Nothing Is Decided

Not the dates. Not the countries. Not how long. This site exists to change that — and you are one of the people who gets to decide.

Six countries Twelve cities Fourteen days Winter 2027/28 No plan

The one fact that decides this trip

Every argument on this site eventually comes back to daylight. In late December the sun sets before 4 PM in London and after 6 PM in Seville. Over fourteen days that gap is a materially different holiday — and it is the thing people underestimate most.

  1. Seville 6:10 PM
  2. Granada 6:05 PM
  3. Madrid 5:55 PM
  4. Barcelona 5:30 PM
  5. Athens 5:10 PM
  6. Paris 4:55 PM
  7. Naples 4:45 PM
  8. Florence 4:45 PM
  9. Rome 4:40 PM
  10. Venice 4:40 PM
  11. Amsterdam 4:29 PM
  12. London 3:53 PM

Sunset, late December — more than two hours of usable afternoon between top and bottom.

Where we are

This is a planning site, not an itinerary. No dates, no route, and no bookings exist yet. It has two jobs: show what these cities are actually like in winter, and lay out the decisions we need to make. Browse the cities, then weigh in on the questions.

The big one: which arc?

The southern countries and the northern cities are two coherent trips, not one. Cramming all six countries into two weeks means about a third of the trip in transit. Pick a lane:

Arc Cities The case for it The catch
Mediterranean Athens · Rome · Barcelona/Madrid Mild and bright, slower pace, the original idea Three flights between bases
Northern classics London · Paris · Amsterdam Tightest logistics of any option — all trains, city center to city center Dark and wet; Amsterdam’s sun sets at 4:29 PM in late December
Split arc Rome · Barcelona · Paris · London Covers both moods The most days in transit; drops Greece

Open Questions

11 decisions are on the table, from exact dates to whether we take trains or budget flights. Each has its own page with options, a recommendation, and a section on what would change its mind.

Twelve cities on the table

Nobody visits all of them. Two weeks realistically covers three or four bases. Read what appeals, mark what you want, and say so.

Say Something

“I don’t want to go to another museum” is useful. So is “I only care about Rome.” Nothing is booked, so changing the plan costs nothing today.
