Paris
1.Eifel Tower. Simply Brilliant
2.Stuff items of clothing down the back of your shirt and pose as the hunchback of Notre dame for the camera. (Obviously do so in front of the Notre dame)
3.A full lap on the batobus

All of which I enjoyed very much

Paris
1. musee d'orsay [disclaimer - been a decade since i went with school, but found it worthwhile].
2. versailles [amazing place, the area around it is worth investigating as well]
3. people watch, drink wine, and catch the sunset over the city from monmartre

Berlin
1. depends when you're going, the neuesmuseum opens soon and looks well worth a trip. avoid the haus am checkpoint charlie, its really not worth it.
2. art/ostalgia market along the river bank on museum island.
3. lose yourself in the jewish memorial. i slagged it off something chronic until i did this on my own. its strangely atmospheric.

Prague
1. you said no drinking, but there is an unmissable beer hall. i'll find the name tonight.
2. the palace
3. snowball fight / sledging with the OH [winter obviously].

just remembered, the beer hall is called u fleku [sp?]. oldest in the city, the beer is brewed there and is fantastic. it just keeps appearing by magic and the waiters kept giving us some weird spirit that ended the evening nicely.

was with my then OH and she loved it, think a band turned up at one point [accordion and the like] to get the locals singing away.

there's also a hotel opposite the clock tower that had a pretty cool gypsy jazz band of an evening.

Paris. Take the tour of the catacombs under the city. Well worth it.

And if you're over that way I suggest going up the Montparnasse Tower to see the views (no bloody queues like the Eifel and just as high).....

[yellowbentines]

Prague
1. Go to the opera (seriously, even if you're not usually into this kind of thing)
2. Go up the hill on the funicular railway then climb to the top of the cathedral tower for spectacular views
3. Go to the open air rooftop restaurant of Hotel U Prince (you don't have to eat or drink )

Munich - as a tourist

1, sit in the hofbrauhaus / Chinesish-a-turn (sp) surrounded by americans
2, Oktoberfest if its on
3, go and hunt out the topless girls in the nudest gardens

Munich - as a resident (which i am)

1, Find a nice bar just off Marienplatz (town center) and people watch
2, go on a city tour, they are fantastic. Either on bikes or walking
3, Take wander through the english gardens. stop by the seahaus for a mass or two. then go for a paddle.

Munich - As petrolhead

1, go to BMW welt and take the museum and factory tour
2, try and spot a car thats not a BMW, Mercedes or a Porsche
3, The deutches museum is a fantastic visit if your slightly into engineering. They have one of the only surviving U1's in the basement

Any questions just ask.

Go and see the Cathedral (and the rest of Gaudi's works but don't pay to go in, it's better from the outside (imo) and just overpriced and rammed with tourists inside.

Paris, get your glad rags on and go on a river cruise in the evening, 5 course meal included with live classical music, very romantic and stunning views from the sienne seeing all of the sights lit up at night.
