I think its clear from the suggestions that you cant go wrong regardless of what you pick. I personally would never suggest Barcelona, Amsterdam, or Krakow as a first Europe trip selection, but others clearly would. Krakow is perfect if you are interested in WW2 history and want to see Auschwitz.

I would second the recommendation of being regional. 3 destinations in fairly close proximity is ideal for 2 weeks, as opposed to starting in London and jaunting over to Athens or something.

London-Paris-Amsterdam is very doable and short train rides from each other.
Prague-Vienna-Budapest are as equally amazing and probably less pricey (not like it used to be, but still).
-Rome-Florence-Venice is another great option.
-Berlin-Munich-Zurich (or Salzuburg)

Whatever you pick, I'm envious- would live over there in a second if I had the opportunity. Fortunately, we are able to go to Europe often because we have so much family there. Our trip last summer was only to England (for a wedding), but the previous summer was our honeymoon and we went Barcelona-Nice-Rome-Sorrento-Sicily-Venice-Croatia, with a one day layover in Amsterdam because we flew KLM.

Btw, in my experience, for YYC carriers it goes KLM>>>BA>>>Air Canada
