If I had 30 days & a decent budget:
Fly into London, or somewhere on west side of Europe that's cheap to get to from the US.
See London for 2-3 days, then fly/train to Paris & do the other for 2-3 days (travel time included in those days).
Then:
Train to Munich or Heidelberg for Xmas markets (2 days), or if you don't care to see those, go to Barcelona (2 days) next.
Ryan Air would be a good airline to look at, but always check distances. Their airport in Barcelona they fly into is decently located, but not so much with Rome, for instance.
Barcelona to Italy, see Rome (2-3 days), maybe Venice (1 day) or Amalfi (1-2 days) Italian trains are cheaper than other countries, but harder to navigate.
Then Dubrovnik, Prague, and/or Budapest. Dubrovnik is probably the hardest/most expensive to get to, so skip it if you only do 2 of these. Prague & Budapest both great.
If you have time in Budapest & you want to see something crazy, take a city bus out to the Statue Park LINK
Then again, this may only appeal to the 36+ crowd that witnessed the end of Communism, so your mileage may vary.

Venice really was a let down, I guess I expected more
Yes, both times I went were summer, so no flooding/gray skies. First time I went was with a friend, it was pretty but nothing special. St Marks wasn't under construction, so that was good. Second time with husband, it was romantic and nice, but I was about 7 weeks pregnant and the morning sickness combined with fish markets, seafood restaurants, boat rides-- ugh. And the cathedral was being worked on. Still pretty but it was no Rome.

Yea it was summer but just so crowded and vendors everywhere. Walk in a store and it felt like a flea market the way they pounced on you. They were working on the bridge as well so that was a let down. I think Antwerp, Brugge, Ghent, and Dinant were my favorite cities.
Amsterdam we did a day and a half and red light district was a let down. If I was 20 something and single it could have been great.
