I was curious as to whether or not someone could kind of make up a simple itinerary for my families Vacation to Europe. Not really a whole trip just kind of like the places we should visit sites to see while in those places, an idea of how long to stay in each place, and maybe some hotel suggestions. Anyway we would like to visit Europe during the month of june or july of this year. We plan on spending a couple weeks maybe 3 in Europe visiting the different cities and sites of Europe. A few ideas of places we would like to visit include: Paris, Rome, Milan, Venice, London, maybe even Barcelona or Munich. Are these good places? Also there are 4 people who will be going and I will be 15 when we go, my brother 12, and my dad is not exactly a museum/ artsy person so limited art stuff. I know it's rather sad, but I believe me and mom would be the only ones to enjoy it. The other two would probably rather be riding a filthy roller coaster at Six-flags. So anyhow if you also have hotel and restaurant suggestions or really any helpful information that would be awesome!
Thanks

A sample you could do is you could always fly into St. Petersburg and spend about 4 days there. You could stay at the Hotel Rossiya which is very nice and you could just walk the entire city. You could also take a canal tour which will show you parts of the city on the boat and it would almost be like a roller coaster ride. You could then go to the Hermitage and see the amazing pieces of art there, plus go to Peterhof which is a little bit outside of the city and you could see an amazing palace. After you are done in St. Petersburg, you could travel by train to Petrozavodsk. There you can spend a few days while staying at the Hotel Karelia. You could travel to Kizhi Island and see the amazing churches and houses there. Plus, the city is home to some incredible museums. After being there, you could travel north to the city of Kem and then go to the Solovetski Islands where Aleksandr Solzhanitsen wrote about the Gulag Archipelago. Then you could continue traveling north to Murmansk and visiting the city, plus also goign to the nerby submarine base. After going there, you could take a bus to Kirkenes, Norway and then take a cruise down to Oslo which would allow you to see many of the famous fjords of Norway. Then from Oslo, after spending a few days there, you could travel back to the US.
