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

Rome, Milan, Venice, and Munich are the best choices.
In Rome, the must-sees are:
Trev vi Fountain-its fun to sit and watch how the theives throw in their
magnetic devices and steel coins, most of them
surprisinglyy don't get caught, but you'll understand
when you get footage of this
Colosseumm(Flavian Amphitheater)-I wouldn't actually go in if I were you, its costly and its not worth it,
the "roman gaurds" surrounding it are not free for pics
Next to the Flavian Amphitheater is the Arch of Trajan(or Titus)
and the Ruins of Rome(it is really easy to get lost and if you
want to save money and learn a great deal, walk close to
one of the tour groups:D
In Venice the people w/ the boats(im sorry for sounding ignorant,
i forgot their name) are very costly, but if you do plan on getting
on one you should walk around and look for better deals, and when
you do find one w/ a good price you should be able to persuade
him to lower it.
On the topic of eating and food, I recommend going out to eat
on a few occasions b/c it is also expensive and adds up.
Just simply go to markets/stores and you can buy meals and
snacks while saving ALOT of money.
Hotels:
In Rome: Hotel Giorgina
-two stars, in walking distance to Colloseum, train station
-good price, w/ complimentary breakfast
go to www.hotelgiorgina.it
I'd also advise going to Florence,Italy and if you are military,
Eidelweiss, Germany.Eidelweiss is a resort in the most
beautiful part of Germany. It is extremely nicely priced,
w/ pool, arcade room, restaurant+buffet, the views from the
rooms are centered on a breathtaking view of
the zugspitz(tallest mountain in Germany)
While there you can take a horse and carriage ride
throughout the local town, Helen,
or a 3-Country tour, where you are on a charter bus
for a day and you are taken on a tour to Switzerland,
(you'll stop for lunch and its extremely expensive)
Leichtenstein, (very small, and beautiful), and Austria.
You'd also be taken to the castle of Neushwanstein
(definitely spelt wrong).
While at the resort you can also be taken to Eagle's
Nest, where Hitler lived.
While in Florence or Rome, take a train to Pisa.
Hopefully this is helpful=D
