One continent, many different ideas of a good holiday.
Europe makes the region question unavoidable: a fast train can turn two cities into one trip, and a short flight can do the same across borders. Choose the cities first, then let the route choose the countries. From there, the city guides narrow things down to the quarter you actually sleep in.

The cities we have mapped in detail — neighbourhood by neighbourhood.

Europe04Beach, Gothic lanes or modernist grid — pick one to wake up in.
Europe05A city that starts late, eats later and rewards the right neighbourhood.

A city pair that looks close on a map can still take half a day once you count the station walk, the platform wait and the check-in at the other end. Count door to door, and do not book a museum for the same afternoon you change cities.
Many neighbourhood restaurants and small shops keep shorter hours or close on Sunday or Monday. Check the specific address before you build a day around it; central landmarks usually stay open, but the places you came for may not.
Room size, bed size and lift access tell you more about a two-person stay than the star rating. Older buildings can be charming and cramped at the same time. If luggage space matters, ask before you book.
Tell me the cities you’re weighing and how you like to travel. I’ll answer with a specific neighbourhood, not a list.
