How to choose
The best destination is not always the most famous one. It is the place that fits the available time and the type of experience you want.
A half-day should stay close to the starting city. Longer distances need a full day or overnight route.
Historic centres, palaces and viewpoints vary considerably in slopes, stairs and access.
Palaces, religious heritage, wine, coast and landscape lead to very different destination choices.
Combined destinations should make geographical and experiential sense, not merely fit on a list.
