We've been to Austria twice and all those others except Switzerland once. It's so different to be inside buildings two thousand years old. SWMBO celebrated two x0 birthdays in Europe - one in Spain, the other in France. I've managed one ordinary birthday in Italy and one in the USA (but that was special since it was a my aunt and uncle's place and we hadn't seen them for 10 years).

One warning though. Pickpockets are a nightmare in eastern Europe. The less you look like a rich tourist the better.

Take care and enjoy the experience.
