What parts of Europe should we see

Me and my brother are flying into London (we're from Canada)  on Aug 2, from there we are going to Ireland for a week or so to visit relatives.  After that it's fair game.

Anyone have any adivce or tips on the places to be.  We have about 3 weeks.  We were thinking about going mostly through Eastern Europe.  I am supposed to be planning out the trip as we speak so any first hand info would be great.

Any really big events going on that time of year?

Personally I like Spain and

Personally I like Spain and Portugal best. Portugal reminded me a lot of California. Its a very relaxed and laid back country. Spain is pretty cool too.

In 3 weeks you can take take the grand tour: Germany -> Czech Republic -> Italy -> Switzerland -> France -> Spain -> Portugal.

Berlin, Munich, Dresden are my fav. cities in Germany. Prague in the Czech Republic is the ultimate Party town and a nice baroque city. Rome (Italy) is a very nice Destination. I have never been to Switzerland. Paris (France) is wonderful, Seville (Spain) and Barcelona (Spain) are not to be missed, Lissabon (Portugal) and the Algarve (southern Portugal) would make a nice relaxed finish.

In Summer there are always open air concerts.

Too bad you are not going earlier. On July 15th the Love Parade will be in Berlin again. Usually there are 1.5 Million people at the largest open air party in the world.

Maybe you can tour Europe before going to London and see the Love Parade.

How about my hometown of Barcelona?

Shows, bars, discotheques, concerts, terraces and popular fiestas are just a few of the choices that the city offers for enjoying the Mediterranean night.

Defenitely Portugal. Just

Defenitely Portugal. Just found some old pictures when I was cleaning. If I get around to scan them I can show you how beautiful it is there.

tay: Barcelona has a vibrant nightlife (not sure you want your daughter there). The historic downtown is beautiful, but traffic is pretty bad (at least used to be). Maybe she can book a guided tour.
