6 Days on the Amalfi Coast: A Complete Itinerary

The Amalfi Coast rewards people who move slowly and stay put. Base yourself in one or two towns, use the ferries instead of the coast road wherever possible, and accept that you will not see everything. This itinerary bases you in Positano for three nights and Amalfi for three.

Portugal · 4 days

4 Days in Lisbon: Neighbourhoods, Sintra and the Coast

Lisbon is hilly, compact and best walked downhill. Group each day around one or two neighbourhoods, take the tram uphill and your legs will last the whole trip.

7 Days in Iceland: Reykjavik, Golden Circle and the South Coast

Seven days is enough for Reykjavik, the Golden Circle and the south coast as far as the glacier lagoon, driven at a sane pace. Trying to add the Ring Road in the same week means seeing it all through a windscreen.

Barcelona
Spain · 4 days

4 Days in Barcelona: Gaudí, Gothic Quarter and the Sea

Barcelona's headline sights sell out days ahead, so book Sagrada Família and Park Güell before anything else and build the rest of the days around those slots. Everything else is walkable or one metro ride away.

Geneva, Switzerland
Geneva
Switzerland · 3 days

3 Days in Geneva: Lake, Old Town and the Alps

Geneva is small, expensive and extremely well connected — which makes it a good base as well as a destination. Two days in the city plus one day trip into the Alps or to Annecy is the right shape.

5 Days in Paris: A Complete Itinerary

Paris rewards a slow pace. The best days cluster sights by neighbourhood so you walk more and ride the metro less. This itinerary covers the classic centre, the Left Bank, Montmartre, Versailles and one relaxed day for museums and cafés. It assumes you stay in the 4th, 6th or 9th arrondissement.

Greece · 7 days

7 Days in Greece: Athens, the Cyclades and the Sea

One week in Greece is a classic first-timer's shape: two days in Athens for the ancient city, then three or four on the islands. This itinerary pairs Athens with Naxos and Santorini so you get beaches and villages as well as the postcard caldera view, without spending the week chasing ferries.
