Regional train routes

Rail-led itineraries between towns

Route notes on connection timing, station walks, and where a night in a smaller town gives you more time than the main stops allow.

Recommended walking: two to three hours of unhurried streets between stations.

Neighborhood stays

Staying put long enough to notice

Practical notes on choosing a neighborhood base, local customs around meals and shops, and everyday logistics that shape a slower stay.

Recommended walking: a single loop of the neighborhood each morning before midday.

I pay attention to the details that give a place its character. A guide should help you find your way, while leaving room to wander.— Keh
