Your Europe planning guide
Find a city, check the journey and put a budget together.
Choose your cities, people, days and nights. See accommodation, daily spending and available journey costs separately.
Daily budgets for two travel styles, with the number of days worth planning around.
London works best in neighbourhood-sized pieces. Pair a museum with nearby streets and leave time for the river or a park. The biggest budget choices are usually your room, airport journey and a few paid visits.

The Louvre and the Eiffel Tower can fill your booking calendar quickly. Leave a little Paris outside it: the free rooms of Carnavalet, a garden bench and a neighbourhood lunch can be just as much a part of the trip. Group your stops by area to save long metro rides.

Rome works best as several neighbourhood days. Put the ancient sites together, give the Vatican its own block of time and leave the lanes around the Pantheon for an unhurried walk. The distances add up quickly if you cross the city between every stop.

Tbilisi is a city of steep neighbourhoods, courtyards, sulphur-bath streets and broad avenues rather than one compact old town. Plan each day by area and use the metro or bus when the map hides a large climb.

Edinburgh has short map distances and real climbs. Give the Old Town, a museum and a park walk enough time, then choose a separate trip to Leith if it interests you. Castle tickets and festival dates deserve attention before the rest of the plan.

Copenhagen works well when you give each day a small area: the old centre, a neighbourhood, or the harbour. Choose one paid visit, leave time for a bakery stop and use the metro when walking starts to feel like a chore.

The practical way between two cities, with journey time, distance and the fare source.
Take a direct train and allow roughly four hours between Berlin and Prague. Compare the same departure with DB and ČD, check the Prague arrival station and leave the first arrival plans flexible.
Fare source checked: 21 Sep 2026
Fares vary by departure and ticket conditions.
Use the overnight train when a night on the move suits, or choose a coach for its actual stops. Compare the complete berth or ticket, border time and arrival transfer.
Source review date not recorded
Fares vary by departure and ticket conditions.
Compare the sailing time, both terminals and the hours you will have ashore. Tallink shuttles take about two hours; other passenger departures take longer. Book the return before treating Tallinn as a day trip.

Fares vary by departure and ticket conditions.
The train is a good fit when you want to arrive in central Edinburgh. Compare Lumo and LNER on the same date, including luggage and ticket-change rules.

Pick your stops, the number of people and your travel style. The calculator adds rooms, meals, local transport and sights for each city, and keeps journey fares separate.
Calculators built on dated records and clearly stated assumptions.
Short, checked guides for the details that cost travellers time and money.
Check documents for the whole journey, leave room for the road transfer and keep shopping allowances separate from entry permission.
Match your bus with the right park entrance and return stop, then choose an open route that leaves enough time for the journey home.
Choose a car for your route, check cover and 2026 road-use charges, then compare the whole vehicle cost with tours for your group.
