Hello ladies! H and I are planning our HM to Europe in April, and I was wondering if any of you have been over there, and could offer some unique ideas for places to visit in some of our cities we are visiting (Paris, Amsterdam, Munich, Prague, Vienna, Zurich, Milan and Venice).
Thanks!

We honeymooned in Spain and Portugal, but I've been most of the places on your list.
Can I ask how long your trip is? Because that is a very long list. It's going to be hard to do much in each place and you will spend most of your time traveling.
In Munich I recommend going to the beirgarten in the Englischergarten and taking a day drip to Dachau (the suburban train goes there) and visiting the concentration camp.
In Vienna I think the trip to the Shonbrunn Palace is worth it. I also liked the Imperial treasury museum.
I really love Venice, and really the best thing to do there is just wander around and try to see some of the neighborhoods away from Rialto and San Marco. It's also worth it to take the vaporetto over to Murano for an afternoon.
I have nothing really good to say about Zurich. Switzerland is ridiculously expensive and kind of boring. Unless you're planning on doing outdoorsy stuff I'd probably skit Switzerland alltogether.
I haven't been to Milan, but I've heard its also expensive and boring. I just don't think there is a ton to do there besides fashion related stuff.

At the Louvre: La Jaconde <-- Mona Lisa, Winged Victory, and Venus de Milo. I might also mention my favorite sculpture of all time: Cupid and Psyche!
Have an awesome time!
I am going to Italy - Rome, Positano and southern Tuscany. Anyone have any good recommendations?!?
We're heading to Amsterdam and Paris at the end of March.
Depending on how long you have in these cities and when you're going, I'd consider doing/getting (mainly based on research than personal experience)
AMS suggestions:
-iAmsterdam card
-Anne Frank house (buy tickets in advance, you get 30 minutes inside but lines to buy tickets can be up to 1.5hrs long)
-Keukenhof Tulip Gardens <this is at least a half day trip total from Centraal AMS
-Upstairs Pancake House
-Van Gogh Museum
-Vondelpark
-Canal boat tour
-Bike tour
-Rijks Museum
Paris:
-Fat Tour Bike tour
-Lourve
-Eiffel Tower
-Sacre Couer (and while you're out there, Moulin Rouge)
-Catacombes tour
-Boat ride on Siene River
-Paris Museum pass
-Berthillion Ice Cream
-Notre Dame
-D'Orsay -
Stroll CHamps-Elysees
-Arc de Triumph
-Jardin de Luxembourg
-Staint Chapelle
-Musee Rodin
-l'Organerie Musee
-Tour Montparnesse <great city view; including of Eiffel Tower
