How this works

This is a map-first sketchbook, not a booking engine. Places are scored editorially for beauty, family fit, crowd level and style. The matchmaker ranks them against your answers; your choices are stored in a cookie on this device. Train times are indicative — always check 12306 before booking.

Not sure where to start?

Answer a few small questions and we’ll rank the map around your family, pace and appetite for crowds.
