266 destinationsHow to use these theme scores
A theme score compares interests within one destination, not destinations with each other. A city that scores 90 here is strong on this interest compared with everything else it offers; it is not a claim that it beats the city next to it. That is why the cards show trip lengths and best months rather than a rank.
Start with when you can go. Most places have a season that makes or breaks them, and the month chart in each guide compares the twelve months within that city. A destination that scores well for this theme in June can be a poor use of a week in November.
Then how long you have. Each card shows the trip length the guide suggests. A three-day city and a seven-day one are different holidays, and the itineraries above are written for those lengths.
Every destination here has a full guide: the best months, the areas worth staying in, what is worth your time, and hotels with no booking fee.
