San Sebastian in Spain, that place is unbelievable. Unfortunately i was only able to stay for two days (and no nights, long story) but it was one of my favorite cities. Venice you have to see, of course. I'd also recommend trecking around Switzerland, the country side is gorgeous there.
I did pretty much the same thing you seem to be, went for a month with a EURAIL pass. It can get hectic if you want to see as much as possible because you'll stay in one city for a day or two and then bone out: just long enough to get a feel for the place and then it's off to the next. I'm not gonna say "hope you have a good trip" because you will have a good trip .

Spain is damn nice. Warm laid back and full of easy women. Plus it doesn't smell like france does.
The dark forest in germany is great for tripping. (You may encounter german people so bring a weapon.)

I second the motion for Copenhagen (especially Christiania!). Also Paris (Pere La Chaise cemetary is wonderful... Centre Pompidou, Musee de la Musique, etc etc). Stockholm. Oslo is boring in my opinion (sorry Amantia!), go to see Bergen if you want to see a nice Nordic city. uhhh Munich is very nice. Madrid. the south of France (Nice or St Tropez)... also Provence in France is really nice if you just want to chill out, drink wine, and eat nice food...
i'm too hungover to think more

I had an amazing time in Luzern (many say it is the most beautiful city in switzerland, and I can't disagree,) Another motion for Kopenhagen, I love that city, it just has a feeling about it...can't explain. Don't go to Dresden. Just don't. Hey, make sure the Eurorail pass is the real deal, or just know what countries you can and can't go through.
I was on the train going from Munich to Verona, so obviously we had to go through Austria. Some american dude, who didn't speak a damn word of anything but english, and would not stop talking to me, got busted by the controller.
See, his 'railpass' was good for Germany and Italy and other places, but NOT Austria. I had to translate what the controller was saying, pretty much "you dumb fuck, give me 14 Euro, or I kick you off the train somwhere in Austria..." I found it funny, but dude, make sure it doesn't happen to you.
Remeber to get drunk on an ICE in germany....man those trains are sweet. (Buy your own beer at the station, it cheaper. And you can go to the smoking car if you smoke...)
Remember that the Swiss can be dicks about border crossing, so always has you "Pass" ready to show them (passport.) And pack a fucking brown bag for Zurich, goddamn that place is expensive.
Anyways, maybe you knew all that.
Have fun buddy, wandering Europe is amazing.
