prague and dubrovnik are two of my favorite european cities. greece is a clusterfck, but athens is a really cool city. santorini is amazing if you want to do the islands. rome is fun to see. venice is pretty mind blowing. it was the first city i went to in europe. nothing about paris really stood out to me, but we spent 4 full days there, stayed busy non-stop and still didn't see all that we wanted to see.

Depends on the month your visiting, as for countries.
I'd start with France.. I'd fly to Paris maybe spend 3-4 days there then rent a car and get a bed and breakfast guide to the best most romantic places and let the winds be your guide.. Traveling up the west coast of france is just epic, and you have a shitload of WW1 and WW2 historical stuff close, the food if you like sea food is epic, the wines are perfect the beer is awesome the people are nice as long as you don't adopt that American/British masters of the world attitude, f'kin Americans and Brits.. when I'm out vacationing if I'm having a quiet espresso at some café and someone starts being loud and obnoxious it's always either a brit or a murrikan..
I get along famously with the french since I speak a bit of it.. as long as you try they tend to be pretty relaxed with the English.
freaking avoid the Netherlands it's all just cities and roads basically.. Neijmegen was awesome however, Operation Market Garden.
I'd go from France to Germany down to the alps and into Italy there I would pick a few choice romantic hotels and spend a week or so at the beach.
Or better yet fudge Italy and go to Croatia their beaches are a lot more virgin, same amount of Italians however :/
You can't really travel anywhere in Europe without bumping into some epic historic monument or ruin so doing he whole mona lisa, colliseum etc etc crap is just so overdone.

September is alright a bit chilly up here in the North but keep south of North France and you're golden.
You could replace Germany and start in Spain instead and just go north up the coast from Barcelona; which is probably one of the coolest cities in Europe; I love the food in Spain, tapas is just awesome.. Speak with Puma-mod he's half a Spaniard if I remember correctly. Then you go up through Spain over the Pyrenees mountains into Bordeaux great wine country I'd hit up Loire valley that's where they make Sancerre and the better souvignon blanc wines.
Then nip into Switzerland and travel through Switzerland into Austria and then into Czechoslovakia, I like Prague myself, the beer is cheap and oh so awesome, beautiful women and I like the German inspired cuisine.
Down to Croatia and Dubrovnik
Europe is awesome by car in that area because it's not all highways and you see a lot of beauty on the way, especially the alps.

You could without any issues, all of the areas I spoke off are connected via high speed train.. Switzerland I'm unsure, because of the alps.. But I know France and Spain are connected, if you're both under 27 you can get these Interail cards which is basically a free pass to travel as much as you want within Europe for a 30 day period.
http://www.interrailnet.com/
I'd choose a few areas, spend time in each one and maybe rent cars on sight.. mobility has it's perks.. and these remote small romantic bed and breakfasts can not be overstated for their awesomeness.
edit: I've been to a lot of countries and cities in Europe, the only one I did not like was London.. Brits are uncultured ugly slobs, their architecture is ugly and cramped, London is dirty, crowded and I've been there twice and I saw two count them two hot girls the whole time and both of them were of African decent.

You'll still save a TON of money on not having to buy tickets all the time, and you get a lot more mobility if you want to just wing it spontaneity is fun for some, personally I can't stand it I need to organize my vacations down to a tee I do not like randomness, could possibly be a racial trait.
np man, possibly the cheapest and best way to experience Europe..

If winter, Granada, Barcelona, Paris, Rome, Venice.
In the summer most of those places are too hot and I would visit London, Paris, Munich and Prague instead.

Hate to break it to ya but Europe doesn't look like you've seen in the "hammer horror" type of flicks. 
Sure you can find plenty of old castles though if you're prepared to travel around, then let your imagination run wild.
Btw I second Austria and personally I like Spain, Sierra Nevada area!
Oh and Crete is lovely but ofc more tourist oriented in some parts, it's large though and well worth a week on its own imo.

Rent a car. (Make sure they allow you to cross borders.)
Don't plan too much. Fun things happen where you don't expect them.
Travel from youth hostel to youth hostel. Good price and decent quality.
Doesn't really matter where you go. Just don't spend too much time in the usual tourist places, they're overrated.
This is Europe, it's awesome everywhere.

Dude the food in the Netherlands is the most bland nasty crap I have ever had outside of England... Heck it's even worse than Malaysian food in Malaysia (Malaysian food outside of Malaysia is typically pretty good).

That shirt is attrocious and you should be brought up on charges of crimes against humanity for buying it and displaying it for all to have their eyes fester and bleed from the cheer godawful visual prolapse that your shirt is.

If you scoff at the food recommended by a Michelin guide you're probably used to eating pigswill and drinking sewage runoff.
typical american culinary stupidity, go to another nation then weep when can't stuff your face with 15 greasy cheeseburgers at every meal, bunch of f'kin philistines!

Northern Italy and France. If pushed I'll spend a month in a penzione in Florence. Florence is centrally located and would allow me to trip to many places.I have an offer from a woman , if i want to leave my life here and move into a 12th century stone house in Italy and work on a subterranean monastic cell on her property. She was part of the Factory scene in new York.

Last year my wife and I did London, Paris and Amsterdam in August and it worked well.
Stay away from spain and italy in august unless you have a very high tolerance for heat, crowds, and no locals because they're all on vacation somewhere else. Those countries are basically just full of a hot sweaty tourists at that time of the year and not much else.
Switzerland or Germany might be nice too. I don't really know what Prague is like in August but I would think it wouldn't be TOO hot. Maybe Vienna?

Germany if you like dry food with strong flavor and best beers in the world
Ireland if you like folk music, awful food and ale that's elsewhere refered to as cough syrup.
Paris...the food is good but the portions are microscopic and the people suck bad.
Amsterdam...Awesome if you're single
If you want hospitable people, good food and cheap prices...I'd say book a Mediterranean cruise and stay in few places...because of economic crisis they'll sell their firstborn to you if you got cash.

The only fear I have with sleeper cars is getting gassed and waking up a sex slave!
It would be in September and heat isn't going to be a problem. I'm thinking Mediterranean with a small stab into Switzerland/Germany/czech

Pretty much the entire month of September. I'll be coming from winter down here but I'm pretty good with heat though.
I'm not sure what your opinion of heat is, are we talking 30+ is roasting or are we looking at 35-40?

In september? Probably you won't see much above 35, and you might get lucky and not see it go above 30.
But at least in September people will be back. The thing about August is that literally most of the population of the big tourist italian and spanish cities leave on vacation. So you're left with only fat sweaty tourists. Which sucks hard.
At least in september the normal residents are back. And it is a bit cooler.

Still have to get my leave approved yet. Trying to take 5 weeks off when I would have only accrued 2 :/
