Hello! My wife, daughter (20), and myself will be traveling to Europe in mid-late August. We are in the early activity planning stages but will spend 14 nights total starting in Vienna, then by train to Prague and finishing by train in Munich. We are trying to figure out how many nights to spend in each city. Our full day outings away from each city will include a day trip to Bratislava from Vienna, Kutna Hora from Prague, and two day trips from Munich to Neuschwanstein Castle and Salzburg. Our plan is to spend the last 5 nights in Munich but are trying to figure out how divide the first 9 nights between Vienna and Prague. Looking for any suggestions from those who have experience traveling to any or all of these cities and how much time to allocate each one. Thank you!

You're talking about visiting three or four really great cities. Prague, Munich and Vienna are all worthy of a 4 day minimum each. Salzburg is a 2 day town. From Vienna to Bratislava is only a 39 mile bus ride, and it's a neat, high tech/high income town to visit.
We do suggest taking one of the Free Walking Tours offered online at all those cities. The tour guides are excellent and they work for tips only. And those cities are compact enough where you can walk'em.
I know a great place to stay in for Vienna if you'll PM me.
