Its not clear what you are interested in- are you going to be backpacking? are you more into cities, beaches, mountains-- a combination? You can see a lot in 2 or 3 months. You might want to check out Lonely Planets boards. I'm in my 20's and in a few months in Europe I would definitely want to see Venice, Paris, London, some castles-- maybe the Loire region in France or southern France near the Spanish border, the Alps-- maybe Chamonix and Mt Blanc in the French alps, and then head to less central areas-- since you are travelling before the height of the summer when its really hot Greece and Spain might be really good.

I would suggest you to come to Andalucia( Sevilla, Cordoba, Granada,etc ) for 6 or 7 days, during Holy Week ( 8-15 April ), to experience those cities at their best. Seville might be a good base. Besides, go to Paris, Venice, Prague, Tuscany, The Alps, Munich, Krakow,Salamanca, Segovia, Toledo, Santiago de Compostela, Salzburg, Vienna, Rome, Brugge, Copenhague, Stockholm, Barcelona, The French Riviera and Provence, Napoli Gulf,.... <BR>So much to see! <BR> <BR>

I would probably have done a little more research before entering into a trip like this. Are you sure you wish to visit for three months bearing in mind you've never been before? <BR> <BR>I'm always a little cautious about 'must-sees' as someones must see is another persons wasted afternoon. Best bet - read up on Europe and decide what appeals to you THEN ask peoples opinion of said exhibit/site etc.
