de Gràcia 116, Barcelona; a fairly new hostel, but again have heard good things about it. It's a good location (opposite side of Placa de Catalunya to Las Ramblas) so easy to walk everywhere and offers private accommodation. www.awahostels.com/index.php?option=com_hotels&task=cities&city=Barcelona,%20ESP • Hotel Catalonia Ramblas – Part of the Spanish chain of Hoteles Catalonia which is a good chain (have stayed in a few), great location, easy access to everything, I loved it; www.hoteles-catalonia.com/es/nuestros_hoteles/europa/espanya/catalunya/barcelona/index.jsp will show all hotels in Barcelona. • Ambassador Hotel – good location and good hotel; www.ambassador-barcelona.com/ • Hotel H10 Catalunya Plaza Barcelona – odd name but nice hotel and great location; www.hotelh10catalunyaplaza.com/en/index.html • Park Hotel – located in the Barri Gotic or Gothic Quarter which is right in the centre of the city, 5mins from Las Ramblas and surrounded by great tapas bars and restaurants; www.parkhotelbarcelona.com Check their own websites for deals, and even do a search on something like lastminute.com or priceline and see what comes up. PS: are you still going to live in Berlin for your Internship? Did you decide what district to live in yet?

Day trips from Paris include:
Versailles - depending on what you want to see, could be a half or full day
Giverney - visit Monet's gardens
Epernay - champagne region and vineyard tours
There are quite a few flea markets in Paris on different days of the week, just do a search on Paris Markets and the information is readily accessible. This may alter your need for day trips as there is plenty to see and do in Paris for 3 days. You could also consider a cruise on the Canal St Martin which is something different and certainly not mainstream. Or you can walk along a large section of it too.
In terms of sights IN Paris, what is listed in your tour itinerary?

clever1963, you've posted quite a few different questions across the Boards, so to make it easier to follow for all (you and those offering advice) why don't we keep them all together as there are a few points of note in the other posts which will affect suggestions (esp meeting your sister, train passes, the tour itinerary). I can't recall if you've noted what time of year you'll be travelling - will have to look in other posts to find out - but the Riviera in Autumn/Winter doesn't mean beaches, it means sightseeing.
With that in mind, and trying to recall the list of places you'll visit on your tour, suggestions for the South of France include:
St Paul de Vence - best reached from Nice by bus; very pretty medieval town with an artists enclave Juan-les-Pins - for a bit of old-school Riviera glamour
Eze, as mentioned, is very pretty and on the way to Monaco. The trip up by bus is very pretty, but train is fine too. If you take the train to Eze, you'll have to take another village bus to Eze itself as the train station is not in the centre. Not sure how long you'll be be in the region, so not suggesting too many options at the moment.

I'm with Eagle in recommending you wait until your first full day in London to to your bus tour. That way, you can just stroll at your leisure on day 1, have an early dinner and get some rest before taking on the hop-on-hop-off tour first thing the next morning. You'll be able to plot the sights you want to get off at and how much time you'll need that full day once you've had a bit of rest.
As for the day trip from London - I'm not sure you'll have time to do all the things you listed plus a day trip. The British Museum can take quite a chunk of time. If you do decide to do a day trip, it will have to be either Bath & Stonehenge OR Oxford, not both. Unless you're taking an organised tour (like Evan Evans) in which case this will make for a long, but full day. I think they do a Windsor, Stonehenge, Oxford tour from memory.
Day trips into the highlands from Edinburgh are easy enough to find, and simplier than driving yourself. As Eagle noted, spending an additional night there will depend on how much more of the highlands you want to experience vs time in London.
Not sure what "open markets" you're referring to in London, but many of the ones you listed previously close around 4pm as a general rule.
I am glad to see that you are heading back for time in London before you fly out, rather than trying to make it down from Scotland the day you fly out. That way, you won't be rushing and you can still have at least one full day to play in London, even if you do decide to stay longer in Scotland.

