Destinations
Eight destinations, each with several versions of the same trip
Every destination page gives you a suggested duration, a general route, the practical details that matter and the scenarios that suit different budgets and interests.
Italy
The classic multi-way destination. The same ten days can be a cheap train trip, a food route, a coastal escape or a museum marathon.
Example duration: 8 to 12 days
France
Paris plus one region is the formula that works. Which region you pick changes the entire character of the trip.
Example duration: 7 to 12 days
Spain
Late dinners, big cities and Andalusian heat. One of the best value destinations in Western Europe.
Example duration: 8 to 12 days
Japan
Efficient, detailed and endlessly layered. Twelve days covers the classic route without rushing it.
Example duration: 10 to 14 days
Portugal
Small distances, low prices and a coastline that keeps giving. The best country on this list for slow travel.
Example duration: 7 to 10 days
Greece
Athens plus islands, with ferry timetables deciding more of your itinerary than you would like.
Example duration: 7 to 12 days
United Kingdom
London, one countryside region and one northern city. Rail makes the combination straightforward.
Example duration: 7 to 12 days
Thailand
Bangkok, the north and the islands. Three very different trips that happen to share a country.
Example duration: 10 to 16 days
