Every month, every city, on one page

Twelve months of prices

Average nightly hotel and flight cost for all twelve months, each one set against the annual average. You can see which weeks are cheap without working anything out.

Itineraries by trip length

Pick five days or ten and the nights, ferries and transfers are written for that length.

What most visitors miss

Every guide ends with hidden gems, the neighbourhood bakery or the ferry locals take instead of the tour boat. Each one gets a short note on why it’s worth the detour and how you find it.

Not sure where to go?

Five questions, about a minute. Your month, your daily budget, how long you have and the kind of place you want. You get the three cities that fit, scored on the same nightly rates the guides use.