Good to see you're making progress on your trip, maniak90.
As you're travelling in January, you'll miss the Christmas Market season (they all close on or around 24th Dec), but there will still be plenty to see, do and eat along the way in January and February, including Fasching, or Carnivale/Mardi Gras, in some of the placed you've listed. In 2012 it's Feb 20-22nd, which is when everyone dresses up (like Halloween) and has street parties.
As for your choices of destinations and time allocated, I think overall it's a good plan. Plan on spending one night in Frankfurt when you arrive - it's a bit of a hike from Australia on that flight and you'll want nothing more than to have a shower and a good night's sleep when you arrive, so tackle the train to Paris the next morning.
Brussels as a base for 3 days will allow you to get to Brugge/Bruges for a day as well as see things in Brussels like the Museums of Fine Art, Atomium and Mini Europe, Beer Museum, Chocolate Museum, Comic Museum (Tin Tin and Smurfs!), Horta Museum...and that's before you've even eaten or tracked down the Mannekin Pis and his sister Jeanneke. Brugge is gorgeous, and you might think you should have stayed here, but this time around leave Brussels at a decend time in the morning, wander around Brugge and spend a night or two there next time. The walk from the train station in Brugge takes a good 20mins, so see if the public bus to the centre Place is running.
The train from Amsterdam to Berlin is a long one, overnight longer, so consider a flight on this sector. Look at Transavia.
Vienna - if you have the time up your sleeve, then 2 full days here will suit you well and you can visit museums, wander the city, enjoy the quiet city gardens in Winter and eat all the strudel and/or Sacher torte you want in that time. Lots to see here, again depends on your interests.
Bavaria (Munich) - again, if you have the time then you should put Munich in as well. A full day in the city will let you see the sights, another day will let you spend half of it out at Dachau (and the other half back in the city seeking out more Gluhwein or giant pretzels). 3 full days will let you take a day trip out to the castles - Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau, Lindau - on an organised tour if that's appealing. From Munich to Frankfurt by train is only around 2.5hrs, but don't do that journey on the day of your flight as there's nothing more stressful that being delayed on the way to a flight. German trains are super efficient, but the weather at that time of year can throw many spanners in the works, so arrive in Frankfurt the night before your flight. Frankfurt
Have a look at Rail Europe (there's a like on the Home page of this site) for Rail Pass information. If you think the Global Pass is best for you, then that's fine. Eagle or the others may have more suggestions on this one.
You're correct - the Baltic countries (Lativia, Estonia, Lithuania) will have similar weather in winter to Scandi - cold, bitter, windy at times. So save them for next trip if you want warmth.

Great call on Carcassone by Eagle, and don't miss the cassoulet either!
For Mykonos, it's both a relax and party place depending on what you're looking for. The main part of the island, around the port, has a variety of bars and nightclubs, and if you find yourself on Paradise Beach at 5pm (it's on the other side of the island, busses run there until 8-9pm) then hang around for the DJ who usually kicks in around 5 and goes until 9. But catch the earlier bus back or you'll be walking a very long way back to the other side. As Eagle has mentioned, ferries are the cheapest transport option, but check the fast ferry if you want to save time. Also look at Aegean Air as you might get lucky with a ticket under US200.
That train trip from Italy to Monaco then on to Nice will take a good portion of the day and you might find yourself with less time in Monaco than planned. They upgraded the train station a few years ago, so I'm not sure if they now have a left luggage area. At any rate, a train from say La Spezia or CT to Monaco will take around 5hrs, which doesn't leave much time for a walk around Monaco before getting the train to Nice. I'd suggest basing yourselves in Nice for 2-3 full days and taking a day or evening trip up to Monaco if you really want to see it all. But a word of advice, if you plan to go inside any of the casinos, dress well. That means, a button up shirt and trousers, not jeans. If you go in the Grand Casino, even for a look, you'll need a tie.
You seem to still be winging a lot of your trip, which is fine, but you'll find soon that accomgmodation and transport options fill up and you might have less of a choice if you don't lock some of the more popular places in. Eagle noted this in Nice, which is true if you want hostel accommodation in Summer, and also true for Mykonos, Santorini and CT.

