Hey punks, it's going to be my 1st Europe trip and I'm stoked! My 3 week trip will begin and adjourn in London from July 14 to Aug 8. I'll be going with two friends and some of the places on our initial itinerary in this order are:

London - 3 days
Paris - 3 days
Barcelona - 2 days
Madrid - 2 days
Florence - 2 days
Rome - 3 days
Venice - 2 days
Either Prague or Rhine Valley ~2 or 3 days
Amsterdam - 4 days
Back to London - 1 day

I know that's a lot of places in a short time. For those of you that have been there, what's the ideal amount of cities I could explore without being too rushed within the 3 week timeframe? Should I drop any particular places that are out of the way and group countries that are closer together or is this fine? Any suggested changes on the destinations on my itinerary as well the order which we're visiting to cut the travel time/cost. I'm 24 and open checking out neat places where I can meet new people, have an incredible time, and party!!

Also, should I reserve hostels now for the availability and the best rates or should I just find one as I go so I can be flexible with time and unexpected places I want to visit.
