Venice, been there, but in 1978, so a refresher may be in order. Krakow perhaps? Dresden? (Been to Berlin as well).
Thanks!
Italy is far...I guess you'd fly there?
You could easily spend 8 days in Prague and take a couple day trips and be totally happy (depending on your travel tastes).
If you want to stick to cities, yes, Dresden is great, and Krakow is great.
