Where should I go to as my next holiday trip?

[Moros]

So I've got four options: Athens, Rome, Prague and Budapest. Which are definitely worth it? What are the pro's or cons. Anything else I should know before going.
Note I've been in Rome before but only for a single day or something (don't remember well actually). Also how is Athens are there still a lot of strikes or other stuff going on there due to the crisis that could negatively influence a possible trip?

Thanks in Advance!

Voted Gah because it was stronger than myself.

I went to Prague somewhere in 1999 and it was, in one word: awesome.

[Arjos]

Voted Budapest, but Prague is another good choice: all the people I know, that went to eastern Europe, had mad fun...

Rome as an Italian, I say meh :P
Athens, never been there unfortunately...

[The Stranger]

athens is nice! all the options sound equally fun to me :P

can add berlin and barcelona too if you havent been there

[Ibrahim]

totally Prague. not as visited as Rome, but just as awesome.

[Ice]

Having been to none of those places, I would say Prague. I heard its dirt cheap and a blast.

[stratigos vasilios]

Come visit me down under mate! We'll grab some frothies, atm it's hot as all holy hell! A cold one will go down very nicely.

(But voted Athens because I have family there, maybe go have a beer with them instead...)

[a completely inoffensive name]

You get your butt to Athens right now and spend until this Euro crisis is over.

Athens is smelly. Rome is a little meh. Why not the Dalmatian Coast if you want the Mediterranean?

Prague is fantastic!

[Peasant Phill]

Definetly Prague. I never heard a bad word about Prague.

[Fragony]

Prague, don't expect it to be cheap anymore mind you

[Moros]

Prague it is. I have ordered the plain tickets and all. I'll leave the 26th of April.

Things I should visit that I might miss or that aren't that well known? I was thinking of going to the opéra there as well, costs only €15 apparently.
About it being cheap, well it is said not be dirt cheap anymore like in the old days, but it's still cheaper than West-Europe. Also as Belgium is one of the most expensive countries anyway, that isn't quite the problem.

[Peasant Phill]

Don't forget to take lot's of photo's and show them off here.

[Furunculus]

gah!

been to none of the above, so while they are no doubt awesome i will have to recommend malta (valetta).

Why, from what I've been told, all Prague is a tourist attraction

the best places I know about are Vitus cathedral, wherever the crown jewels of the Bohemians, Wenceslas square, the Dancing House, anything to do with Kafka, and wherever building it was where the two Catholic dudes were thrown overboard, starting the 30 years war. and if you are into it, there is a battlefield not far from Prague, where Frederick II won a battle, and one of his Generals, Kurt Christoph von Schwerin fell (1757). you might find Schwerin's death marker, around where he fell in said battle.

oh, and Prague castle.

EDIT: Hradčany castle was where the two catholics got hurled.

EDIT2: ooh, and where Reinhard Heydrich got bombed. srsly, this place has soo much

Word of warning on Athens. Some days you cannot do anything as absolutely everything is shut down due to strike action.

Then it was a good choice. Thanks for a great reply.

Loved Malta. Easy to get around and some beatiful spots to visit. Visit a fish restaurant at the fish market.
I wouldn't go longer than 1 week as it's a small island.
