re: Austria and Scandinavia suggestions

Very good write-up for Copenhagen. Beautiful and IMO, very underrated city. Lagkagehuset is one of my first stops every time I'm there.

Walking the length of Strøget, the longest outdoor shopping street in Europe, is highly recommended. Check out Rundetårn (The Round Tower) in central CPH. It's an old observatory that provides great views of the city. Admission is 25 Danish Krone, which is about $4.50. The water taxis are great ways to get around and see the city from the water. Have a beer and some ice cream (not necessarily together) at Nyhavn. It's touristy but still a fun experience.

As for Sweden, I can give you more information than you probably need. Just depends on how long you plan to be there.

Not saying it's better than Amsterdam, but Berlin isn't exactly slacking when it comes to prostitutes, escorts, brothels, etc.

drugs are cheaper too.

amsterdam is a giant rip off. you should check it out but its way over-rated as a party city. Yes, you party but other than legal weed and hookers everywhere, what else is there? The coke is worse than you would get at a bar in baton rouge, and more expensive. the MDMA will likely be bunk, and they can't sell 2cb or shrooms anymore.

You could find the best drugs in the world in amsterdam, but you won't. You will be buying it off some poor indonesian dude.

I can offer some more suggestions if you want.

Awesome write up so far. I am definitely going to check those recommendations out. Please add more if you are able.

Ok here are my suggestions

Vienna
-Schonbrunn Palace: Huge palace where you can tour the inside for pretty cheap. There's a huge garden in the back, a zoo, a labyrinth maze of hedges, and a swimming pool. Very fun.
-Museum Quarter: Two great museums, the MUMOK is a modern art museum and the Leopold Museum for Austrian art. At night, the courtyard in the center of the museum quarter sells beer and has live music. When we went, it was a string quartet playing, very relaxing atmosphere.
-Belvedere: Huge palace with more art
-Random: Freud Museum was pretty interesting, and the Austrian Parliament gives very cool guided tours of the building. Haven't been to Prater amusement park yet, but will definitely check it out while I am here.

Prague:
-Old square: The astronomical clock of Prague is here, just be sure to be around the area at the top of the hour to watch all the intricacies of the clock. Sigmund Freud's house is a stone's throw away from the clock as well.
-Forgot the name, but Old Square also has a museum with a gallery full of Salvadore Dali, Andy Warhol, and Alphonse Mucha. Very worth the cheap price of admission.
-Ice bar: Fun, touristy, but again, worth the cheap price to go drink in a bar made entirely of ice.
-Charles Bridge: famous bridge that connects Old Town into Lesser Town (the town right below the castle).
-Petrin Hill: Takes you to an observatory at the top of a hill overlooking Prague. Gives you a great view of the city.
-Random: KGB Museum and Museum of Communism are in Prague. Also visited the castle at the top of Lesser Town (which I can't remember the name.) The infant baby Jesus is also in a Church in Prague where you can just walk in and view or take pictures. Just go walk around the 4 main districts of Prague, you'll see some crazy art and architecture.

That's off the top of my head. Have only been in Vienna for a week so far and was kind of busy with school the first week, and was only in Prague for the weekend. Both cities are great and well worth a visit if you are in Europe. Hope that helps.

No worries, you'll have a blast

Awesome list. The KGB and museum of communism intrigues me to no end. Will hit those up for sure then a drink at the ice bar.
