Prague or Rome?
935 km apart, in Czechia and Italy. Each is scored month by month on the same ten years of climate readings, the public holidays that crowd it, and what the flight costs. This is where they part, and when.
Month by month
| Month | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prague | 3° 7d | 6° 7d | 10° 6d | 14° 6d | 18° 10d | 24° 10d | 25° 10d | 25° 10d | 20° 8d | 15° 7d | 8° 8d | 4° 8d |

| Pick | Rome | Rome | either | Prague | Prague | Rome | Rome | Rome | Rome | either | Rome | Rome |
Each cell is that destination's own verdict for the month — sweet spot, ok or avoid — with its typical daily high and its rainy days ("11d"). The pick goes to the better verdict; with the same verdict, to the higher score, unless the two are within a whisker of each other, when it is either. A month both would avoid is neither. A dot marks a busy month.

The flight time is estimated from the distance. A road, train or bus is named only where it was measured — flights from AeroDataBox, roads from OpenRouteService, timetables via Transitous — and none of it is a fare; the searches on each destination's page are where prices live.
