With respect, you are asking us to plan a European trip for you, complete with all the details about transportation, accommodations, and virtually every other detail.

We are enthusiastic travelers, but you are looking for a travel planner, something which is beyond the scope of what we do or feel comfortable recommending.

Assuming you are sincere, you would benefit from purchasing a good guidebook to begin your research into your trip. A good starting point is the Rick Steves Best of Europe Guidebook: https://store.ricksteves.com/shop/p/best-europe-guidebook
which will give you an overview and help you do your initial planning. In addition, you will get a great overview of European travel by purchasing Europe Through the Back Door: https://store.ricksteves.com/shop/p/europe-through-the-back-door

Once you have digested those books, you will have a better idea about how to begin and end your trip. Many of us are pleased to answer particular questions, but your "tell me everything about Europe, please" approach is not likely to result in many great responses.

Seconding the suggestion made above and on your other post -- get your hands on a copy of Rick Steves' Europe Through the Back Door for general travel planning tips (you can also watch his travel talks videos on this site)

There's really no "best" city, sight, lodging type, transportation method -- it's always a tradeoff. Ease, Elegance, Economy : pick any two but you can't get all three at once.

You can find answers to most of your questions by exploring other parts of this Rick Steves website.

Not sure where you got the idea that RS is a solo traveler, implying that the info provided isn't relevant to your trip.

Here are some links to travel resources on this website that are for everyone.

Travel Tips cover all you're asking and more, starting off with a section on Trip Planning: https://www.ricksteves.com/travel-tips

Explore Europe covers all the countries you list with what to see in them. Click on Browse Countries to get started: https://www.ricksteves.com/europe

One resource outside the RS website that has been mentioned to you before on your other question is specifically for train travel. It's called the Man in Seat 61 and here's the link to A beginner's guide to Train Travel in Europe: https://www.seat61.com/Europe-train-travel.htm

Planning a trip is a significant iterative process, requiring time and lots of research. If you've never done it before, you'll have a steep learning curve. But with time and effort you will be able to do it.

If you can't spend the time and effort to do it yourself, going to a travel agent is probably your best bet.
