In the photos we took, we were wearing winter coats, but I don´t think it gets too cold in Rome.

A quick search says average max of 13C and average min of 5C in December. October looks a good time to visit: longer days, max/min 22/12C.

 

Thanks, yeah it all depends on how the cold feels, here in Spain my winter coat comes out at about 22 degrees  October sounds perfect though

So I know we have some Netherlands experts on here and I'm currently trying to persuade my balkan girlfriend who's sceptical of anywhere in continental Europe north west of Vienna that it'd make a good trip in September.

 

Would love a sleepy town with pretty architecture, canals, some nice cafes and possible day trips. Is that too much to ask for? Oh, and relatively accessible from London by train. Ain't gettin on no plane

We did Utrecht in October and had a great time. Eurostar to Brussels then train or Flixbus. Day trip to Amersfoort was good too.

Perhaps in the future we'll be able to go to Uranus for our holidays
