If you had one week to travel through Europe, what countries/cities are MUST SEE?

One week is quite short for Europe but I would try something like this.

Arrive in Paris - spend 2 days
Take the Thalys to Brussels - spend 1 day
Make a daytrip with train to Brugge(if you have time and forces you can take the train to Oostende) and return to Brussels - 1 day
Take the Thalys to Amsterdam - spend 2 days
Take the Thalys to Cologne - spend 1 day

This way you see 4 countries and 5 cities

This is the most efficient way to see many places but if you ask my top 5 "must see" cities in Europe they would be:

1. Paris
2. Rome
3. Istanbul
4. London
5. Barcelona

A week is way too short, but Paris, London, Venice, Prague and Istanbul (especially Istanbul) would top my list.

Second tier would be Florence, Rome, Amsterdam, Berlin, Budapest, St. Petersburg, Athens.

Third level - Dublin, Edinburgh, Antwerp, Naples, Krakow, Dubrovnik, Sarajevo, Moscow.

Been to them all except Berlin, Budapest, St.P and the last 4.

One week is definitely not enough but I'd go to Italy especially to Venice and Rome then Dubrovnik then Spain

Amsterdam, The netherlands
But not for the popular reason of being allowed to smoke pot. It is a beautiful city with canals and art and great candy called droppies! Great cheese also.

One week is very, very short. Rather than wasting half of your trip travelling from one place to the next, stick to one major city and its surroundings. I've gone on a ten-day trip to Paris, a week-long trip to Rome, a two-week long trip to London, and never got bored in any of those places.

You're far better off getting well-acquainted with a city and appreciating its people, history and culture, as opposed to going on a whirlwind tour or a bunch of places, barely scratching the surface of each one.

Just a week? Do an in-depth trip to one city - Rome or Paris. That's the only way to get to know a place. Breezing through is a waste of your time and money, in my opinion.
