ETA: to those people saying you can't experience any of the stuff in a few days at each city are wrong
The argument isn't that you can't "see a bunch of shite" but if you can truly get a grasp of the local culture and people moving that often. Or perhaps, god forbid, make a friend with a local in your time there.
However, how one chooses to travel is personal preference.

I spent 3 days in Barcelona and didn't see everything I wanted to; although one day was spent at the beach

Interesting, I'm going to Barcelona this December so no beach, but was considering doing either all of it there or 3 days and 3 days somewhere else. So thoughts are nice to hear.
Thinking there and Seville instead of going to Marseilles or Nice. Flights are all an hour from BCN

Nice was possibly the coolest place on my entire trip, the food is great, they have great bars and the beach there is awesome. If would defiantly l not miss out on Nice. Also Nice is nice

this is true. But IME people who have done both styles, they usually opt for a slower pace. But sometimes you have to learn this by experience vs. being told.

Ya its been a tough tough call. I'm torn.
I'm thinking Seville needs to be seen with its Andalusian area neighbors and maybe Portugal on a separate trip.

I am doing London, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Stockholm between Oct 10 - Oct 20. Around 3 days in each place. Should be nice.

Yeah I've heard Portugal is great

The "United States Street" or whatever on the front beachwalk is very nice. The amenities and attractions and general beauty of the beach area is incredible. The beach itself sucks. Rocky, insanely crowded, freezing cold water, and the wrong kind of nudism.
I would recommend just walking down the beachfront, then hit the farmers markets further east, go up the mountains and have wine and dinner, and check out Villefranche.

I haven't been to most of those cities but this was my experience this past May...
We did London-Amsterdam-Munich-Zurich-Florence-Rome in that order in 14 days. 2-3 days at each stop. Is it a lot of travelling? Yes. Totally worth it though if you're trying to see everything you possibly can and you only have 2 weeks.
We saw everything we could during the day and went out past midnight pretty much every night. We sacrificed sleep and just powered through. Slept on trains when we could. It was the trip of a lifetime and I wouldn't change a thing about how we did it.

Well, if you are going to take the advice of other posters and assume a church is a church is a church, the cathedral in Seville is a good one to see. It is the largest gothic cathedral on earth and inside is the tomb of Christopher Columbus. Also, the Giralda is quite impressive.

When I was there it wasn't crowded at all, I just went down to the restaurant at the end of the street and they have like a private beach. It is a rock beach but I personally hate sand so the rocks were a nice change , but yeah the nudity isn't too good to put it kindly

Stockholm
I'm biased, but it's one of my absolute favorite cities. You'll be there before the cold and darkness really begins to set in.

We went in the middle of summer. It was asses-to-elbows all the way down. No room. I grew up on the Gulf, so rocky (or even paved concrete!) beaches are not my thing.
Posted on 7/17/14 at 4:21 pm to Teddy Ruxpin
Well I was w a bunch of slow moving chicks
The metro in Barca is really good and can take you anywhere. I wanted to go to the Olympics area but we just ran out of time
They have free English walking tours that are pretty good, just google em
The clubs are awesome

A beach in Greece is much much better from a nudity perspective
Posted on 7/17/14 at 4:23 pm to Teddy Ruxpin
The problem is that Greece is now a third world country.
