Hello world

[travelmatt]

I've been planning a trip to head to Europe for 5 weeks for some time now, and I stumbled on this site and fell in love with it. So hello everyone.

Im writing to get some general advice; so far I have a simple itinerary planned:

Fly into Paris
Brussels
Antwerp
Amsterdam
Berlin?
Prague
Budapest?
Bologna
Florence
Rome
Back to Paris to leave

I speak enough French to travel, not enough to hold a conversation. Im traveling alone most likely and will be looking to just hang out and experience anything I can when over there.

My question is if you experienced travelers think Berlin is worth seeing and on the same note, Budapest. Im curious about both and will appreciate any views on these cities. Also, am I leaving any city that should be seen?

Thanks ahead of time.
