We want a weekend that feels easy: one city, one base, and no heroic planning. The two things that usually decide whether it happens are timing and the “basecamp” spot where we naturally keep meeting up. If we agree on those two, the rest becomes flexible: museums for some, long lunches for others, a night out for whoever still has energy.
This proposal keeps it simple: choose the weekend windows that can work, then choose a basecamp area that feels right for the group’s vibe and budget. The basecamp matters because it shapes walking time, safety at night, and how expensive everything feels.
Vote on the windows and the basecamp anchors. Comments are welcome for constraints like early return, food preferences, or “quiet nights only.”
Good for spring weather and early booking.
Feels like the start of summer without peak-season prices.
Longer days and more outdoor options.
Central and walkable, easy for first-time visitors, often busier at night.
More local feel with cafés and viewpoints, usually a calmer base for evenings.
Great daytime spots and river walks, but it’s less “central nightlife”.
General reference for comparing travel options and arrival times.
