Prague, Berlin or Amsterdam?

I have 3 days in March, 2007 and I have to decide between Prague, Berlin and Amsterdam... London and Paris are already in my plans. Which of these 3 cities would be the best to visit on my fisrt time in Europe? Help...

As a complete contrast to Paris and London, I%26#39;d have to say Prague or Amsterdam, though I love Berlin (but it needs more than 3 days to do it justice). Prague and Amsterdam are much smaller : Prague is built on several hills which offers wonderful viewpoints; Amsterdam is off course dead flat but with the charm of the canals. You can get a good feel for both cities in 3 days.

Logistically it%26#39;d be simpler to do London, Paris, Amsterdam and then you could treat yourself to Berlin and Prague on your next trip, with Potsdam as a %26quot;must %26quot;as day-trip from Berlin.

ive been to all three fairly recently, and i%26#39;d say Berlin or Amsterdam.

i wasnt very impressed with Prague, i got the feeling its utterly tourism orientated, at least with the others, it feels like a living city.

Amsterdam and berlin are easy to get to from london, compaired to prague too...

Amsterdam is a unique city, but i%26#39;d say go to Berlin, there%26#39;s too much to do, which means you%26#39;ll have plenty to do :D its also fairly good value.

when in london, try to get to Hyde Park, its an amazing place, as is Covent Garden. havent been to paris, heard its great fun tho - have a good time :D

Admittedly my last visit to Prague was 6 years ago but we found that the tourists were concentrated in very specific parts and, as in Barcelona, there are places even in the centre where most tourists don%26#39;t venture.

Prague is a knockout architecturally and I love the varied perspectives you get with it being on hills (like Lisbon: another idea? Solid 8 has mentioned Barcelona too!). March not best weather for Prague though.

I%26#39;m planning to do Berlin in 3.5 days, Prague in 2 days and Amsterdam in 3 days in early January... I%26#39;ll let you know what I find :)

I have just come back from Berlin, have been to Amsterdam but not Prague but thought that Berlin has everything in abundance. Culture, museums, so much history you can touch it , shopping, great food and drink and people that seem eager to please. What more could you ask for? I thought Berlin was brill and would go again and again. For me it is on a par with London......
