What can we do in that short of a time...anything?

Hello, everyone!
I'm finalizing my trip in September to central Europe. I know everyone
is bored to death of reading posts (and responding to posts) like
"What's a good hotel in Prague?" or "Gosh, what's to do in Vienna?"

Hundreds in shot Brazilian protest
Hundreds of relatives and friends of the Brazilian shot dead by police