Welcome to GFE, Ryan, and congratulations.
If you've been poking around the Boards, you've probably got a little more of an idea of transport, sights, accommodation, but we will see if we can offer some more helpf for your planning.
Three weeks is a good amount of time, especially for your first trip to Europe, and for your honeymooon. Don't try to cover too much ground if you want to enjoy your time and actually have some time together - nothing worse than spending all your time travelling to places but not actually seeing things because you picked to many places to visit.
A few notes for you:
1. What time of year are you travelling? This will have a large bearing on the better places to visit and how much time in each.
2. It's good that you are planning an open-jaw ticket, ie fly into Venice and out of Paris. That way you won't backtrack and will save time. Make sure you get in early for the airline tickets as open-jaw can be a little more expensive that P2P tickets.
3. Destinations - until Iknow your time of year for travel, I'll just go with best-case scenario for each place on your list.
Venice - 2 full days would be good here. Maybe three as jet lag could eat into your first day, depending on where in Canada you're flying from (ie west or east). There is a "water bus" service called Alilaguna from the Marco Polo Venice airport to the centre of Venice, ie the main island (there are 127 islands that make up Venice, but you're likely aiming for the main area surrounding St Mark's). This takes around 60mins and costs Euro15, and there are 4 different lines depending on your final destination in Venice. There is also a land bus (ATVO Fly Bus) which costs around Euro4 and goest to the train station near Piazzale Roma. Avoid taxis, water and land, if you're on a budget.
Croatia - depending on where your festival is, there are several ways to reach Croatia from Venice. There are large ferry boat services to Pula and Porec, as well as other ports from places on the Adriatic coast of Italy. You don't have to go back to Venice to continue in Italy. You could check flights from Dubrovnik (I'm guessing you'll end up there) to Rome with EasyJet or Croatia Air. Or there are ferries, fast and overnight, from different points on the Croatian coast to Italy. Once we know where you plan to be in Croatia, that will make suggestions easier.
Rome - 3-4 full days depending on your interests there is a good recommendation. If you're planning a (long) day trip to say Pompei, you'll need an extra day.
Tuscany - this is a region/state in Italy, not a town or city. Again, depending on what your interests are and what you want to get out of your time there (relaxing, sightseeing?), there are different places we can suggest, starting with Florence and/or Siena. You'll need 3 full days in Florence and 2 nights in Siena would also be recommended. Unless you want to pause here and soak in the countryside, in which case I'd suggest 3 full days in Siena (depending on the time of year, it gets busy in August). There are lots of other gorgeous little towns in Tuscany, but more info from you is needed before more suggestions can come.
Genoa - unless you have family or a specific reason, you might skip here and go to Cinque Terre instead. 2 full days minimum in a town in CT (Riomaggiore, Manarola or Vernazza would be my suggestions).
Nice - again, depends on the time of year you're travelling as to how long to stay here. I like Nice, but not at night as it can be a little dodgy for thefts if you wander away from the main areas. Don't be scared, just be aware. If you stay here, then 3 full days will let you explore (trains along the coast are convenient), have a day or evening trip to Monaco (don't miss the last train back or it's Euro60 in a cab!) and even lie on the beach if it's Spring/Summer.
Marseilles - again, another place which is a little dodgy, but worth a visit if you're tracking down Bouillabaisse. It's not far from Nice by train, so if your heart is set on it, then 1 night will be plenty. Then you can connect to the TGV fast train to Paris and get there in around 3 hours. If you decide to forgo Marseilles, then you can fly from Nice or also take a TGV connection from Nice.
Paris - 4-5 full days is a good amount of time to explore, sightsee, eat and drink in Paris. You can also fit half a day in Versailles in this time, but day trips outside Paris will eat into your time, again depending on your interests.
Hostels will be found in each destination, some of which will have double rooms so you can at least have a little more privacy on your honeymoon. Are you thinking of splashing out anywhere on a dinner or hotel?
As you can see, it's very easy to fill 3 weeks, so if you were thinking of more time soemwhere, you'll have to adjust your schedule a little. Let us know when you and your Fiance have discussed time in each place, and what time of year you're travelling.
EDIT: great minds think alike - Eagle and I have both pretty much asked and suggested the same things! At least you're on the right track! ;D

The "best" itinerary will also be influenced by what time of year you're travelling. If it's Winter, and you don't like cold weather, then Option A, but Option B would suit if you revel in cold winds and a little snow.
Choosing one region to explore has its advantages, ie Option A, but if you want to see something a little different, then I'm all for Option B.
Happy choosing!

To add to Eagle's notes, such a short trip will involve making a list of things you absolutely have to see/do and things that will be a bonus if you get to to them this time around, otherwise they stay on the list for the next trip.
I'm with Eagle in choosing Option 2, but that's only if you can spare more time for London.
If you can't then I'd go with Option 1, making 5 days London and 4 days Edinburgh. That way you have time for travel between the two (plane, train?) plus you can take an organised day trip from London to Bath and Stonehenge. Many tour companys (Evan Evans is one that springs to mind) often have Windsor in their Stonehenge/Bath trip, so that's a bonus. And time in Edinburgh will let you either day a (long) day trip to the Highlands (I'm guessing you're thinking of Loch Ness mainly?) or even spend a night somewhere in the highlands before travelling back to London for your flight.
It's worth keeping in mind that Camden Markets are best visited on the weekend (ie Saturday and Sunday) as that's when they are in full swing. Fridays aren't bad if you're stuck for corresponding days. Portobello Markets have different things in different sections of the markets - antiques, clothing, food, etc - and they stretch on for a long way, so check which section you want to see, or allow a lot of time to go through them all. And remember Saturdays are jam packed, making it difficult to move quickly.
And one last thought, you should consider one full day for a Sightseeing Bus Tour, one of the hop-on-hop-off ones will do the trick. That way you get a good orientation of the city, take photos and get off at the sights you want to go into whilst added a few extra ones to your hit list. These busses leave from many points around the city and your accommodation will have information on at least one of them. The two bigs ones (Original and London) are both fine, so whichever you see first will do.

