Fifty euros a day in Rome is achievable, but only if you understand which of the famous sights are free and which quietly cost twenty.
Seven days is the exact point where the full Ring Road becomes possible and slightly rushed. The south coast alone is the better trip for most people.
Ten days is enough for Madrid and Andalusia properly, or Barcelona and the east — but not both, because the AVE between them costs a day.
Portugal is small enough that a week can cover both cities properly — provided you take the fast train and skip the Algarve entirely.
Tokyo has no centre, and treating it as one city rather than a dozen dense districts is what makes a first visit exhausting.
Two of Amsterdam's three headline sights sell out weeks ahead, and a plan made on arrival is a plan that misses them.
