I am planning my "bucket list" trip to Europe, hopefully in April. I am planning on a two week trip seeing Paris, Zurich, Vienna, Munich, Wiesbaden, Amsterdam, Brussels and all of the places in between. Cindy has already decided that she does not want to go since the plan is to visit antique shops, flea markets and casinos along with a few tourist sites. The tourist sites will depend on how much time is left after visiting the important places. She doesn't like a lot of driving and really hates the 15 hour flights.

My main question is how hard is it to drive and park in Europe? Since many of the places I will see are off the beaten track I can't really take the train (plus the hassle of dealing with all of the luggage every day). Also when on the train you don't get to stop at the little flea market in that small town you are passing thru. But I have concerns as to finding a parking place at all of the places I want to stop.

So I have the questions about the car and do you have any other good suggestions on what to do or see? I am hoping for a nice leisurely trip and the way I have it set up now there are only two days where I am travelling over 200 miles and I might find a way to reduce that by adding a day or modifying the schedule.