paperluffy, I'm sure you realise you have a lot of research to do in a short space of time if you want all of your trip finalised before you leave for Spain...hope you've got your nose buried in an atlas this weekend! ;D
You mentioned the countries you'd like to visit as: spain > uk > france > netherlands > germany > greece > italy and in that order. Eagle has already mentioned you'll need to be a little more logical about the route you take, or at the very least the way in which you travel between each destination. Whilst this isn't the most convenient route, the cities you choose to visit will determine the final order of your itinerary as flights/trains between them aren't always possible or convenient.
To give you a few places to look up/ponder for your final itinerary, you could look at flying out of Spain to London for a few days (if you would like day trips to Stonehenge, Bath, Oxford, etc, then allow 4 full days in London minimum). From there you could travel north to Edinburgh for a few days and then fly from there to Paris for a minimum of 3 full days (no day trips, except half day at Versailles if required).
Take the Thalys fast train to Amsterdam (3.5-4hrs) for a few days, and then fly to Berlin (check Transavia) for 3 days. Train or fly on to your next destination depending on where your girlfriend's friend lives, but consider having Munich, and perhaps Rothenburg ob der Tauber in your itinerary.
From here, I would suggest flying (or train if Munich-Venice) to Italy and ending in Greece, in terms of ease to get to, etc. However, if you are determined to travel to Greece after Germany, then look for charter flights from Munich to the islands to save you time. Otherwise fly to Athens and go from there.
For Greece, you could have 2 days in Athens then fly to Santorini and/or Mykonos. If you want more remote islands, note that in your next post, but 2-3 full days on each island should be fine for you this time around.
Italy will depend on your iterests and where you absolutely have to visit. Getting from Greece to Italy (and vice versa) can involve flying or sailing (overnight ferry) so routes will depend on the cities you choose and how much time you have left.
Croatia is a great place to visit, especially at this time of year, but you are already cramming a lot in and travelling between places may look like it's not far, but don't be fooled - Europe isn't a small as it looks on a map!

leahfacebook, to add to Eagle's substantial and excellent advice, until you decide which cities you are going to keep in your itinerary, it's difficult to recommend any must see/do/visit bars/restaurants/museums/areas. Hopefully you post back with your latest itinerary and we can fill in the blanks for you.
Some of the places you've mentioned aren't really great in the Winter months - eg Nice, Greece, Ibiza - in terms of lots to see and do. They are more lively and come into their own in Summer, so save them for next time. You've already noted that it will be cold, and if last Winter is anything to go by you'll need to schedule a coat and boot shopping trip in London when you arrive! We had A LOT of snow and some very cold days, so if you're not used to it you'll need to rug up, and buying the equipment once you're there is easier than hauling it over, plus you'll get a better choice than in LA I'd say.
Once you've sorted your cities of choice, let us know and we'll see what else we can recommend.

hhh24, I can only echo what Eagle has mentioned - you're planning a lot for a short amount of time in some cities, particularly Rome and Paris.
It's understandable that you want to spend 3 nights in The Damage (aka Amsterdam), and if you don't want to sacrifice time there, then you'll be better off removing either Rome or Paris - likely Paris as you're meeting your friends in Rome - and adding the extra time to the other city. Ideally, and depending on your interests, you need 3 full days in Paris to scratch the surface, ditto for Rome. Perhaps if you stay in Rome then fly to Berlin (check Air Berlin) and then look at flying to Amsterdam (check Transavia airlines) then on to Serbia (into Belgrade would be the most serviced route, then on to Novi Sad (check bus and train services).
As Eagle suggested, an open-jaw flight would save you time and having to get back to Rome to fly back out. It's a great music festival, so plan well and you'll have a great trip!
