Right, good program!
About London: I was there already but not sure I'm the best person to advise you on it - perhaps one thing: try to go out of town a bit and visit Cambridge or Oxford (typically English campuses, very nice, especially in the summer). I would advise you to choose Cambridge, it's closer to London (about 1 1/2 hours by bus) and much nicer than Oxford (in my view)
As for Paris... Where to begin? Have you ever been in Paris? If not, I would suggest a tour of the biggest attractions - Tour Eiffel, Montmartre, Louvres + perhaps the cemetery Père Lachaise (loads of famous people there, and nice in the summer too), canal Saint Martin where it's very nice to walk around. Near Paris you've got Versailles (if you need any information on how to go there, ask!)
Barcelona, was there but do not know much
Venice is very very nice, I absolutely want to go back there - do not know much about the must sees - perhaps one thing: try an excursion to the "Murano" island - they propose guided tours + boat but no idea about the prices. To be brief, it's the place with the biggest glass industry of the town, very interesting to see live.
And finally, my favorite: Rome - absolutely must sees include Trevi Fontana, San Pietro (be patient, sometimes the queue goes around the whole piazza!!), Vittorio Emmanuelle memorial, Villa Borghese, all the piazze in the city - my favorite place is Piazza Navona (restaurants are quite expensive but nearby you can get pizza for cheap and then go back to eat it on Navona - magic at night)
And it's not so far to the sea (if you want to know where to go and how, ask as well)...
Oh, there was also Germany: Berlin is very nice (I was born there), loads of things to see so take your time. If you like hot weather, hiking and nature = Munich is perfect and you can be in no time in Austria from there (if you want to go there of course). If you like the sea and strolling on the beach, go north to Lübeck or Hamburg or Nordeney. There's also a nice lake district near Neubrandenburg, not so far from Berlin, in the north.
Hope I could help you a bit? Catarina
