| Day Hike | $0-50 | Easy to Hard |
| Multi-Day Trek | $200-800 | Moderate to Extreme |
| Extreme Sports | $100-500 | Hard |
When to Go
June–September is peak season — warm, dry, and busy. Book 2–3 months ahead. Prices are 30-50% higher than shoulder season.
April–May and October are my pick: mild weather, lower prices, and the countryside is at its greenest. This is when I travel most.
November–March is low season — rainy in many destinations, but the cheapest time to visit. Southern destinations (Spain, Portugal, Greece, Morocco) stay relatively mild.
Getting There
Most destinations are reachable by train + short taxi. Book train tickets through Trainline or the national rail service. For remote destinations, a rental car gives you the most flexibility — Auto Europe has good cross-border rates.
Within cities, public transport is almost always faster and cheaper than taxis. Buy a day pass or a transport card — single tickets are rarely worth it. I use Citymapper or Google Maps for real-time transit info.
