If Europe is alien to you, and you feel like dipping a little deeper into the gems here, then you can get round in three weeks, seeing some of the most beautiful places you'll visit.
London take two days here to see a show, visit Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, and stop in at Buckingham palace. It's not a long period of time to spend here, and you'll barely scratch the surface, but these are must sees when in the city. If you have a little longer, visit the British Museum or take a walk up Primrose Hill and down to Regents park.
Paris from London, hot foot it to the Euro star, and dine in Montmartre. Visit the Louvre for your intake of artiness, and the Eiffel Tower for an expensive view of the city. If you are feeling flush, take a trip to the Moulin Rouge to see the show.
Barcelona from Paris, take a night train to the home of Gaudi. Soak up the stunning baroque style, and don't leave without eating some Catalan cuisine or you'll regret it.
Rome fly to the eternal city for rich culture and history. See the Trevi fountain and visit Vatican city. There is never enough time to see Rome properly, as it is so full of amazing sights.
Vienna take another night train and wake up coming into Vienna, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Wander the tiny little streets and have coffee in one of the many cafes, and take the time to watch the world go by.
Budapest Hop on the train again, and see the city split by the river. Enjoy the thermal baths, a popular feature with the locals, and soak up some culture.
Athens fly to Athens, to once again be met by history. Visit ancient ruins like the Acropolis, and take a drink in one of the lively tavernas.
Istanbul Fly to Istanbul where you can visit Topkapo and Aya Sofia. Take a boat ride along the Bosphorus and step into Asia, as this is the only city split over two continents.
