as the wrath is the font of all norwich, some travel advice please

I'm taking the missus to europe for our honeymoon this year.
We want to do something a little different, we are not really 2 weeks on a beach people, so the idea is for a mini european tour.
I'm thinking of taking in 3/4 cities over 2 weeks, and travelling between them on the train.
That way we get slighlty more relaxed travel than flying and get to see some of the countries we travel through.
Also I'm thinking of using sleeper trains where possible as this minimises daytime travelling to give more 'days' in the actual destinations.
So, what i'd like from you guys is suggestions for cities.
Will probably take in 1 or 2 of the 'obvious' choices such as Rome or Venice, we'vew already been to prague and loved it but i'd rather 'discover' somewhere new.
ANy suggestions?
